Privacy Policy
The short version:bCare processes your battery data on your device to power its features. We don't sell your data, and we collect as little as possible.
1. Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how BJS Soft Solutions, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Battery Care (bCare) mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to this policy.
The App is operated by BJS Soft Solutions, LLC, located in Chesterbrook, PA, United States. For any privacy questions or requests, contact us at support@batterycare.app.
2. Information we collect
We collect only what the App’s features require.
Account information. If you create an account or sign in (e.g., with Google via Firebase Authentication) to use cloud features such as Device Sync, we collect your email address and a user ID.
Device battery and diagnostic data. To provide battery monitoring, health estimates, and alarms, the App reads your device’s battery level, charging state, capacity, temperature, and related battery statistics.
Multi-device (Sync Device) data. If you use the Sync Device feature, you scan a QR/barcode to link another device to your account. To show that device’s battery, we transmit and store battery level and status, a device identifier/pairing token, and a device label for each linked device, associated with your account.
App usage statistics (optional). If you enable the "what’s draining your battery" feature, the App uses Android’s Usage Access to read which apps are running and their power usage on your device to build your report.
Connected Bluetooth device data. With your permission, the App reads the battery level and name of Bluetooth devices (e.g., earbuds, smartwatch) you connect, to display their battery status.
Calendar data. If you use charging reminders, the App writes reminder events you create to your device calendar and reads them to manage those reminders. We do not read your other calendar events.
Purchase information. If you buy a subscription, purchases are processed by Google Play Billing (via RevenueCat). We receive your purchase and subscription status, not your payment card details.
Diagnostics and analytics. We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to collect app interaction events, crash logs, and performance data to improve the App.
Advertising data. The free version shows ads through AppLovin MAX mediation and its networks (which may include Google AdMob, Unity Ads, BidMachine, Chartboost, ironSource, MobileFuse, and Ogury). These partners may collect your advertising ID (AD_ID), device information, and app-activity data to serve and measure ads.
We do NOT collect: precise or coarse location, contacts, SMS, call logs, photos, or files (the camera is used only to scan a pairing QR code and captures no images).
3. How we use information
We use the information to: provide battery monitoring, alarms, and health estimates; operate the Device Sync and connected-device features; deliver notifications and reminders; process and restore subscriptions; provide, secure, and improve the App; diagnose crashes; and (in the free version) show and measure ads.
5. Data transfer and security
Data transmitted between your devices and our servers — including Sync Device data — is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
6. Data retention and deletion
We retain account and synced-device data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account and associated data at any time from within the App (Settings → Delete account) or by emailing support@batterycare.app; we will delete it within 30 days, except where retention is legally required.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (e.g., under GDPR or CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your data, to withdraw consent, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact support@batterycare.app.
You can also reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalization in your device settings, and manage per-feature permissions in Android Settings at any time.
8. Children’s privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Third-party services
The App relies on third-party services with their own privacy policies, including: Google Firebase & Google Play services, RevenueCat, AppLovin, Google AdMob, Unity Ads, and other mediation networks. We encourage you to review their policies.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, an in-app notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
