Privacy Policy for Hand Tally Counter

Effective date: October 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Hand Tally Counter ("the App") handles information. The App is developed by Simple Tech Solution LLC. If you have questions, contact us at contact@simple-tech-solution.com.

1. Information You Create in the App

The App lets you create tally counters, increment/decrement them, and view a history of counts. This data (counter names, colors, icons, counts, and history records) is stored only on your device, using local app storage shared between the App and its widget/Lock Screen Live Activity. We do not operate a server, do not require an account, and never transmit this data off your device. Deleting a tally or uninstalling the App permanently removes this data.

2. Information Collected by Third-Party Advertising

The App is supported by ads served through Google AdMob, using Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to collect your consent. To show ads, these services may collect:

• A device advertising identifier (IDFA), when you allow tracking
• Ad interaction data (e.g., impressions, clicks) used for advertising purposes

This data is collected and processed by Google, not by us directly. You control this through:

• The consent form shown on first launch (EU/UK users, under GDPR), where you can choose how your data is used for ads
• Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, where you can deny tracking — the App remains fully functional either way, and no ads are personalized if you decline
• You can change your choice later in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking

For details on how Google handles this data, see Google's Privacy Policy and their advertising policies.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

The App does not collect your name, email, location, contacts, photos, or health data, and does not use any analytics or crash-reporting SDK of its own.

4. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

Because tally data never leaves your device, you control retention entirely: delete a counter in-app, or delete the App to remove all local data. There is no account or server-side data for us to delete on request.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this same URL with an updated effective date.
