Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Christmas Countdown: Santa ("the App") is provided by the developer of this application ("we", "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how the App and this website handle information.

1. Summary

The App is designed to work primarily on your device. We do not require an account, and we do not operate a backend that collects personal profiles for countdown, Advent, wish list, or language features.

2. Information stored on your device

The App may store the following locally on your device (for example via on-device preferences storage):

  • Language preference
  • Daily reminder on/off and the time you chose (notifications are scheduled on this device only)
  • Advent calendar progress (which doors you have opened)
  • Your personal wish list entries

This information stays on your device unless you delete the App or clear its data. We do not upload wish list content or Advent progress to our own servers.

3. Information we do not collect ourselves

We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or location to use core features. The App does not include an analytics SDK.

4. Advertising

The App displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob (banner, interstitial, native, and app-open formats) on certain screens. Advertising partners may collect or process device identifiers and related technical data under their own privacy policies in order to deliver and measure ads.

Where ads are shown, we configure child-directed treatment and a G-rated maximum ad content rating where supported by the advertising SDK.

Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

5. Cookies on this website

This website (not the App) can use the Google Ads tag, provided by Google, to measure how well our ads for the App work, for example how many visitors came from an ad. It only does so if you choose Accept in the cookie banner. Until then, Google’s script is not loaded and no Google Ads cookies are set.

If you accept, Google may set cookies such as _gcl_au on this website and process technical data such as your IP address and browser details under Google’s privacy policy. These cookies are kept for up to 90 days.

Your choice is saved in your browser. You can change it at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page; declining removes the Google Ads cookies this website set.

6. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Data may be processed by:

  • Apple or Google for distribution, ratings, and store listings
  • Google (AdMob) when ads are shown in the App
  • Google (Google Ads) on this website, only if you accept cookies

7. Children's privacy

The App is intended for a general family audience, including children, and is designed without accounts or social features. Parents and guardians should review device and store privacy settings. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through a channel we control, contact us via the Support page or the App Store / Play Store listing support options and we will take appropriate steps.

8. Data retention and deletion

Local preferences and wish list data remain until you remove them in the App (where available), clear app storage, or uninstall the App.

9. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.

10. Contact
