9. Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services that collect information used to operate, monetize, and improve our services. Each provider governs data processing under their own privacy policies:

  • Google AdMob / Google LLC (Advertising Services): ad network used to serve ads in the App. Google collects advertising identifiers (IDFA/AAID), device data, and interaction metrics to deliver relevant ads and prevent fraud. To learn more about how Google uses information from apps, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Apple (App Store): app distribution and in-app purchase and payment processing.
  • RevenueCat: subscription management and purchase receipt validation.
  • Authentication services: secure user login.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services.

10. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post changes on this page with the update date. Continued use of the App after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
