Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to all mobile applications developed and published by DigiMonk Apps ("DigiMonk Apps," "we," "us," or "our"), across Google Play and any other platform where our apps are distributed. We refer to any of our applications individually as "the App" and collectively as "our Apps." Because this single policy covers our whole portfolio, it describes data practices that may apply to a given app — an app only engages in a practice described below if it actually includes the corresponding feature (for example, an app with no ads does not use the advertising practices described in Section 7).

By downloading, installing, or using any of our Apps, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide to us

Where an app offers an account, you may provide:

• Email address and password, if you sign up directly.
• Basic profile information from Google Sign‑In (name, email, profile ID), when you choose that option.
• A display name or username you choose within the app.
• Preferences and in‑app settings (e.g., chosen categories, difficulty, notification settings).
• Anything you send us directly, such as support requests or feedback emails.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as financial account numbers, government ID numbers, or health data) through our Apps.

1.2 Information collected automatically

• Device information: device model, OS version, language/region, and identifiers provided by the OS or by Firebase SDKs.
• Usage data: screens visited, features used, timestamps, and interactions with in‑app elements.
• Log and diagnostic data: crash reports and performance logs used to keep the app stable.

1.3 App content and progress data

Most of our Apps let you track progress through content — for example, lessons completed, quiz scores, streaks, experience points (XP), unlocked achievements, saved or bookmarked items, or leaderboard standing. For guest use, this data is stored locally on your device (e.g., via Android DataStore or similar local storage). If you sign in, certain progress data may also be stored in Firebase Firestore so it can sync across your devices.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Provide and operate the App — run its core features, track progress, and manage any lives/stars/credits it uses.
• Sync your progress across devices when you're signed in.
• Show leaderboards or shared/social features, where an app includes them.
• Maintain security and prevent abuse, cheating, spam, or misuse.
• Analyze usage, fix bugs, and improve features and performance.
• Respond to support requests and communicate important notices (e.g., changes to this policy).
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the UK, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract — to provide the App and its core features.
• Legitimate interests — to improve our Apps, prevent fraud, and maintain security.
• Consent — for optional features such as personalized communications or ads, where applicable. You may withdraw consent at any time via in‑app settings, where available, or by contacting us.

4. Storage and Retention

4.1 Local storage (guest use)

Where an app supports guest use, progress and preferences are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data may permanently delete this information.

4.2 Cloud storage (signed‑in use)

Where an app offers accounts, we store account and progress data using Firebase services (such as Firebase Authentication and Firestore). We retain this data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you request account deletion or delete the app account, we delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, subject to legal retention obligations.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in these situations:

• Service providers: third parties who help operate our Apps (e.g., Google Firebase for hosting, authentication, database, analytics, and crash reporting) under confidentiality obligations.
• Public in‑app features: where an app includes a leaderboard or shared profile, your chosen username and related stats may be visible to other users of that app.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy.
• With your consent: for any other purpose you explicitly agree to.

6. Third‑Party Services

Our Apps may rely on the following categories of third‑party services. Only the services actually integrated into a given app apply to that app:

• Firebase Authentication — email/password and Google Sign‑In.
• Firebase Firestore — storing app content, progress, and any leaderboard data.
• Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics — usage analytics and crash diagnostics.
• Ad networks / rewarded video providers (optional, app‑dependent) — to offer rewarded ads in exchange for in‑app perks.

These providers may collect information sent by your device, such as device identifiers and usage data, under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing:

• Google Firebase Privacy & Security: firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Google Privacy Policy (for Google Sign‑In): policies.google.com/privacy

7. Ads and Rewarded Videos

Where an app offers rewarded features (for example, watching an ad for extra in‑app currency or an extra life), ads are provided by third‑party ad networks. These partners may use cookies, mobile identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, detect fraud, and provide aggregated reporting. You can generally control ad personalization at the device level (for example, Android's "Opt out of Ads Personalization"). Turning this off does not remove ads but may make them less relevant.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Apps are designed for a general audience and are not specifically directed at children under the age required by local law (e.g., 13 in many regions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without verifiable parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including secure (HTTPS) communication where applicable, Firebase's built‑in security controls and Firestore security rules, and limiting access to personal data to those who need it to operate or improve our Apps. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection law, including the EU/UK GDPR, Japan's APPI, and the Australian Privacy Principles:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction / rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion / erasure — request deletion of your data, subject to legal obligations.
• Restriction or objection — object to, or request restriction of, certain processing.
• Data portability — request your data in a structured, machine‑readable format.
• Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint — with your local data protection authority (EU/UK), or, in Australia, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

You can exercise some of these rights directly in an app (for example, by signing out, editing your profile, or deleting your account where that option exists). For anything else, contact us using the details in Section 13. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

11. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, including on servers operated by Google Firebase. By using our Apps, you consent to this transfer. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses for GDPR purposes and compliance with APPI and Australian Privacy Principles requirements for cross‑border disclosures.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our app portfolio, or applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes may also be announced via an in‑app message. Continuing to use our Apps after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
