Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Duduu Friends ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the Oh My Bear Cute Stickers Android app ("the App").
The App is available on Google Play at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DuduuStudio.BearSticker
Who we are
The App is published by Duduu Friends.
For privacy questions or requests, contact us at duduufriends@gmail.com.
What the App does
Oh My Bear Cute Stickers lets you browse sticker packs and add them to WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business.
The App also includes features for creating and editing stickers and images. Some sticker content and App features may be downloaded on demand through Google Play.
Most App features can be used without an account. Signing in is used for account and Premium functionality.
Account and authentication
The App supports account sign-in only through Google Sign-In.
When you sign in, Google and our authentication provider, Supabase, process information needed to authenticate you. This may include a unique account identifier and basic Google account information made available during authentication, such as your name, email address, and profile picture.
We do not maintain an App profile containing your name, email address, profile picture, favorites, photos, or sticker content.
The App-specific profile stored by us contains only your account tier, such as whether your account is Free or Premium. Supabase authentication maintains the information needed to associate that tier with your authenticated account.
We do not receive or store your Google password.
Your favorites, photos, custom stickers, drafts, and other user-created content are not synchronized with your account.
Premium purchases
Premium purchases are processed through Google Play Billing.
Google Play handles the payment transaction. We do not receive or store your credit card number, bank account details, or other payment credentials.
To verify, activate, and restore Premium access, the App and our backend may process information such as the purchased product, purchase status, a Google Play purchase token, and an account identifier used to associate the purchase with your authenticated App account.
This information is processed only as needed to verify the purchase and maintain the correct Premium entitlement.
Analytics and diagnostics
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used and to improve its features and reliability.
The App records usage and diagnostic events related to features such as browsing sticker packs, favorites, adding stickers to WhatsApp, Photo Editor, Sticker Maker, and the Premium purchase flow.
These events may include information about which feature was used, whether an operation succeeded or failed, and other technical information needed to understand App usage and reliability.
Firebase Analytics may also automatically process information such as App and device information, App installation identifiers, usage and session information, and approximate geographic information.
We do not intentionally include your name, email address, selected photos, camera images, or the contents of stickers you create in our custom analytics events.
Advertising and consent
Non-Premium users may see advertisements.
We use Google AdMob as our primary advertising platform. AdMob may serve advertisements through mediation partners including Unity Ads and Liftoff Monetize / Vungle.
Advertising providers may process information needed to deliver, measure, secure, and improve advertising. Depending on the provider, your device, region, and privacy settings, this may include IP address, advertising or device identifiers, general location derived from network information, App and device information, ad impressions and interactions, and diagnostic or performance information.
Where required, the App uses Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to present advertising consent or privacy choices.
Your choices may affect how advertising data is processed and what types of ads can be shown.
Premium users do not receive advertising from the App while their Premium entitlement is active.
Photos, camera, and user-created content
The App may access photos or the camera when you choose to use features such as Photo Editor or Sticker Maker.
When you select a photo, the App accesses only the image you explicitly choose.
When you choose to take a photo, Sticker Maker may request camera permission so the App can capture the image you requested.
Photos, camera captures, custom stickers, sticker drafts, and other content you create using these features are processed locally on your device.
The App does not upload this user-created content to our servers.
We do not use the contents of your photos or custom stickers for analytics, advertising, or account profiling.
User-created content leaves the App only when you explicitly initiate an action that requires it, such as sharing an image or adding sticker content to another app.
Information stored locally on your device
The App stores certain information locally on your device to provide its features.
This information is not synchronized with your online account and is not uploaded to our servers.
Local App data remains on your device until it is removed through the relevant App feature, the App's storage is cleared, or the App is uninstalled.
Images that you explicitly save to your device's gallery are stored outside the App's private storage and may remain after the App is uninstalled.
- Favorite sticker packs
- Custom sticker packs
- Photo Editor and Sticker Maker drafts
- Working files
- Temporary image-processing files
- Other local preferences and feature state
WhatsApp and sharing
The App lets you add sticker packs to WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business.
When you choose to add a sticker pack, the App provides the sticker data required for that action to WhatsApp.
The App may also allow you to share images or other content using Android's sharing features.
These actions are initiated by you. Once content is provided to another app, that app handles the content according to its own terms and privacy practices.
How we use information
We process information for purposes related to providing, maintaining, securing, and improving the App.
- Provide authentication and account functionality
- Maintain Free and Premium account status
- Verify and restore Premium purchases
- Deliver advertising to eligible users
- Understand how App features are used
- Diagnose errors and reliability problems
- Maintain App and account security
- Prevent fraud and abuse
- Improve the App and its features
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
Third-party services and data sharing
The App relies on third-party services that process information as necessary to provide their respective functionality.
These services include Google Sign-In and Google Play Services, Google Play Billing, Google Play delivery services, Google Analytics for Firebase, Google AdMob, Google User Messaging Platform, Supabase, Unity Ads, Liftoff Monetize / Vungle, and WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business when you choose to interact with them.
These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
Information is shared with these providers only as needed for the functionality described in this Privacy Policy or as a result of an action you initiate.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or a valid legal request, investigate or prevent fraud or abuse, protect the security of the App, or protect the rights and safety of users or others.
Legal bases for processing
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar laws apply, the legal basis for processing depends on the purpose of the processing.
We process information needed to provide services you request, such as authentication, account functionality, purchase verification, and Premium access.
Where required by applicable law, we rely on your consent for processing that requires consent, including certain advertising activities.
We may rely on legitimate interests for purposes such as security, fraud prevention, and service reliability where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
We may also process information where necessary to comply with legal obligations.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent using the privacy controls made available to you. Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.
Data retention
We retain your App account and tier information only for as long as needed to provide account and Premium functionality, unless limited retention is reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, transaction integrity, dispute resolution, or legal obligations.
When you delete your account, account data under our control associated with that account is deleted, except for information that must be retained for one of those limited purposes.
Analytics and advertising providers retain information according to their own policies and the settings applicable to their services.
Information stored only on your device remains there until you delete it, clear the App's storage, or uninstall the App.
Content that you intentionally save outside the App, such as an image saved to your gallery, remains under your control.
Account deletion
You can permanently delete your App account from within the App.
Deleting your account removes the App account and associated account data under our control, including its tier information, except for limited information that may need to be retained for security, fraud prevention, transaction integrity, dispute resolution, or legal obligations.
Deleting your App account does not delete your Google Account or information independently maintained by Google or other third-party services.
You can also request deletion of your App account and associated data through: https://forms.gle/bojuReca3jaenb8q7
Deleting your online account does not automatically delete content stored locally on your device. Local content can be deleted separately through the App where available, by clearing the App's storage, or by uninstalling the App.
Your choices and privacy rights
You can use most App features without signing in.
You can choose whether to sign in, choose which photos to provide to the App, grant or deny camera permission, manage available advertising privacy choices, delete your App account, and clear locally stored App data.
Your Android device and Google Account may provide additional privacy and advertising controls.
Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights relating to your personal information. These may include rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of certain information, or to object to certain processing.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent where applicable.
You may contact us at duduufriends@gmail.com to exercise a privacy right or ask a privacy-related question.
If applicable law gives you the right to complain to a data protection authority or similar regulator, you may also exercise that right.
International data processing
Some third-party providers used by the App operate infrastructure in multiple countries.
Information processed through services such as Google, Supabase, Unity, or Liftoff may therefore be processed in a country other than the one where you live.
Where required by applicable law, international transfers are subject to safeguards provided by the relevant service provider.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information handled by the App and our backend services.
Information transmitted between the App, our backend, and third-party services is protected using encrypted connections where provided by those services.
No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, its features, our service providers, or applicable privacy requirements change.
When we make changes, we will update the Last updated date shown at the top of this Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
