Privacy Policy

1. Who are we and what does this policy cover?

This policy covers every mobile app ("Apps") published by 0Appz. When we say "we", we mean 0Appz. When we say "you", we mean the person using an App.

We want you to know what data the Apps touch, why, and who else sees it. Read this page together with the Data Safety section on each Google Play listing and with our Terms of Use. The Apps cost nothing and are paid for by ads from other companies. You can find them here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=0Appz.

2. What data do the Apps collect?

The Apps gather some data so they can run, stay stable, and show ads. Here is the full list, with the reason for each item.

A. Data collected without you typing anything

Device and network details: phone model, Android version, browser type, and device identifiers such as the advertising ID. If you switch on notifications, we also get a push notification token.
Why: to make sure the App works on your phone, to keep it fast, and to keep it secure.
Usage and crash data: crash reports, diagnostics, and basic activity such as which features you open and how long a session lasts.
Why: to find bugs, measure performance, and make the App better.
IP address and rough location: your IP address tells us roughly where you are, such as your country or city. We never read your exact GPS position.
Why: to show content or ads that fit your region, and to understand where our users are.

B. Data you choose to give us

Contact details: if you write to us for help or to give feedback, we may keep your name, your email address, and what you wrote.
Why: to answer you and to improve the Apps.
Comments and posts: some Apps let you post comments, pick a username, or file a report. We store these together with a device or app identifier that helps us moderate and block abusers. Other users may be able to see your comments.
Why: to run the community features, to enforce our Terms of Use, and to stop abuse.

3. Who do we share data with, and why?

We do not sell your personal data for money. The Apps are free because of advertising, so our ad partners receive device identifiers and usage data to show and measure ads. Some laws, such as the CCPA, call that "sharing" for advertising. Data goes to others only in these cases:

Ad partners: ad networks that run ads in the Apps. They may collect device identifiers and usage data to pick ads, including personalized ones.
Analytics tools: services that show us how the Apps are used. They may see pseudonymous or combined usage data.
Service companies: firms that do work for us, such as sending push notifications or hosting data in the cloud. They may use your data only to do that work.
Fraud and invalid traffic checks: we and our ad partners may review and exchange usage and device data to spot fake clicks, fraud, and abuse.
Legal and safety needs: we may hand over information if we honestly believe the law requires it, if it protects our rights or anyone's safety, or if it helps us look into fraud.

These are the main outside companies we work with. Each name links to its own privacy policy:

Please take a minute to read their policies. They explain what those companies do with data.

An App does not necessarily use every company above. Check the store listing of each App to see what it collects. Google and its partners use device identifiers to show and measure ads. To learn more, read How Google uses information from apps that use its services.

4. What can you do about your data?

You have several choices, and you can use them at any time.

Stop collection: uninstall the App. Nothing more is collected after that.
Turn off personalized ads: change your phone's settings. On Android go to Settings → Google → Ads, then choose "Delete advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization". On iOS go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Give or withdraw consent (EEA, UK and elsewhere): where the law requires it, the App shows a consent form before personalized ads. You can change your answer later in the App's privacy or consent settings, where that option exists.
Ask us to delete your data: email contact@0appz.com and ask. We will answer within a reasonable time.
Opt out of sale or sharing (US states): we do not sell personal data for money. To stop the sharing of your data for targeted (cross-context behavioral) advertising, use the phone controls above or the App's consent settings, or email contact@0appz.com. If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law, you can also ask to see, correct, or delete your data. If we refuse, you can appeal by replying to our decision.
Remove your comments: use the delete option in the App if there is one. Otherwise email contact@0appz.com with the App name and your username. We hide the content and then delete it. We keep only the records we must keep for safety, fraud prevention, or legal reasons.
How fast we reply: we answer verified requests within 30 days, or 45 days where California law allows it. Sometimes we answer sooner because the law says so. We may ask you to prove who you are. We usually hold no names or accounts, so we cannot act on a request we cannot connect to you.
No penalty: if you use your rights, we will not block you from the Apps or treat you worse.
Agents and complaints: someone can make a request for you as your authorized agent. If you live in the EEA or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Do Not Track: the Apps are mobile apps and do not react to browser "Do Not Track" signals. Use the phone controls described above instead.

5. How long do we keep data, and how do we protect it?

We keep the data you give us while you use the App and for a fair period afterward. Data collected automatically is kept in combined form for up to 24 months. We protect data with reasonable, commonly used measures. No system is perfectly safe, so we cannot promise absolute security.

Legal bases (EEA/UK): if the GDPR applies to you, we rely on your consent (for example for personalized ads), on our legitimate interests (running and securing the Apps, improving them, and fighting fraud and abuse), and on legal duties.

Data moving abroad: our service companies and ad partners may handle data in other countries, some with different privacy laws than yours. Where the law demands it, they rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Third-party SDKs: advertising, analytics, and service SDKs inside the Apps collect data under their own policies. Sometimes they act as independent controllers. We cannot answer for what they do. We do pick partners that publish privacy terms, and we keep the Data Safety form on each store listing in line with this page.

Sensitive data: we do not try to collect exact location, contacts, photos, health, financial, or biometric data, or government ID numbers. Please do not send us any of it, and do not put it in comments.

If something goes wrong: if a breach exposes your personal data, we will tell you and the authorities whenever the law says we must.

6. What about children?

The Apps are not made for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from them, and we do not knowingly show them personalized ads. If you are a parent or guardian and your child sent us personal information, tell us right away. We will work to delete it.

7. Will this policy change?

Yes, it may. We update it when needed. Look at this page from time to time. A new version applies as soon as we post it.

8. How do you reach us?
