Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 22, 2026

Solo App Zone ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data transparently. This Privacy Policy applies to all mobile applications, tools, and services published by Solo App Zone on the Google Play Store and other authorized platforms.

By downloading, installing, or using any of our applications, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. General Principles of Data Collection

We believe in data minimization: our applications only collect or process data that is strictly necessary to deliver the features, security, and functionality you request. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

2. Information Processed Across Our Applications

Depending on the specific application you use and the features you interact with, our applications may process the following categories of information:

  • Birthday, Event & Reminder Information (Local-First Apps): For reminder and utility applications (such as WishMate / AI Birthday Reminder), information entered by you—including contact names, dates of birth, relationships, reminder notes, alarm preferences, custom ringtone selections, and optional phone numbers—is stored exclusively in private local storage on your device (using SharedPreferences and local application sandboxes). Solo App Zone does not transmit, host, or sync this personal contact database to any external servers.
  • Account & Authentication Information (Optional / Cloud-Enabled Apps): For applications that offer user accounts or cloud synchronization (e.g., Google Sign-In), we process authentication data such as your User ID (UID), Display Name, and Email Address. This information is used strictly for account management, authentication, and maintaining your in-app credits or subscription status across devices.
  • Photos, Media & Device Storage Access: Depending on the application:
    • Local Profile Photos & Card Export: For utility apps like WishMate, user-selected avatar photos remain stored strictly on your local device. If you use features that export milestone stats or greeting images to your gallery, the app requests storage/gallery permissions solely to save those graphics directly to your device's photo library. We do not upload or store these images on our servers.
    • Cloud-Processed Media: For applications providing cloud-based AI styling or computer vision, user-selected photos are transmitted over secure, encrypted channels (HTTPS/TLS) to deliver the requested output. We do not use your personal photos to train public machine learning models without your explicit consent.
  • In-App Purchases, Subscriptions & Billing Data: If an application provides premium subscriptions, consumable credit packs, or lifetime one-time unlocks, transactions are securely handled directly by Google Play In-App Billing. We do not collect or store your credit card or financial account numbers. We only process anonymized purchase verification tokens and product identifiers to deliver your purchased features and maintain entitlement status.
  • Device Permissions & Background Scheduling: Certain applications request system permissions strictly necessary to perform automated local tasks:
    • Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): To display timely reminder alerts on Android 13+.
    • Exact Alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM, USE_EXACT_ALARM): To trigger time-sensitive birthday alarms at the exact scheduled minute chosen by you.
    • Device Boot (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): To automatically re-schedule pending reminders and alarms when your device restarts.
    • Wake Lock & Vibration: To reliably sound alarms and vibrate as configured.
  • Device Identifiers & Application Integrity: Our applications may process non-personal device information, operating system version, and security attestation tokens (such as Google Play Integrity or Firebase App Check) to detect fraud, prevent bot abuse, verify app authenticity, and protect our backend services.
  • User-Initiated Backup & Local Storage: Our utility applications prioritize local-first storage on your device. Where optional user-initiated Google Drive backup is provided, data is stored in your private Google Drive account under your direct control and subject to Google's terms.
  • Diagnostics & Crash Reports: Non-personally identifiable diagnostic information and error logs may be processed ephemerally to monitor app stability, fix crashes, and ensure smooth operation.

3. Third-Party Services & SDKs

Our applications integrate trusted, industry-standard third-party developer services provided by Google and other infrastructure partners:

  • Google Generative AI / Gemini API (Google LLC): For applications offering AI-assisted text, message, or wish generation (such as WishMate), the app transmits minimal contextual prompt parameters (such as the recipient's first name, relationship tag, and turning age) securely via encrypted HTTPS/TLS to Google's Gemini API solely to generate the greeting in real time. This ephemeral processing does not create persistent user profiles. For details, visit Google's Privacy Policy.
  • WhatsApp (Meta Platforms, Inc.): For applications that offer direct messaging shortcuts, the application uses external deep links (whatsapp://send or https://wa.me/) to pass your pre-written greeting and recipient phone number to WhatsApp on your device. All communications occur directly within WhatsApp and are governed by WhatsApp's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Play Services: Core system APIs, Google Sign-In, and application integrity.
  • Google Play In-App Billing: Secure purchase, subscription, and lifetime entitlement processing.
  • Firebase (Google LLC): Cloud Firestore, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Storage, and Firebase App Check (used in cloud-enabled applications).
  • Google AdMob (for Ad-Supported Apps): Delivering banner, interstitial, or rewarded video advertisements (e.g. voluntary video ads watched to unlock AI generation features) in accordance with Google advertising policies.

Each third-party service processes information under its own privacy policy. For more information regarding Google services, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Data Security & Encryption

We implement standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your data. All communication between our applications and external APIs (such as the Gemini API or Google Play Billing) is encrypted in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS). Where sensitive keys or credentials are stored locally on your device, Android Keystore-backed encrypted storage (via EncryptedSharedPreferences) is utilized to prevent unauthorized access.

5. User Accounts & Data Deletion Rights

In full compliance with Google Play Developer Policies and global data protection standards, users have the right to delete their data at any time, depending on the application architecture:

  • Local-First / Standalone Applications (No Account Required): For applications that operate without user accounts (such as WishMate / AI Birthday Reminder), all your data remains on your physical device. You have complete, direct control over your records:
    • You can edit or delete any individual birthday, contact, note, or reminder directly within the app at any time.
    • You can permanently erase all stored data and preferences by navigating to your Android device Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear Data, or simply by uninstalling the application.
  • Cloud-Enabled Applications (With User Accounts): For any of our applications that require or support user accounts:
    • In-App Deletion: An in-app account deletion feature is provided directly inside the app under Settings > Delete Account. Using this option immediately and permanently purges your account profile, stored cloud files, and associated records.
    • Web Deletion Requests: If you have uninstalled the app or lost access to your device, you can submit a deletion request via our dedicated deletion URL or by emailing us directly at soloappzonesupport@gmail.com. Web requests are verified and processed within 48 to 72 hours.
  • Data Retained: Where required by statutory law or security policies, limited anonymized records (such as financial purchase tokens for tax/accounting audits) may be retained for the minimum statutory period.

6. Children's Privacy

Our applications are designed for a general audience and are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately, and we will take prompt steps to delete that information.

7. Advertising & Analytics

For applications that display advertisements (including rewarded video ads used to unlock features), advertising partners such as Google AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID) to serve non-personalized or personalized ads. You can manage or reset your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings under Settings > Google > Ads.

8. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • The right to access and receive a copy of your personal data.
  • The right to rectify inaccurate information.
  • The right to request the erasure of your personal data ("Right to be Forgotten").
  • The right to restrict or object to the processing of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at soloappzonesupport@gmail.com.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our applications, legal requirements, or developer policies. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
