• Push Engage – If you subscribe to our push notification service, this will only collect the geolocation that is country, state, and the city at the time of subscription. This service does not store any personal data that can identify a subscriber individually at the time of web push subscription. In case if you don’t want to share your location, then you can disable it by navigating to Settings > Privacy settings. From there you can enable or disable the geolocation.

6. How long we retain your data

GetDroidTips.com strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. Information collected using Google Analytics is retained for a period of 14 months. After the end of the retention period, the data is deleted automatically.
