Arewa Web Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Arewa Web is an Android browser application designed to help users search, visit websites, manage tabs, save bookmarks, view browsing history, download files, and use web content through Android WebView. This policy describes the privacy practices of the Arewa Web browser interface and related app features.

Websites opened inside Arewa Web are controlled by their own operators. A website may collect data, set cookies, request permissions, show advertisements, use analytics, or process information according to its own privacy policy. Arewa Web does not control third-party websites.

2. Information stored on your device

Arewa Web may store certain browser information locally on your device to make the app useful and convenient. This may include browsing history, search history, bookmarks, top sites, download history, website cookies, cached files, site storage, permissions, and browser preferences.

3. Cookies and website storage

Websites can use cookies, local storage, session storage, cache, and other WebView storage mechanisms. These technologies may keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure traffic, support security, or personalize website content.

Arewa Web provides options to clear browsing data such as browsing history, cookies, site data, cached files, and WebView form data. Clearing cookies or site data may sign you out of websites or reset website preferences.

4. Permissions

Some websites may request access to device features such as camera, microphone, location, notifications, file upload, or storage. Arewa Web uses Android runtime permission flows and website permission prompts where appropriate.

Permission access is only used when required by the website or browser feature and when allowed by the user or device settings. You can manage permissions through Android settings and Arewa Web site settings where available.

5. Diagnostics and app reliability

Arewa Web may use limited diagnostic information to improve stability, performance, and reliability. This may include crash reports, app version, device model, Android version, performance events, and error information.

Diagnostic information is used to identify crashes, fix bugs, improve browser performance, and understand whether important app features are working correctly. Arewa Web does not need your website passwords to provide diagnostics.

5a. Notifications and optional push statistics

Movie notifications are optional. If you enable them, Firebase Cloud Messaging manages your device subscription to Arewa Movies TV updates. Notification permission and optional statistics are separate choices.

When you turn on movie notifications in the updated app, the invitation and notification settings explain that Arewa push statistics are also enabled once the subscription succeeds. You can turn these statistics off separately while continuing to receive notifications. Installing an update or reopening the app does not automatically enable statistics for existing notification users or reverse an explicit opt-out. While statistics are enabled, Arewa Movies TV receives a random installation identifier, subscription state, a one-way token digest for refresh reconciliation, coarse app foreground check-ins, and the campaign identifier and time when you intentionally open a notification. This first-party measurement does not collect browsing history, visited page URLs, names, email addresses, phone numbers, or complete Firebase registration tokens. Random installation identifiers are pseudonymous data; they do not identify a verified person or physical device.

The default server retention is 90 days for notification-open events and 180 days for installations without updates, with removal through scheduled maintenance. Pending events on the device expire after seven days. The app encrypts its installation credential and local queue using Android Keystore and excludes them from backup and device transfer.

You can turn off statistics or choose Delete my push statistics in notification settings. Local collection stops immediately and a server deletion request is queued until a connection is available. Deletion removes the installation record and its retained opens; a restricted anti-abuse deletion-receipt digest may remain for up to seven days. You may give the installation identifier shown in the app to Arewa Movies TV when requesting assistance with deletion. Turning statistics off does not turn off movie notifications.

Firebase usage analytics is a separate optional preference, off by default. If enabled, Google Analytics may measure the app's existing usage events and supported automatic notification reporting. Turning it off stops future collection and resets local Analytics data; it does not itself erase previously processed Google cloud data. Crash diagnostics remain separate. Firebase App Check and Play Integrity help authenticate installation enrollment and may process app/device attestation information according to Google's service policies. Our server processes connection addresses for abuse prevention and stores short-lived salted digests for rate limiting; infrastructure logs and backups are handled separately.

6. What Arewa Web does not do

• Arewa Web does not intentionally collect your passwords.
• Arewa Web does not sell your personal browsing history.
• Arewa Web does not own or control the privacy practices of websites you visit.
• Arewa Web does not force websites to use the browser theme.
• Arewa Web does not replace a website privacy policy.

7. Third-party websites and services

When you use Arewa Web to open a website, the website may contact its own servers and third-party services. Examples include search engines, video players, analytics providers, advertising networks, payment providers, social media services, content delivery networks, and login systems.

You should review the privacy policy of each website or service you use. Arewa Web is a browser and cannot control the data practices of independent websites.

8. Your choices

You can manage your privacy by clearing browsing data, clearing cookies, clearing site data, deleting history, removing bookmarks, deleting downloads, managing Android permissions, and changing website permissions. You can also use private browsing features where available.

9. Children and sensitive use

Arewa Web is a general browser application. Users should follow local laws, device rules, family safety settings, and website age requirements. Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising children and configuring device-level protections where needed.

10. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect app changes, legal requirements, or improved privacy explanations. The updated date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised.
