App Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all mobile applications published by Forge Syntax under our developer accounts on the Apple App Store and Google Play (the "Apps"). It explains what data our Apps do and do not handle.

Our Apps are designed to work without requiring you to create an account or provide personal information to us.

We do not collect, sell, or share personally identifiable information. Our Apps do not ask for your phone number, contacts, precise location, or other personal identifiers in order to function.

• No account or sign-up is required to use the core features of our Apps.
• We do not maintain user profiles or build advertising identities from your activity.
• We do not sell or rent any data to third parties.

All data our Apps work with — including your settings, preferences, content, notes, and files — is stored locally on your device and stays under your control. We do not have access to this data, and it is not transmitted to our servers.

Removing an App, or using your device or operating system controls, permanently deletes the data associated with it on that device. We are unable to recover deleted App data.

Some of our Apps (such as sleep and dream tracking apps) record sleep-related information you provide or that is captured during use, including:

• Sleep schedules, bedtimes, and wake times you log
• Dream notes and journal entries you write
• Sleep quality ratings and mood scores you submit

This data is stored entirely on your device. We do not transmit, process, or have access to your sleep or health data on our servers. This data is not shared with advertisers or any third party.

Where an App integrates with Apple Health or Google Health Connect, any data written to or read from those platforms is governed by Apple's or Google's respective terms and privacy policies. You can revoke an App's access to Health data at any time from your device settings.

Camera and scanned images

Some of our Apps (such as Scanly) request access to your device's camera so you can scan codes or capture images. See the Scanly section below for how that app works. In general, the following applies when camera access is used:

• The camera is used only while you are actively scanning or capturing inside the App.
• Camera images are processed on your device, and anything an App saves from them is stored locally on your device.
• We do not upload your scans or images to our servers and we do not share them with advertisers or any third party. They are only shared if you choose to export or share them yourself.
• You can delete your scans at any time from within the App, or by removing the App.

Camera access is required only for scanning features. You can deny or revoke camera permission at any time in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera; Android: Settings → Apps → [App name] → Permissions). Revoking it does not affect features that do not need the camera.

Microphone

Some of our Apps request access to your device's microphone to enable optional features such as sleep sound recording or snore detection. The following applies when microphone access is used:

• Audio is recorded only when you explicitly activate a recording feature within the App.
• Audio processing (such as snore detection) is performed entirely on your device.
• We do not transmit raw audio recordings to our servers or to any third party.
• Audio recordings are stored locally on your device and can be deleted by you at any time from within the App.

Microphone access is entirely optional. You can deny or revoke microphone permission at any time in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone; Android: Settings → Apps → [App name] → Permissions). Revoking microphone access does not affect other App features.

Some Apps offer in-app purchases, including premium upgrades and subscriptions. All purchases are processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not receive or store your payment card details, billing address, or other payment information.

Purchases are tied to your Apple or Google account, so you can restore eligible purchases on your devices through the store's standard restore mechanism. Billing, renewals, and refunds are governed by the policies of the respective app store.

Some Apps are free and supported by advertising. These Apps use Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google LLC, to display ads. AdMob mediation may also serve ads from third-party advertising networks such as Unity Ads and others ("ad partners").

Ads are delivered by the Google Mobile Ads SDK and ad partner SDKs built into the App. These SDKs collect and process data directly under their own privacy policies; we do not receive data that identifies you personally, and we do not combine ad data with any other information about you.

Google's use of this data is described in the Google Privacy Policy and in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. Unity's practices are described in the Unity Game Player and App User Privacy Policy. More information about AdMob is available at support.google.com/admob.

To serve, measure, and improve ads and to prevent fraud, Google and our ad partners may collect the following data from Apps that show ads:

• Device and advertising identifiers, such as the Android Advertising ID, App Set ID, Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA, only if you allow tracking), and Identifier for Vendors (IDFV).
• IP address, which may be used to estimate your general (not precise) location.
• Device information, such as device model, operating system version, language, screen size, and network type.
• Ad interactions, such as ad impressions, taps, video views, and App launches.
• Diagnostic data, such as crash logs and SDK performance data.

Ads may be personalized based on your device's advertising identifier and activity, or non-personalized, meaning they are based on general context such as the App and your approximate location rather than your past behavior. Non-personalized ads still use data for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention.

• iOS: Apps ask for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before the IDFA is used for tracking. You can change this at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• Android: You can delete or reset your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalization, in your device's Settings (usually under Google → Ads or Privacy → Ads).
• Google account: You can manage the ads Google shows you at myadcenter.google.com.
• Remove ads: You can stop all advertising by upgrading to the premium (ad-free) version of an App where offered.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland: Before personalized ads are shown, Apps ask for your consent through Google's User Messaging Platform (a consent management platform certified under the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework). You can accept or decline, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the privacy settings option in the App. If you do not consent, you may still see non-personalized or limited ads.

United States: Under some U.S. state privacy laws (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act), sharing device identifiers with ad partners for personalized advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. You can opt out of personalized advertising using the device settings described above, through the App's privacy settings where offered, or by contacting us.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information. Because we do not hold personal data about you, requests about ad data are best directed to Google or the relevant ad partner, but you are welcome to contact us and we will help where we can.

We do not use analytics tools to identify you personally. Any analytics that occur are limited to aggregated or anonymized diagnostics. Platform-level crash and performance reporting may also be provided by Apple or Google under their respective terms.

Our Apps are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

Ads in our Apps are not intended to be personalized for children. Where we know or are told that a user is a child, ad requests are configured so that Google and our ad partners treat them as child-directed and do not serve personalized ads.

We apply reasonable technical measures appropriate to our Apps, including on-device storage for all personal and health data. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Continued use of an App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
