Multiverse App Cloner Policy
Privacy Policy
1Summary
Multiverse has no account and no server of its own. We do not read, collect or transmit anything inside your cloned apps. The only data that leaves your phone goes to Google: for ads, for Multiverse Pro, and for usage statistics and crash reports (sections 3, 4 and 6).
2Data stored on your phone
- Your clone list and settings.
- Your app lock PIN, stored only as an encrypted hash.
- Whether you have Multiverse Pro.
- Each clone's own data (its logins, messages and files). Multiverse stores it for the clone, never reads it, and deletes it when you remove the clone.
None of this is sent to us. Whether you have Pro, and roughly how many clones you have, are also sent to Google Firebase (section 6).
3Advertising
The free version shows ads from Google AdMob: full-screen ads and banners. To show and measure them, Google receives your advertising ID, basic device information and your approximate location from your IP address. Nothing about your clones is shared. You can reset your advertising ID or turn off personalised ads in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. Multiverse Pro removes all ads. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
4Multiverse Pro
Multiverse Pro is a subscription sold through Google Play. Your payment details go to Google, not to us. Pro works only on the phone it was bought on: when you buy it, the app attaches a one-way hash of the phone's Android ID to the purchase. Google's billing library may also send Google technical diagnostics about purchases. You can manage or cancel Pro in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions.

6Usage statistics and crash reports
To learn how many people use Multiverse and which of its features they use, the app sends usage statistics to Google Analytics for Firebase and crash reports to Firebase Crashlytics. They receive:
- Which of Multiverse's own features you use and which of its screens you open. For example, that a clone was created or opened, or that an automation rule ran.
- Whether you have Multiverse Pro, and roughly how many clones you have (for example "2–4").
- Basic device information: your phone model, Android version, language and the app version.
- If Multiverse crashes: the error and where in Multiverse it happened.
- A random ID that Firebase creates for this installation, and your approximate location (country and city), worked out from your IP address.
They never receive which apps you clone, their names, or anything inside them. Firebase does not read your advertising ID or Android ID, and this data is not used for ads. Crash reports are kept for 90 days. Uninstalling Multiverse stops all of it. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
7Security
Multiverse keeps your data in its private storage, and the app lock uses Android's encrypted storage. Android protects your original apps from clones. Clones are kept apart from each other by Multiverse, not by Android, so a malicious app inside one clone could reach another clone's data.
8Deleting your data
Remove a clone to delete it and all its data. Uninstall Multiverse to delete everything on your phone. We keep no copy anywhere else. The usage statistics and crash reports in section 6 are tied only to Firebase's random installation ID, not to you, and Google deletes them on its own retention schedule (90 days for crash reports).
9Children
Multiverse is not directed at children.
