Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy applies to the application Horror Stories: Scary Tales, developed by AstrixLabs.
1. Data Collection
This application is designed with an offline-first approach. We do not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII). All stories, reading progress, and settings are stored locally on your device. To improve the user experience, we collect anonymous usage statistics which are buffered locally and securely uploaded when an active internet connection is available.
2. Permissions
This application does not require access to sensitive device permissions such as your camera, microphone, or contacts. It may require standard storage permissions to save your reading progress locally.
3. Third-Party Services
We use third-party services to deliver advertisements and analyze app performance:
- Google AdMob: Used for advertisements to keep our software free to use. Google may process basic device data, such as hardware model, operating system version, and advertising IDs, to show relevant ads.
- Google Analytics for Firebase: Used to track anonymous events (such as story opens, completion rates, searches, and bookmarks) to help us understand user behavior and optimize our content catalog.
You can review Google's advertising and analytics privacy information.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
Your reading progress and local settings remain on your device until you clear the app's data or uninstall the app. Analytics data sent to Firebase is stored anonymously and does not contain personal profiles.
