Last Updated: 19th January, 2026

JoshTechApps ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle and protect your information when you use our mobile application, Love Messages (the "App"). The App provides a platform for users to browse, create, and share romantic messages, quotes, and images.

📊 Data Flow Transparency

Our Role: We enable third-party services that may collect anonymized data

Their Role: Third-party services independently collect and process device data

We do not collect, store, or process device data on our servers - this is handled directly by our partners according to their privacy policies.

🌟 Premium Features & Ad Removal

Ad-Free Experience: When you purchase any premium plan (6-month, 1-year, or lifetime), all advertisements are immediately removed from the App.

Data Benefits: Premium users enjoy enhanced privacy as no advertising data is collected or processed while using the premium version.

Purchase Processing: All premium purchases are handled securely through Google Play Store. We do not have access to your payment information.

1. Data Processing Overview

The following describes how data is processed when you use the App:

a. User-Generated Content

Custom Messages & Quotes: The App allows you to create and save custom love messages and quotes. These messages are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers unless you choose to share them.
Feedback: If you submit feedback through the App, we may receive your email address and feedback content when you choose to submit via email.
Photos and Media: If you use the camera feature or upload images for custom backgrounds, these images are stored locally on your device and are not sent to our servers unless you share them.
Favorites & Settings: Your favorite quotes, text preferences, and app settings are stored locally on your device.

b. Third-Party Data Processing

Analytics Services: Our app uses Firebase Analytics which may collect anonymized data about how you interact with the App. This includes information such as which features you use, session duration, and navigation patterns. This data does not identify you personally and is used to improve the App's performance.
Crash Reporting Services: Our app uses Firebase Crashlytics which may collect anonymized data about app crashes and performance issues. This may include device information and crash logs to help diagnose and fix issues.
Advertising Services: The App uses Google AdMob, Unity Ads, Vungle, and Facebook Audience Network to display ads. These advertising services independently collect anonymized data, such as device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID), IP address, and general location data, to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.
In-App Purchases: We use Google Play Billing for premium purchases. Google processes your payment information and we only receive confirmation of your purchase.

Camera: Used to take photos for custom quote backgrounds (optional).

d. Notification Data

If you enable notifications, we use Android WorkManager to schedule and deliver love quote notifications. These notifications are generated from local content and do not require server interaction. Your notification preferences are stored locally.
