Privacy policy

Searches and preferences

MultiSearch Plus stores search history, saved searches, presets, and preferences on your device. Game-title suggestions use a catalog bundled with the app; typing a partial title does not send a suggestion request to the catalog provider.

When you search, your query and relevant filters are sent to your selected stores through their search-page addresses.

Optional iCloud sync

Full Access includes optional syncing of saved searches, recent searches, and search settings between devices using the same iCloud account. Syncing is off until you enable it in Options.

When enabled, the app stores search titles, selected stores and systems, search filters, timestamps, search settings, and records of removals in your private iCloud database using Apple CloudKit. The app developer does not receive a copy of this data through the sync feature. Appearance, store presets, and store sign-in cookies remain on each device.

You can turn syncing off in Options. This stops future syncing but does not delete data already stored in iCloud. Removing saved or recent searches while syncing is enabled synchronizes those removals; removal records are retained to prevent deleted searches from reappearing. Syncing requires an internet connection, and offline changes are saved on the device until syncing resumes.

Store websites

Store results appear in an embedded browser. Stores may receive your IP address and use cookies and website storage. Sign-in, shipping, payment, and checkout information are handled by those stores under their own privacy policies. MultiSearch Plus does not require a separate app account.

Advertising

The free version uses Google AdMob. Google’s advertising software may process IP addresses and approximate location derived from them, device and app identifiers, ad interactions, and diagnostics to provide ads, measure performance, and prevent fraud.

The app requests non-personalized ads. Non-personalized ads can still involve data collection. Consent choices are presented where applicable; available privacy choices can be revisited through Options. Full Access disables the app’s ad placements, but does not remove advertising from store websites.

See Google’s privacy policy and advertising data disclosure.

Purchases

Apple processes Full Access payments. The app uses verified transaction information to determine access and restore purchases. The app does not receive your payment-card details from Apple.

Feedback

Submitting feedback sends the feedback type, your message, and the app version to our Google Apps Script feedback service. Feedback may be stored in a Google sheet and delivered to the developer by email. Please do not include sensitive information.

We keep submitted feedback while it is being addressed, then delete it from our feedback sheet and notification emails within 90 days after it is resolved. To request deletion of feedback, contact us with enough information to identify your submission.

Optional support link

The Buy us a coffee link opens Ko-fi. Any information you provide there is handled by Ko-fi and its payment providers under their own privacy policies.

Questions and changes

Email appmultisearch@gmail.com with privacy questions or feedback-deletion requests. Local saved and recent searches can be removed in the app. Requests concerning stores, Google advertising, or Apple transactions may need to be directed to those services.

We will update this policy when the app’s practices change.
