Read about the difference here: Personalized and non-personalized ads
David Gross uses personalized ads via Google AbMob and Google Adsense, except in the EEA (European Economic Area) and UK (also know as GDPR General Data Protection Regulation countries), and California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virgina, and Utah, where David Gross restricts data processing and uses non-personalized ads when applicable and supported by Google. Google has expanded ad-serving protections for teens globally. As such, people above the digital age of consent but under 18 years of age ("teens") have ads personalization disabled in both Google AdMob and Google Adsense. Separately, in California, data processing is set to restricted on the Google Adsense and Google AdMob side.
Google AdMob and Google Adsense personalize ads based on factors such as:
Additional ad technology vendors are allowed on David Gross' Apps, but do not override the non-personalized settings for the EEA and UK (GDPR countries), or California. These include technologies like third-party cookies and tracking pixels.
Non-personalized ads are ads that are not based on a user's past behavior, and not based on demographic targeting or user list targeting. In this case, cookies and mobile ad identifiers are not used for ad targeting. Instead, these ads are targeted using contextual information, such as:
All of David Gross' apps are configured to never send the user's precise location to Google AdMob or Google Adsense, although your coarse location may be inferred by Google AdMob or Google Adsense based on your map viewing, IP address, or current app search queries.
No, in general, ads will not initialize and most AdMob requests will be eliminated, except for "app measurement" requests. These app measurement requests are not supposed to be third-party in nature, rather they report directly back to Google. David Gross continually works toward eliminating app measurement and associated technologies if possible in his apps and websites, but due to possible intertangling in the AdMob and Adsense API (Application Programming Interface), it may not be feasible or guaranteed to have a perfectly clean app experience devoid of trackers if you purchase an ad-free or so-called "Premium" subscription.
In the case of personalized ads, Google and third parties may place and read cookies or tracking pixels on David Gross' users' browsers or use web beacons and advertising identifiers to collect information as a result of ad serving.
David Gross does not send or store your location data off to the server-side unless necessary (i.e. for setting up earthquake alerts, your coarse or precise location must be known and stored server-side, but not with a personal identifier, rather a notification token that cannot be linked to your identity). In those specific cases, an in-app pop-up will describe the express purpose and degree of the location sharing.
David Gross does not use your device location data for anything other than the specific app service.
David Gross does not share the location data you sent to his servers or stored at his servers with any third parties.

Starting August 15, 2022, Google is expanding ad-serving protections for teens globally. As such, people above the digital age of consent but under 18 years of age ("teens") will have ads personalization disabled in both Google AdMob and Google Adsense.
