Information We Collect
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Countdown App (link to App Store), which now includes the use of third-party tools, such as Appodeal.com for Advertisements with optional app tracking, and Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics for anonymous reports and statistics of user usage and error reports to enhance the user experience and app stability. We respect and comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
By stating that we do not collect any content created within the App, including the countdown events you create, and the settings you choose, we are clarifying that we do not collect any personal information or any information that can be used to identify you or your countdown events. We take the privacy and security of our users seriously, and we will continue to take all necessary steps to protect your information and ensure your privacy.
