Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Omar Farooq Shah ("we," "us," or "our") handles information for the Birthday Countdown: CandlesUp mobile application. We do not directly collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or phone number on our own systems; third-party services integrated with the app may collect limited data as described below. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a transparent user experience.

Information Collection and Use
We do not directly collect, store, or share personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
- App Data: Any information entered into the app (e.g., names, birth dates, photos) is processed and stored locally on your device only. We do not transmit, store, or share this content with our servers.
- Local storage: Nothing you enter is sent to us; it stays on your device unless a third-party service collects limited technical or usage data as described below.
However, our app uses third-party services (such as advertising and analytics providers) that may collect certain information automatically, including:
- Device information
- IP address
- Advertising identifiers
- App usage data
This data is used to provide and improve services such as personalized ads and app analytics.

Third-Party Services
Advertising and Consent
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements.
For users in certain regions (such as the European Economic Area and the UK), we request your consent before showing personalized ads, in accordance with GDPR.
You can choose whether to receive personalized or non-personalized ads. You may also change your consent preferences at any time via your device settings.
App Tracking Transparency (iOS)
On iOS devices, we may request permission to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites using Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.
If you allow tracking, an advertising identifier (IDFA) may be used to deliver personalized ads. If you deny tracking, ads will still be shown but may be less relevant (non-personalized).
You can change your tracking preference at any time in your device settings: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking
We use PostHog for analytics. PostHog may collect anonymized usage data such as app interactions, device information, and general usage statistics. This data does not directly identify you.

Security
App data you enter stays on your device and is not stored on our servers. Third-party providers may process limited data on their own systems as described in this policy. We value your trust and take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to:
- Access your data
- Request deletion of your data
- Withdraw consent at any time
To exercise these rights, you may contact us or review the privacy policies of our third-party providers.
