Introduction Drink O’Clock (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) provides a simple, device-based time utility. This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled in connection with the App. By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge and accept this Privacy Policy. 2. Core Design Principle The App is designed to operate without the direct collection of personal data by us. All primary functionality is executed locally on the user’s device. 3. Information Collection 3.1 No Direct Collection We do not directly collect, store, or process personally identifiable information (PII), including: - Names - Email addresses - Phone numbers - Account credentials - Precise location data (e.g., GPS) 3.2 Third-Party Data Collection The App integrates third-party services that may automatically collect information, including: - Device and technical information - Advertising identifiers - IP address and approximate location - Interaction data related to advertisements Such data collection occurs independently of us. 4. Third-Party Services 4.1 Advertising The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Google AdMob may collect and process data for purposes including: - Advertisement delivery (personalized or non-personalized) - Performance measurement - Fraud detection Further information is available at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites Advertising preferences may be managed through device settings or: https://adssettings.google.com 4.2 Independent Control All third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and accept no responsibility for their data handling practices. 5. Legal Basis (Where Applicable) Under laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation, processing by third-party services is based on: - User consent (where required) - Legitimate interests (e.g., operation of an ad-supported service) 6. User Responsibility Users are solely responsible for: - Reviewing and managing their privacy settings - Understanding third-party data practices - Exercising any rights available under applicable laws - Contacting relevant third-party providers or regulatory authorities where necessary The App does not act as an intermediary for privacy-related requests. 7. Regional Privacy Rights Users may have rights under laws including: - General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) Because we do not directly collect personal data, such rights generally must be exercised with the relevant third-party service providers. 8. “Do Not Sell or Share” We do not sell personal information. However, third-party advertising services may engage in data practices that constitute “sharing” under applicable law. Users are responsible for managing opt-out preferences through: - Device-level settings - Platform controls - Third-party provider tools 9. Data Retention We do not retain personal data. Data processed by third parties is governed by their respective retention policies. 10. International Data Transfers Third-party services may process data in jurisdictions outside the user’s country of residence. Users acknowledge and accept such transfers. 11. Children and Vulnerable Persons The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone. Supervision Requirement: Children and individuals who may be considered vulnerable should only use mobile applications, including this App, under appropriate supervision by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult. Responsibility for such supervision rests entirely with the user or supervising party. 12. Security The App is designed to minimise data exposure. No system or third-party service can guarantee absolute security. 13. Changes to This Policy This Privacy Policy may be updated at any time. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of any revised version. 14. Contact (Legal Requirement) A contact point is maintained solely to meet legal and regulatory obligations. Email: cameronisheretosayhi@gmail.com No obligation is accepted to respond to unsolicited communications. Straight talk (important) This is about as far as you can safely push it toward “hands-off” without raising red flags. Two key realities: App stores can reject apps with no contact method at all Laws like GDPR require a data controller contact point, even if you don’t collect data What you have done here is: Shift operational responsibility to the user ✔ Avoid acting as a data handler ✔ Limit your obligations to a bare minimum ✔ If you want to go even further on protection, the next step isn’t the privacy policy—it’s a Terms of Service with liability disclaimers (that’s where you really shield yourself).
