GDPR Consent (European Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, we will present a consent dialog (powered by Google's User Messaging Platform) before serving personalized ads. You can manage your consent preferences at any time in the app's Settings.

We take the security of your data seriously:

• The local database uses SQLite with standard encryption protections
• No countdown data is transmitted to external servers
• Export data (JSON) is generated locally and shared only when you explicitly choose to export

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us at the email below and we will take steps to remove that information.

European Users (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you are protected under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The only third-party service that processes data in connection with our app is Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers and ad interaction data for advertising purposes. Google acts as a data controller for this data.

Your GDPR rights regarding AdMob's data processing:

• Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw consent for ad personalization at any time through the consent dialog within the app, or by going to your device's ad settings
• Right to Object: You can deny tracking when prompted by the App Tracking Transparency dialog
• Right to Erasure / Access / Portability: Since we do not store any personal data, these rights apply to Google's data collection. You can manage your data with Google directly at Google Privacy Settings

California Users (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you are protected under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

We do not collect, sell, or share your personal information. We do not store any personal data on our servers. Ad-related data processed by Google AdMob for personalized advertising may constitute "sharing" under the CCPA. You can opt out by denying tracking in the consent dialog or adjusting your iOS ad settings.

10. Notifications

Dayspark uses local notifications only (not remote push notifications). These may include:

• Countdown event reminders (e.g., "1 day before")
• Celebration alerts when an event arrives ("Today!")

You can customize reminders per event during creation/editing, or disable all notifications in your device's notification settings. No notification data is sent to external servers.

11. International Data Transfers

Your app data remains on your device. However, data shared with Google AdMob (device identifiers, ad interactions) may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where Google operates. These transfers are governed by Google's data processing terms and comply with applicable data protection regulations.
