Privacy Policy

1) Introduction

DictaLux ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using our mobile application ("App"). This policy is written to be understandable for users and parents.

By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2) Summary

• No account required.
• Ads shown via Google AdMob. Children receive non‑personalized (contextual) ads.
• No data selling or renting.
• On‑device learning data. Progress and settings are stored on your device.

3) Information We Collect

• On‑device data: Your lessons, progress, and preferences are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to us.
• Support communications (optional): If you email us, we receive your email address and the message you send so we can help you.
• Advertising data (via AdMob): Google AdMob may collect device identifiers, app usage related to ads, and ad interaction information to deliver ads. For children, we request non‑personalized ads (NPA) and disable interest‑based targeting.
• Diagnostics (optional): If enabled by your device/OS, anonymous crash or performance information may be generated to improve stability. We do not link diagnostics to your identity.

4) Legal Bases (GDPR/UK‑GDPR)

• Performance of a contract: To provide core App features.
• Legitimate interests: To maintain and improve the App (e.g., security, performance, fraud prevention).
• Consent: For ad personalization where required. You can withdraw consent at any time from in‑App controls (if available) or device settings.

5) Advertising & Third‑Party Services (Google AdMob)

We display ads using Google AdMob. Depending on your region and choices, AdMob may process information such as device identifiers and ad interactions.

• Children: For users identified as under 13 (or when required by platform policies such as Google Play Families), we request non‑personalized ads and disable interest‑based advertising, remarketing, and personalized identifiers.
• Consent: Where required (e.g., GDPR regions), we may present a consent dialog for ad personalization. If you do not consent, you will receive non‑personalized ads.
• Manage choices: You can limit ad tracking in your device settings and at adssettings.google.com. You may also reset your device’s advertising ID.
• More information: Review Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and AdMob policies.

6) How We Use Information

• Provide core App features (lessons, progress, preferences).
• Show ads and measure basic ad performance.
• Maintain and improve performance, reliability, and accessibility.
• Respond to support requests and communicate important changes.
• Comply with applicable laws and protect the App and its users.

7) Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only as described here:

• Service provider: Google AdMob for displaying ads.
• Legal: When required by law or to protect rights and safety.
• Business transition: In case of merger, acquisition, or asset sale, we will ensure equal or stronger protections and notify users where appropriate.

8) Children’s Privacy

DictaLux is available to users of all ages, including children under 13. We take children’s privacy seriously and follow applicable laws such as COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and GDPR‑K (EU rules for children’s data).

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
• The App is designed to function without requiring children to submit personal information. If a child contacts us, we will seek parental permission before using or retaining any personal data.
• For children, ads delivered through AdMob are configured as non‑personalized and interest‑based targeting is disabled.
• If we learn that we collected a child’s personal information without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
• Parental rights: Parents/guardians may review, delete, or refuse further collection of their child’s information by contacting us at support@dictalux.com.

9) Your Rights & Choices

• Access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your information (where applicable by law).
• Withdraw consent to ad personalization (if previously given) via in‑App controls (if available) or device settings.
• Uninstall the App to remove on‑device data.
• Contact us for any privacy request: support@dictalux.com.

10) Data Storage, Retention & Security

• On‑device: Learning data remains on your device. You can reset data in‑App (if available) or by uninstalling.
• Support emails: Retained only as long as necessary to address your request, then deleted or anonymized.
• Security: We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, but no system is 100% secure.

11) International Transfers

AdMob and email processing may involve international transfers under the service providers’ safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable). See Google’s policy for details.

12) Do Not Sell or Share (CCPA/CPRA)

We do not sell your personal information. For California residents, to exercise rights under CCPA/CPRA, or to request that we do not share personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising, contact us at support@dictalux.com. AdMob settings can be managed via device settings and adssettings.google.com.

13) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when necessary. We will post the updated version here with a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes will be highlighted within the App or on this page.
