8. Cookies and Web Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies on our website to provide core functionality, measure analytics, and serve ads. You can manage your cookie preferences via the consent banner shown on your first visit and through your browser settings.

Cookie Categories

  • Strictly Necessary: Authentication session cookies and the cookie-consent record. These are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics: Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid, _gat) that collect anonymised usage data. Active only with your consent.
  • Advertising: Google AdSense/AdMob cookies for serving relevant ads to free-plan web users. Active only with your consent.
  • Functional: Cookies that remember your preferences (e.g., visited-state, consent choices).

Full details on each cookie, its purpose, and its lifespan are available in our Cookie Policy.

9. Mobile App Tracking and Consent

iOS – App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

On iOS 14.5 and later, Apple requires apps to request your permission before accessing your device's Advertising Identifier (IDFA) for cross-app and cross-website tracking. When you first launch the RouMate iOS app, you will see an App Tracking Transparency system prompt:

  • If you tap "Allow Tracking": Your IDFA is shared with Google AdMob to enable personalised advertisements based on your interests and cross-app activity.
  • If you tap "Ask App Not to Track": Your IDFA is not accessed. AdMob will serve non-personalised (contextual) ads instead. You will still see ads on the free plan, but they will not be based on your cross-app profile.

You can change this choice at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → RouMate.

Android – Google Advertising ID

On Android, Google AdMob may use the Google Advertising ID (GAID) to personalise ads. You can reset or opt out of ad personalisation at any time via Settings → Privacy → Ads → Delete advertising ID (Android 12+) or Opt out of Ads Personalisation (earlier Android versions). If you opt out, AdMob will serve non-personalised contextual ads.

Firebase Analytics – No Advertising Data Used

Firebase Analytics collects usage events using a pseudonymous Firebase Installation ID — it does not use IDFA or GAID for analytics purposes. You can reset or clear this ID by uninstalling and reinstalling the app, or by clearing app data in device settings.

Non-Personalised Ads Behaviour

When personalised-ad consent is not granted (or is revoked), our app instructs AdMob to deliver non-personalised ads. These ads may still use contextual signals such as app category and general location, but do not use cross-app behavioural profiles. You will continue to see ads on the free plan; they will simply be context-based rather than interest-based.

App Store and Google Play Privacy Disclosures

Our App Store and Google Play privacy nutrition labels reflect the data practices described in this policy. Key declared data types include:

  • Data Used to Track You: Advertising ID (IDFA/GAID) — only when ATT/device consent is granted
  • Data Linked to You: Account identifiers (email), purchase history, in-app usage data, crash data
  • Data Not Linked to You: Aggregated Firebase Analytics events, non-personalised ad impressions, anonymised crash reports

If you believe our app store privacy labels are inconsistent with this policy, please contact us at support@percentrade.com.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website and app may contain links to third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites or services and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal data.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a person under 18, please contact us immediately at support@percentrade.com so we can delete it promptly.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date, and where appropriate, by in-app notification or email.

13. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise your data rights, or have a data protection concern, please contact us:

⚠ Legal Review Required: This policy has been updated to reflect current technical practices including Firebase Analytics, Google AdMob, and Supabase. It is an operational draft and is not a substitute for qualified legal advice. We strongly recommend review by a qualified privacy or technology law professional before publishing, particularly regarding GDPR adequacy decisions, CCPA "sale/sharing" determinations, ATT compliance obligations, and any jurisdiction-specific requirements applicable to your user base.

This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date listed above and applies to all users of Percentrade's analytics services, including the RouMate mobile application.
