Privacy Policy

doobee.us (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the deeside mobile application and this website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use deeside and our website, and the choices you have. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our services.

Summary at a Glance

• We collect account information you provide (like email) and the decision content you enter in the app.
• We use third‑party services (Firebase, Google Mobile Ads, and Google AI) to run the app, fix bugs, and show ads.
• Ads may use device identifiers and other signals for ad personalization and measurement, which can be considered “tracking” across apps and sites.
• You can manage permissions and ad tracking preferences in your device settings and, where applicable, through in‑app choices.
• You can request access or deletion of your data by contacting us at doobeeus.support@protonmail.com.

What We Collect

Information you provide

• Account details: email address (if you sign up with email/password); name information from Apple if you choose “Sign in with Apple.”
• Decision content: titles, descriptions, options, ratings, deadlines, and other details you enter in the app.

Automatically collected data

• Device information and diagnostics: device model, OS version, crash logs, and performance data (via Firebase Crashlytics).
• Identifiers: app installation identifiers and, where permitted, advertising identifiers (e.g., IDFA).
• Approximate location: inferred by ad networks (e.g., via IP) for ad delivery.

Content sent to AI services

• When you ask deeside to generate suggestions, we send the relevant prompt/description to our AI provider (Google AI via Firebase AI) to produce the response.

We do not request or access your precise GPS location, photos, camera, microphone, contacts, or health data.

How We Use Your Information

Provide and improve the app

• Create and manage your account, sync your decision content, and deliver core features.
• Fix bugs, analyze crashes, and improve performance.

AI features

• Generate suggestion content in response to prompts you provide.

Advertising and measurement

• Show ads and measure their effectiveness using Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). Depending on your device settings and choices, ads may be personalized.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK only)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, we process:

• Account and app content to perform our contract with you (provide the app).
• Diagnostics and performance data under our legitimate interests (app stability and improvement).
• Advertising identifiers and personalized ads with your consent where required (e.g., App Tracking Transparency on iOS).

Sharing Your Information

We share information with service providers that help us operate the app:

• Firebase (Google) for authentication, database (Firestore), and crash reporting.
• Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) for advertising and measurement.
• Google AI (via Firebase AI) to generate suggestion content.

These providers process data on our behalf or as independent controllers where applicable. We do not sell your personal information. In some jurisdictions (like California), certain advertising practices may be considered “sharing” for cross‑context behavioral advertising. See “Your Choices” below.

Data Retention

• Account and decision content: kept while your account is active. If you delete your account or request deletion, we will delete or anonymize your data within a reasonable period, subject to legal obligations and backup timelines.
• Crash logs and diagnostics: retained for a limited period to investigate and address issues.
• Advertising data: retained per our ad partners’ policies.

Your Choices and Rights

Access, correction, deletion

• You may request a copy of your data, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion by contacting doobeeus.support@protonmail.com.

Account deletion

• You can delete your account in the app (if available) or by emailing doobeeus.support@protonmail.com. This will remove your decision content and account data from our active systems (subject to legal/backup constraints).

Advertising and tracking preferences

• iOS: Manage ad tracking and App Tracking Transparency in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and reset your advertising identifier.
• Personalized ads: Where available, you can opt out of personalized ads through device settings. Ads may still appear but will be less relevant.
• Email communications: If we send service emails, you can unsubscribe where applicable (note that important transactional messages may still be sent).

If you are in the EEA/UK, you may have additional rights under GDPR (e.g., to object or restrict processing, and data portability). Contact us at doobeeus.support@protonmail.com to exercise these rights.

Children’s Privacy

deeside is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

International Transfers

We may process and store information on servers located outside your country (including the United States). Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your information.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Third‑Party Links

Our website or app may link to third‑party sites or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new “Effective date” and, if changes are material, provide additional notice.
