We may use analytics providers (e.g., Firebase/Google Analytics) to understand app usage and performance. We may also use Google AdMob to deliver ads; AdMob may collect identifiers and usage data to serve personalized ads where permitted. You can manage ad personalization via your device settings (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS).
Data Sharing
We may share your information with:

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. Where certain laws define “sale” or “sharing” of data more broadly (e.g., some U.S. state privacy laws), we honor applicable opt-out rights.
Children's Privacy
The Apps are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or higher age where required by law). If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us so we can delete it.

You have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal data
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Opt out of marketing communications
- Disable analytics or ad personalization (via device settings where supported)
- Request data portability (receive your data in a machine-readable format)
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@iysapps.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.
Data Security & Retention
We use reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information. We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law.
International Data Transfers
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement safeguards for such transfers.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide notice (e.g., in-app or via email). Continued use after changes take effect indicates acceptance.
