Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 16, 2026

1. About this policy

PhabletApps is operated by Mihai Dumitru in Romania, who is responsible for the personal information described here. This policy covers phabletapps.ro, our apps and related support. Contact us at AppsSmartRO@gmail.com.

Features vary between services. Account, synchronization, purchase and other online features apply only where offered and used; their description does not mean every app currently provides them. We explain additional or materially different processing before it begins. This policy does not authorize future processing by itself, and using a service is not consent to optional tracking.

2. Information we use and why

  • Accounts and sign-in, where offered: name, email address, account or sign-in-provider identifier, authentication/session information and optional profile details, to create and secure your account. Information may come from you or your chosen sign-in provider. Required fields and the consequences of not supplying them are explained at collection.
  • Saved content and preferences: app progress, creations, saved items, interests and settings. Some apps keep these only on your device. Content is associated with an online account or synchronized only where that feature is offered and used. Local saving alone does not send your content to us.
  • Local age checks, where offered: an optional age or birth-date entry is processed on your device to apply age-appropriate privacy safeguards. In this local flow, the birth date is not saved or sent to us or third parties; only the resulting eligibility status is held in memory for the current player session. Skipping keeps optional advertising and analytics integrations disabled and leaves every educational mode available. Other age-checking arrangements, if offered, are explained before collection.
  • Support: your name, email address, subject, message and any attachments you choose to send, to answer inquiries and resolve problems. The website contact form delivers messages through Google Gmail. Avoid sending passwords, payment details or unnecessary personal information.
  • Purchases, where offered: product and transaction identifiers, purchase/subscription status and relevant account identifiers, to deliver, restore and validate entitlements. Apple App Store or Google Play processes store payments; we do not receive your full payment-card details.
  • Notifications, where offered: device push tokens and notification preferences, to send notifications you choose to enable. Manage permissions in app or device settings.
  • Recommendations, where offered: selected interests, categories, authors and relevant content may be processed by a recommendation or AI service to select content for you. We explain any additional personal information involved before collection; describing this feature does not authorize unrelated AI training on your private content.
  • Operation and security: IP addresses, requested pages, browser/device information, request times and error information, to deliver services, diagnose problems and prevent abuse. The contact form uses an IP-based request limit and a short-lived security challenge cookie, separately from optional analytics.
  • Analytics, where enabled and permitted: page or screen views, feature interactions and technical diagnostics, to understand and improve services. Optional analytics requires consent where applicable. We do not deliberately include support-message contents, names or email addresses in website analytics events.
  • Advertising, where enabled and permitted: IP-derived approximate location, cookie/device/app identifiers, ad interactions and diagnostics may be processed to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud and personalize advertising where allowed. Non-personalized ads can still involve personal data.

Read-aloud uses your browser or operating system's speech service; voice downloads and network processing depend on the selected engine and settings. Exports and sharing send the selected file or content to your chosen destination. Device backups may include app data under your platform account's settings. Those services have their own privacy practices.

3. Website cookies and privacy choices

Our website uses Google Analytics with consent controls and Google AdSense on selected product and substantive guide/tool pages. Home, contact and legal pages do not load the AdSense advertising script. Google's separate consent script can load on every page.

The website remembers light/dark theme in browser local storage. The contact challenge cookie expires after approximately ten minutes. Google's consent service stores your choices. Analytics and advertising may use cookies such as _ga, __gads, __gpi or IDE, depending on configuration and choices; lifetimes depend on provider settings and browser controls.

Analytics and advertising storage, advertising user data and personalization start denied in Google Consent Mode. Google's configured message generally applies in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland. Website Google Analytics loads only after an explicit analytics-storage grant. Without that grant, including where no applicable message is available, it does not load or send measurement requests, including cookieless measurement pings.

Google's consent script and, on eligible pages, AdSense may contact Google before you choose. Denied storage does not mean no network requests or personal-data processing occurs. Advertising storage and personalization depend on applicable choices and configuration.

Use Privacy & cookie settings in the footer to reopen the message where available. Withdrawal stops our analytics events; reload to remove an already loaded analytics runtime. Browser controls can clear or block cookies and local storage, also removing preferences. Where an app offers optional advertising or analytics, its applicable privacy controls and permissions will be explained in the app.

See how Google uses information from sites and apps, Google's Privacy Policy and Google Ad Settings.

4. Legal bases

For EEA/UK users, we rely on consent for optional tracking where required; providing a requested service for account, synchronization or purchase functions where applicable; legitimate interests for proportionate operation, support, security and age-appropriate privacy safeguards, balanced against your rights and especially children's interests; and legal obligations for applicable compliance and record-keeping. You can withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. We do not make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.

5. Who receives information

We use technology providers for specific functions, sharing information needed for that function:

  • Hosting, database and authentication providers: connection/security information and, for online features, account details, sessions and content needed to host, secure and synchronize the service.
  • Email and support providers: contact details, messages and attachments to deliver correspondence and support.
  • App stores and purchase-management providers: transaction, product, account and entitlement information for billing, validation and restoration.
  • Notification providers: device tokens, delivery information and notification content to deliver requested notifications.
  • Analytics and diagnostic providers: permitted usage, device and error information to measure performance and investigate problems.
  • Advertising and consent providers, including Google: applicable identifiers, device/ad interactions and privacy choices to manage consent, serve/measure advertising and prevent fraud.
  • Recommendation and AI-processing providers: applicable interests and relevant content to provide a recommendation feature you use.

These providers operate in the cloud-software, communications, payments and advertising sectors and may process data within or outside the EEA as explained below. Their roles vary by service; app stores and advertising providers can also process data independently. Contact us for relevant recipient details, including specific recipients where required by law. We may disclose information when legally required or necessary to protect rights, and provide required notice if responsibility for a service changes.

We do not sell support messages or private app saves for money or provide their contents to advertising services. Advertising disclosures can nevertheless count as a “sale” or “sharing” under laws covering advertising across services. We do not claim advertising-related sharing never occurs.

6. Retention and deletion

We retain personal information for its stated purpose and applicable legal requirements. Support correspondence is kept while addressing an inquiry and for up to three years afterwards, unless a legal obligation or dispute requires longer. Security records are kept as needed to investigate abuse and protect services. Analytics and advertising retention depends on provider settings, purpose and applicable requirements, rather than a single universal period.

Local app data remains until removed through available controls, browser/device settings or uninstalling, subject to backups/restoration. Exports, shared copies and backups require separate removal. We cannot remotely erase device-only saves or another person's copies.

Where accounts are offered, applicable notices explain account/content retention, deletion controls and lawful retained exceptions before collection. We delete or anonymize information under our control when no longer needed, subject to legal requirements. Store records and independently held provider information may require requests to those providers.

7. Children and younger users

Some apps include learning areas for children and teenagers. Optional third-party advertising and analytics integrations are disabled in those child/teen learning areas. Where the local age check described above is offered, adult eligibility is assessed separately from learning-mode choice: a minor, skipped or unknown result keeps these integrations disabled in every educational mode. An adult result does not itself give consent to optional tracking. Selecting a learning mode does not establish age or verify identity. This is not a statement that every app is intended for children or that every service has age-separated modes or a local age check. Ordinary hosting requests still occur when opening a web app; the general product website has its separate advertising behavior described above.

Parents and guardians should supervise sharing, external links, messages and device services. Online features for children require age-appropriate information, safeguards and parental authorization where legally required before processing begins. Contact us if you believe a child has improperly supplied personal information, so we can investigate and delete it where appropriate.

8. Rights and requests

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or information about processing; object to legitimate-interest processing or direct marketing; and withdraw consent. California rights, where applicable, include opting out of sale/sharing, limiting qualifying sensitive-information uses and equal treatment when exercising rights.

Email AppsSmartRO@gmail.com with the service and request, without passwords. Authorized representatives may contact us. Proportionate verification may be needed before releasing or deleting information. We respond within applicable periods, generally one month under GDPR or 45 days under CCPA, explaining permitted extensions or exceptions.

Use the consent controls above for browser-specific choices. The website does not currently implement its own Global Privacy Control signal handler; do not assume that signal alone changes every Google service's behavior. Contact us about a sale/sharing objection or unavailable control. You may complain to your local supervisory authority, including Romania's ANSPDCP.

9. International processing, security and updates

We operate from Romania; service providers may process data elsewhere, including outside the EEA/UK. Where required, transfers need an applicable adequacy decision or suitable safeguards such as approved contractual clauses. Contact us for details and information on obtaining relevant safeguards for your service. Using a service is not itself consent to an otherwise unlawful transfer.

We use HTTPS, access controls and safeguards appropriate to the information and risks. No service or device guarantees absolute security. Material new processing will be explained before it begins where required, with updated notices, necessary permissions or consent and applicable deletion controls. Continued use does not replace required consent.
