01Overview#
This privacy policy explains how Beforein ("we", "us") handles information when you use Bluecat: Cartoon Wallpaper (the "App") on Android. It describes what we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it and the choices you have.
We only collect what the App needs to work, to stay reliable and to show ads that keep it free. We do not sell your personal information. If you have questions, contact us at zelta005@gmail.com.
02Information we collect#

You can change your choice from the App's settings.
Your controls on Android:
