Life TipsPrivacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how DL Technologies ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Life Tips mobile application for iPhone and iPad (the "App"). The App displays advertisements to support its free availability; a one-time Remove Ads purchase removes them. All tips are free. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices.

#1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information Collected Automatically

When you use our App, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device Information: Device model, iOS version, app version, and language settings
• Usage Data: App interactions, features used, session duration, and frequency of use
• Diagnostics: Crash logs and performance data
• Advertising Data: Limited information about ads shown or interacted with (see Section 3)
• Technical Data: IP address, time zone, and general location data (country/city level) derived from your IP address

1.2 Information You Provide

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the App. If you contact us for support, we may collect your email address and any information you choose to provide.

1.3 Content You Create on Your Device

You can create your own tips, mark favorites, organize them into groups, and set reminders. If you add a photo to a tip, you can take it with the camera or choose it from your photo library; the App asks for camera or photo access only when you use those features. Your tips, photos, favorites, reminders, and streaks are stored locally on your device and are not sent to us.

1.4 Notifications

If you allow notifications, the App schedules local reminders and tip notifications on your device. We do not run a push-notification server and do not receive your notification token. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings.

1.5 Purchase Information

The App offers a one-time Remove Ads purchase processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment details or Apple ID. The App learns on your device, through Apple's StoreKit, whether the purchase has been completed.

#2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the App
• Recognize your one-time Remove Ads purchase
• Display and measure advertisements (for users who have not purchased Remove Ads)
• Analyze usage patterns, diagnose crashes, and optimize user experience
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Comply with legal obligations

#3. Advertising

Unless you have purchased Remove Ads, the App displays a banner advertisement through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device and usage information, including your IP address and information about the ad shown, to deliver, measure, and secure ads. Because the App is intended for users 18 and older, ads are not directed at children.

The App does not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission and does not access your device's Advertising Identifier (IDFA). Where you are located in a region that requires consent (for example the EEA, UK, or certain US states), Google's consent form is shown before any ad is requested, and you can review or change your choice at any time from the Ad Privacy Options row in the App's Settings. Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your region, your consent choice, and your device settings.

Your Advertising Choices:

• Consent: where required, use the consent form shown by the App and change your choice any time from Ad Privacy Options in the App's Settings
• iOS Tracking setting: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking lets you review tracking permissions for all apps
• Remove ads: once purchased, the App does not load the advertising SDK or request ads

Note: opting out of personalization does not mean you will see fewer ads, but the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests. See Google's Privacy Policy.

#4. Third-Party Services and Content

• Google AdMob — advertising (non-premium users only)
• Analytics and Crash Data (Google Firebase): We use Firebase Analytics, configured without advertising-identifier support, and Firebase Crashlytics. They receive an app-instance identifier, device model, iOS version, app version, language, approximate region (derived from IP address), crash logs, and basic usage events such as app opens and features used. We use this only to fix bugs and improve the App
• Apple App Store / StoreKit — the Remove Ads purchase
• Our content servers (cdn.dltechapps.com) — the App downloads translated tips when you choose a language. This request reveals your IP address and the language requested

#5. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information with:

• Advertising Partner: Google AdMob, to deliver and measure ads (unless you purchased Remove Ads)
• Analytics and Diagnostics Provider: Google Firebase
• App Store Provider: Apple, which processes your purchase
• Service Providers: Third parties that perform services on our behalf (hosting, customer support)
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

#6. Data Retention

Content you create stays on your device until you delete it or remove the App. We retain analytics and diagnostic data for as long as necessary to provide and improve the App, typically up to 24 months unless a longer period is required by law.

#7. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

#8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than Mozambique. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

#9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to access the information we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of your information
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing
• The right to withdraw consent to personalized advertising

Deleting the App removes the data stored on your device. To exercise your rights regarding data held by us or our providers, contact us at support@dltechapps.com.

#10. Age Restriction

The App is intended solely for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from someone under 18, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

#11. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services (such as the App Store). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

#12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
