Privacy Policy

How FortuneCookie Daily handles your data and protects your privacy.

Last Updated: December 2025

FortuneCookie Daily (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a mobile application that provides users with daily fortune cookie messages, love fortunes, wealth fortunes, and a history of previously revealed fortunes. This Privacy Policy explains how your data is collected, used, and protected when you use the App.

By installing or using FortuneCookie Daily, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

FortuneCookie Daily is designed to operate with minimal data collection. We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email, phone number, or precise location.

We only process the following categories of data:

1.1 Local App Data (Stored on Device Only)

The App uses on-device storage (e.g., Android SharedPreferences) to store:

  • Fortune cookie history (category, fortune text, timestamp)
  • Daily usage counters (e.g., whether today's free cookie has been used)
  • Local app preferences related to the user experience

This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to any external server controlled by us.

1.2 Advertising Data (via Google AdMob)

FortuneCookie Daily displays banner and interstitial ads using Google AdMob. AdMob may automatically collect certain data, such as:

  • Advertising ID
  • Device information (e.g., model, OS version, crash logs)
  • Approximate location (e.g., region, not precise GPS)
  • Ad performance and interaction data

This information is processed by Google in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy .

You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time via your device’s advertising or privacy settings.

1.3 Network Access and Diagnostics

Because the App requires network permissions (e.g., INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) to load ads and basic remote resources, your device may send standard network information such as:

  • IP address (temporarily used to establish the connection)
  • Connectivity status (e.g., Wi-Fi vs mobile data)

The App itself does not store or log this information, nor do we use it to identify you personally.

2. How We Use Your Information

The limited data we process is used solely for the following purposes:

2.1 Providing Core App Functionality

  • Displaying general, love, and wealth fortune cookie messages
  • Tracking daily free usage (e.g., one free cookie per day)
  • Maintaining a history of previously opened fortunes on your device

2.2 Showing Advertisements

We use Google AdMob to display banner and interstitial ads. Ad-related data is handled by Google in accordance with their own policies and may be used to provide personalized or non-personalized ads.

2.3 Improving User Experience

Local data such as usage counters or history entries are used to provide a smoother, more consistent experience (for example, remembering whether your free cookie for the day has already been opened).

We do not:
– Sell your data to third parties
– Build personal profiles based on your behavior in the App
– Track you across other apps or websites

3. How We Store and Protect Your Data

3.1 On-Device Storage Only

Fortune history and user preferences are stored locally on your phone or tablet. We do not maintain our own external database for these records.

3.2 No Remote Server Collection

FortuneCookie Daily does not upload your fortune history, usage counters, or other local app data to any remote server under our control.

3.3 Security Measures

Your data benefits from Android’s built-in sandboxing and security mechanisms. Because we do not transfer or store your data on external servers, the exposure risk is limited to your device environment.

You can delete all locally saved app data at any time by:

  • Using your device settings (Settings → Apps → FortuneCookie Daily → Storage → Clear Data), and/or
  • Using any “Clear History” or similar function provided within the App itself (when available).

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Google AdMob

FortuneCookie Daily uses Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may collect certain device and usage data in order to show ads and measure their performance.

For more information on how Google processes data in the context of advertising, please review:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can control or limit ad personalization in your Google account or on your Android device under Settings → Privacy → Ads (or similar, depending on device model and OS version).

The App does not integrate other analytics SDKs or social login providers that would collect additional personal information.

5. Children’s Privacy

FortuneCookie Daily is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal data through the App, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps, such as deleting related information if applicable.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App’s functionality, applicable laws, or other operational reasons.

When we make updates, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document. Your continued use of FortuneCookie Daily after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
