Privacy Policy
Look, privacy policies are usually a nightmare to read. Walls of legal text that nobody actually understands. I get it. So I've tried to write this one differently – plain English, no unnecessary jargon, just the stuff you actually need to know.
By using KingRoot.web.app, you're agreeing to what's written here. If something doesn't sit right with you, feel free to reach out through our Contact Page. We're happy to explain things further.
The Quick Version (For Busy People)
- We collect basic info when you comment or contact us
- Cookies are used – like literally every website
- Google Analytics tracks visitor stats (anonymized)
- We don't sell your personal data. Ever.
- You can request deletion of your info anytime
- Third-party links are not our responsibility

What Data Do We Actually Collect?
Personal Data (Stuff You Give Us)
When you interact with our site – leaving comments, filling out forms, contacting us – we might collect:
- Your name – whatever you type in
- Email address – for replies and notifications
- Any other info you voluntarily share – comments, questions, feedback
We're not asking for your life story. Just the basics needed to respond to you or process your request. Nothing creepy.
Usage Data (Stuff We Collect Automatically)
Our servers automatically log certain information when you visit. This is pretty standard for any website:
- IP address – partially anonymized, don't worry
- Browser type – Chrome, Firefox, Safari, whatever you're using
- Device info – mobile, desktop, tablet
- Operating system – Windows, Mac, Android, iOS
- Pages you visited – which articles you read
- Time spent – how long you stuck around
- Referral source – where you came from (Google search, social media, direct link)
This helps us understand what content people find useful. That's literally it. We're not building a profile on you to sell to advertisers.
Cookies – Yes, We Use Them
Every website uses cookies. If someone tells you their site doesn't use any cookies at all, they're probably lying. Or confused.
What Are Cookies?
Small text files stored on your device by your browser. They remember stuff – your preferences, login status, whether you've visited before. Makes the internet actually usable.
Types of Cookies We Use:
Essential Cookies – These make the website work properly. Without them, things break. Can't really disable these.
Analytics Cookies – We use Google Analytics to see general traffic patterns. How many visitors, which pages are popular, what devices people use. Your IP gets anonymized before anything is stored.
Preference Cookies – Remember if you've commented before so you don't have to re-enter your name and email every single time. Lasts about a year.
Don't Want Cookies?
Your browser lets you block them. Go to settings, find the privacy/cookies section, and disable. Fair warning though – some features might not work properly if you do this.
We're not going to force cookies on you. Your choice.
How We Use Your Information
Okay, so we've collected some data. What happens to it?
| Purpose | What Data | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Respond to your messages | Name, email | So we can actually reply to you |
| Improve our content | Usage data | See what articles people find helpful |
| Detect spam | IP address, browser info | Keep bots out of comment sections |
| Fix technical issues | Device info, error logs | Figure out why something broke |
| Legal compliance | Whatever's required | If the law says we must, we must |
What we DON'T do:
- ❌ Sell your data to third parties
- ❌ Share your email with marketers
- ❌ Build advertising profiles on you
- ❌ Track you across other websites
- ❌ Anything shady, basically
We're a small website about rooting Android phones. We don't have some evil data monetization scheme going on.
Third-Party Services We Use
Google Analytics
Yeah, we use it. Most websites do. It tells us how many people visit, which pages are popular, and general demographics (age ranges, locations, etc.).
Important: We've enabled IP Anonymization. Google doesn't see your full IP address. The last digits get masked before any data is processed.
If you're really paranoid about Google tracking, you can install their Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Completely blocks it.
Advertising Partners
We might run ads to keep the lights on. If we do, these could include:
- Google AdSense
- Amazon Associates
- Other affiliate programs
These services have their own privacy policies and use their own cookies. When you see an ad and click it, their rules apply, not ours. We don't control what data they collect.
Sharing Your Information
We don't randomly share your data with people. But there are some situations where we might:
Legal Requirements – If a court orders us to hand over information, we have to comply. That's how laws work.
Business Transfers – If this website ever gets sold (unlikely, but possible), your data would transfer to the new owner. We'd notify you before that happens.
Service Providers – Our hosting company, email service, analytics tools – they technically have access to some data because they help run the site. They're bound by their own privacy agreements though.
With Your Consent – If you explicitly ask us to share something, we will. But only if you ask.
That's it. We're not selling your info to random companies or building some massive database to monetize later.
How Long Do We Keep Your Data?
Comments: Forever, unless you ask us to delete them. The comment content, your name, email, IP – all stays in our database indefinitely.
Contact Form Submissions: We keep these for about 2 years for reference, then delete them.
Analytics Data: Depends on Google's retention settings. Typically 26 months. But remember, your IP is anonymized anyway.
Account Data: If you created an account, your info stays until you delete the account yourself or ask us to do it.
Your Rights – What You Can Do
You're not powerless here. You actually have a bunch of rights:
You Can:
✅ Access your data – Ask us what info we have on you ✅ Correct mistakes – If something's wrong, tell us and we'll fix it ✅ Delete everything – Request complete removal of your data ✅ Export your data – Get a copy of everything we have ✅ Opt out of analytics – Use browser extensions to block tracking ✅ Disable cookies – Through your browser settings
How to Make a Request:
Head over to our Contact Page and send us a message. Tell us what you need – data export, deletion, correction, whatever. We'll handle it within 30 days.
One exception: If we're legally required to keep certain data, we can't delete that. But this is rare for a website like ours.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. Encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure servers, limited access to databases – the usual stuff.
But here's the reality:
No system is 100% secure. The internet is inherently risky. We do our best, but we can't guarantee absolute protection. If you're transmitting super sensitive information, maybe don't do it through a random website about rooting phones. Just common sense.
If Something Goes Wrong:
In the unlikely event of a data breach, we'll notify affected users within 72 hours. We'll explain what happened, what data was exposed, and what steps you should take.
External Links
Our articles link to other websites. Download pages, forums, official Android documentation, whatever's helpful.
Here's the thing:
Once you click an external link, you've left our site. Their privacy policy applies, not ours. We can't control what they do with your data.
Use your judgment. If a linked site looks sketchy, close the tab and move on.
Children's Privacy
This website isn't meant for kids under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
If you're a parent and you think your child submitted personal info on our site, contact us immediately. We'll delete it. No questions asked.
Changes to This Policy
We might update this page occasionally. New laws get passed. Services change. Features get added.
We won't email you every time we tweak a sentence. But the "Last Updated" date at the top will change. Check back once in a while if you care about this stuff.
By continuing to use the site after changes are posted, you're accepting the new terms.
Questions?
Confused about something? Want clarification? Think we're doing something wrong with your data?
Reach out through our Contact Page. We read everything and respond as quickly as we can.
Thanks for trusting KingRoot.web.app. We take your privacy seriously – even if this policy was written in a casual tone. The protection is still real.
