Ad Personalization
Last updated: May 13, 2026
This app uses Google AdMob to show advertisements. Advertising helps keep the core experience free. This page explains what "personalized" versus "non-personalized" advertising means, how to make a choice, and how to change it later.
Why You See Ads
Advertising is the operator's primary way of covering the cost of building and maintaining this app. Where an ad-removal in-app purchase is available, buying it disables ads entirely for the same store account.
Personalized vs Non-Personalized
A personalized ad is selected based on a profile of likely interests, derived from your device's resettable advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, AAID on Android) and your interaction history with apps in Google's network. A non-personalized ad is selected without such a profile; it relies only on contextual signals such as the app you are using, coarse geo-location derived from IP address, and the time of day. Both types of ads serve impression and click measurement to detect fraud.
Your Choice
In regions that require prior consent for personalized advertising - the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland - the app presents Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent dialog on first launch. You can choose to allow personalized ads, allow only non-personalized ads, or change your choice later. In other regions, ads are personalized by default unless you opt out using one of the controls described below.
EU / EEA, UK, and Switzerland (GDPR + ePrivacy)
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the UK GDPR, or the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) applies, personalized advertising relies on your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). The UMP dialog records your consent through IAB Europe's Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF). You may withdraw consent at any time using the in-app Ad Personalization link or this page; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
iOS - App Tracking Transparency
On iOS 14 and later, Apple requires an App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt before an app can access the IDFA for cross-app or cross-site tracking. If you decline the ATT prompt, the app will not request a personalized advertising identifier and AdMob will serve only non-personalized ads. You can change your ATT decision at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, or by toggling the per-app permission for this app.
California - Do Not Sell or Share
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA / CPRA), California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, which can include the use of an advertising identifier for cross-context behavioral advertising. To opt out, select non-personalized advertising via the in-app Ad Personalization link, or reset the advertising identifier on your device as described below. The operator does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
Non-Personalized Ads
When you choose non-personalized ads (or when consent is not given in regions that require it), AdMob serves ads without using a behavioral profile. These ads still use limited signals - IP-derived approximate location, page or app context, and the technical fields necessary for delivery and fraud prevention - but do not use the resettable advertising identifier for interest targeting.
Resetting Your Advertising Identifier
You can reset the advertising identifier on your device at any time. Resetting starts a new identifier and disconnects future ads from your past activity: - Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Reset advertising ID. You can also choose Delete advertising ID to disable interest-based ads entirely. - iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track", or Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → reset your Advertising Identifier. On devices where the advertising identifier has been deleted or reset, AdMob serves only non-personalized ads.
Children
Behavioral or interest-based advertising is not delivered to users identified as children under the age limits set by applicable law (13 in the United States under COPPA, 14 in the Republic of Korea, 16 in the European Union under GDPR Art. 8, subject to lower thresholds set by individual member states). This app is not directed at children. Where a user has indicated they are a child, ads served - if any - will be non-personalized and subject to the platform's families policy.
Changing Your Choice Later
Your consent or opt-out choice is persistent. To re-open the UMP consent dialog or to change your selection, use the in-app Ad Personalization link (this page) or reset the advertising identifier on your device. Changes take effect on the next ad request.
