Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information the Halo Days iPhone app (“the app”) handles and why. The app is published by Foxdrobe (“we”, “us”). If you have a question, email support@foxdrobe.com.
The short version
- We don't run servers for the app, and we don't ask for your name, email or an account.
- Your days, plans, capsules, photos and settings are stored on your iPhone. The list of your days (without photos) is also backed up to your own iCloud account, which we can't access.
- The app shows ads from Google AdMob. Google collects some data to serve and measure those ads, as described below.
- Your advertising identifier is used only if you allow tracking. In the EU, UK and some US states, Google also asks for your consent to personalised ads.
Information stored on your device
The app saves the days you add (titles, dates, styles, reminders, plan steps and Time Capsule notes), the photos you choose for them, and your settings in the app's own storage on your iPhone, shared only with the app's own widgets. This information is never sent to us. Deleting the app deletes it.
iCloud backup
If you're signed in to iCloud, the app keeps a copy of your list of days (not photos) in Apple's iCloud key-value storage, tied to your Apple Account, so it can be restored on a new iPhone. It is stored by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy; we can't see it. Turn it off in iPhone Settings → [your name] → iCloud.
Reminders
Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. No server is involved, and nothing about them is sent to us.
Purchases
Halo Premium is bought through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment; we receive no payment details and only learn from Apple's StoreKit on your device whether Premium is unlocked.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app uses Google AdMob, provided by Google LLC, to show banner, full-screen and optional rewarded video ads. According to Google, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect:
| Data | Examples | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Device identifiers | Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking, and app-specific identifiers | Advertising, ad measurement, analytics |
| Approximate location | Estimated from your IP address | Advertising, analytics |
| Ad and app interaction | Ads shown, taps, video views, app launches | Advertising, analytics |
| Diagnostics | Crash logs and performance data such as launch time | Fixing problems, analytics, advertising |
Google's handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Your choices
- Tracking: after you add your first day, the app asks Apple's “Allow Tracking” question. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, ads still appear but aren't personalised with your advertising identifier. You can change this any time in iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Consent (EU, UK and where required by law): Google's consent form lets you accept or reject personalised advertising. Reopen it any time in the app under Settings → Privacy choices.
- Rewarded videos are optional: you choose whether to watch one.
Children
The app is a general-audience lifestyle app and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. Ads in the app are limited to Google's “parental guidance” content rating.
Data retention and deletion
We don't hold any of your data, so there's nothing for us to delete. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on your device. To manage or delete data held by Google, visit Google's data & privacy controls or contact Google.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or US state privacy laws), you may have rights to access, delete or object to the processing of your personal data, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising. Use the consent controls described above, or contact us and we'll help you reach Google where needed.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above.
