6. Advertising Information
We use the following third-party advertising SDKs in our app to provide a personalized ad experience:
Appsflyer: Used for analyzing ad performance to help us understand ad effectiveness and user behavior. The information collected includes:
Device information (device type, device ID, device advertising ID, operating system)
User interaction data (in-app activities, clicks)
Privacy policy: https://www.appsflyer.com/legal/privacy-policy/
You can manage your ad preferences through your device settings. When personalized ads are disabled, Appsflyer will stop accessing the device advertising ID after the app is restarted. When a user clicks on an ad, it will open in an in-app browser.
Depending on the ad content, different user experiences may be available. Currently, we support in-app browser (WebView) bridge functions such as intent;scheme=xxx;package=xxx; or other bridges that enable in-app or external actions. When a user triggers such an action, a warning pop-up may appear, asking whether to proceed. If the user agrees, it will open other system applications or initiate other in-app actions.
7. Children’s Privacy
Focus Buddy is designed for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect or store data from individuals under this age. If such data is identified, it will be promptly deleted.
