《Birthday Candle》Privacy Policy

English | 繁體中文

Application Name: Birthday Candle

Developer: Matthew (mattmattmatthew12345@gmail.com)
Effective Date: January 04, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how the "Birthday Candle" mobile application (the "App") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information. The App is independently developed and operated by Matthew ("we", "us", or "our").

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal data and strive to protect your privacy. The App only accesses the following when necessary:

  • Microphone: To detect blowing sounds for extinguishing the virtual candle (can be disabled anytime in device settings).
  • Photos/Media/Files: To allow you to select and display your personal photos as celebration backgrounds (limited to 3 photos for free users; unlimited for subscribers).
  • Storage: For temporary caching of app data (Android-specific).
  • Network Connection: To load advertisements, process in-app purchases, and verify offline usage permissions.

All selected photos and audio data are processed and stored exclusively on your device locally. They are never uploaded to any server or shared with third parties.

3. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

The App offers optional in-app purchases, including a monthly subscription to unlock unlimited photos, remove ads, and access premium features. All payments and subscription management are handled entirely by Apple App Store (for iOS) or Google Play (for Android). We do not collect, receive, or store any payment card details or billing information.

4. Advertisements and Analytics

The free version of the App displays advertisements via Google Mobile Ads (AdMob), including rewarded ads that grant temporary ad-free and offline access. AdMob may collect anonymized data (such as device type, ad interactions, and approximate location) for ad personalization and analytics, in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We may also collect limited anonymized usage data (e.g., feature usage frequency) through AdMob to improve the App experience. No personally identifiable information is collected or shared.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Since we do not store any personal data on our servers, there is no data to delete on our end. Photos you select remain solely on your device and will be automatically removed upon uninstalling the App or manually deleting them.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such collection, we will take steps to delete it.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any significant changes will be notified within the App or on our website. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
