Approved (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the Approved mobile app and the website approvedbylama.com. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your choices.
This policy covers the Approved Android app and approvedbylama.com. Third-party sites or services linked from our app/website are not covered—check their policies.
We only collect what we need to run and improve the service.
Account & Contact Info (e.g., name, email, phone) — if you create an account or contact support.
Identifiers & Device Info (e.g., device model, OS, app version, advertising ID*) — for security, analytics, crash diagnostics.
Usage Data (e.g., screens viewed, features used, interaction timestamps) — to improve performance and UX.
Diagnostics (e.g., crash logs, performance metrics) — to fix bugs and stability issues.
Content you provide (e.g., text, images, forms) — only what you submit.
Cookies & Similar Tech (Website only) — for basic site functionality and analytics.
* You can reset your advertising ID in Android settings.

Legitimate interests: app security, fraud prevention, product improvement

We don’t sell personal data. We share only with:
Service providers/Processors (e.g., hosting, analytics, crash reporting, email) under contracts that restrict use to our instructions.
Legal/Compliance when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
Business transfers (e.g., merger/acquisition) with notice where required.
Typical processors we may use:
Firebase Analytics / Google Analytics — usage analytics

We request permissions only when a feature needs them:
Notifications — updates and alerts; opt in/out in system settings.
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it. Examples:
Account data: kept while the account is active and for [6 months] after closure (legal/accounting/security).
Logs/diagnostics: [6–12 months].
We use technical and organizational measures (encryption in transit, access controls, limited retention). No system is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data.
If data is processed outside your region, we use lawful safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses) where required.
Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, or port your data.
EEA/UK: you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
California (CCPA/CPRA): you can request disclosure, correction, deletion, and opt-out of “sale”/“sharing” (we don’t sell personal data).
Requests: [[email protected]]. We’ll verify and respond within the legal timeframe.
Account deletion: use [in-app: Settings → Account → Delete Account] or email us. Deletion is permanent and removes personal data not required by law.
Marketing: unsubscribe in any email or in-app settings.
Permissions: change in Android settings at any time.
Cookies (website): use your browser controls; some functionality may break.
Our service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We don’t knowingly collect data from children. If you think a child used the service, contact us and we’ll delete related data.

If we make material changes, we’ll notify you in-app or on the website and update the effective date. Keep using the app only if you agree to the updated policy.
