Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how LAP Tech Studio ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the CountPal mobile application ("the App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Data You Provide

CountPal is designed to work offline. All counter data, groups, history entries, and preferences are stored locally on your device. We do not require account creation, and we do not collect your name, email address, or any other personal information directly.

1.2 Data Collected Automatically

The following data may be collected automatically through third-party services integrated into the App:

• Device information: device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and language settings.
• Usage data: app opens, screen views, feature usage patterns, and session duration.
• Crash and performance data: crash logs, stack traces, and performance metrics to help us identify and fix issues.
• Advertising data: ad interactions, advertising identifiers (IDFA/GAID), and limited demographic information inferred by ad networks.
• Purchase data: subscription status and transaction identifiers (processed by RevenueCat; we do not have access to your payment details).

2. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

3. How We Use Information

We use the collected information to:

4. Advertising

CountPal displays ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may use device identifiers and usage data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads depending on your consent preferences. You can manage your ad personalization settings through your device's privacy settings.

Users with an active subscription may have ads removed as part of their subscription benefits.

5. Data Storage and Security

All counter data is stored locally on your device using encrypted local storage. We do not transmit your counter data, history, or preferences to any server. If you uninstall the App, all local data is permanently deleted.

Data collected by third-party services (analytics, crash reports, ad interactions) is stored on their respective servers according to their own data retention policies.
