1. Introduction and scope
BPZone (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides Love Note Studio / Romantic Kiss Stickers (the “app”). This policy explains how information is processed when you use the Android or iOS app, and how to contact us about privacy.
The app lets you browse sticker packs and categories, download supported remote content, edit supported content, and export or share stickers. Some features depend on your platform, app version, remote configuration, or the availability of another app. Core sticker browsing does not require creating an app account.
Third-party apps and websites that you choose to open have their own privacy policies. This policy describes our app and its integrated services; it does not replace those third parties’ policies.
2. Information processed and purposes
- Local app data: downloaded stickers, catalog state, preferences, favorites where supported, reward unlock records, and editor content or drafts help provide and remember app features.
- Usage and operational data: app interactions, pack identifiers, download and export outcomes, ad events, notification interactions, and error information help measure usage, advertising performance, and reliability.
- Identifiers and network data: installation identifiers, messaging tokens, available advertising or app-scoped identifiers, and technical request information support configuration, content delivery, advertising, measurement, notifications, and abuse prevention.
- Information you send us: if you contact support, the receiving email or support service processes your contact details, message, and any attachments you choose to provide. Please avoid sending information that is unnecessary for your request.
Editing and selected images
On Android, you can select images through the system photo picker or its supported document-picker fallback. Selected images, text, and saved sticker projects are processed and stored locally for editing. Automatic background removal uses Google ML Kit on the device; the feature may download its model and send technical usage and diagnostic metrics to Google. ML Kit does not upload the input images or resulting cutouts for that processing. See ML Kit’s privacy information.
On iOS, the editor stores composition drafts, including text and editing choices, on the device. Copying or sharing an edited image places it on the clipboard or passes it to a destination you select. The editing flows do not upload your photos or typed text to our remote sticker catalog. Technical telemetry and user-initiated sharing are separate from this local editing.
3. Device and technical information
Integrated services process information such as device model, operating system, app version, language, installation identifiers, network information, and service request or error details. A server receiving a request can receive your IP address, request time, requested content, and ordinary protocol information. An IP address can indicate an approximate location even though the app does not request GPS location permission.
Android uses internet and network-state access for online features and advertising, and notification permission on supported Android versions. Image selection uses the system picker rather than requesting unrestricted access to your photo library. iOS uses the system notification authorization process. These permissions differ from advertising consent.
4. Advertising and advertising identifiers
iOS uses Google AdMob only. Android uses Google AdMob with active Meta Audience Network mediation. Both apps support banner, native, interstitial, and rewarded ads. Placements and availability can change through configuration; active mediation does not mean Meta serves every Android ad.
Google’s advertising SDK processes IP addresses, device or app identifiers, ad impressions and interactions, and diagnostic or performance information for advertising, measurement, and fraud prevention. IP addresses may be used to estimate general location. Processing depends on the platform, consent status, device settings, and ad configuration. See Google’s Android advertising disclosures and iOS advertising disclosures.
On Android, available identifiers can include the Android advertising ID and app set ID. Android settings provide advertising ID controls, depending on the operating system version. On iOS, the operating system restricts access to the advertising identifier (IDFA) without App Tracking Transparency permission. The current iOS app does not display an App Tracking Transparency request. Other app- or developer-scoped identifiers and advertising data can still be processed; the absence of an IDFA permission request does not mean that no data is collected.
Ad selection and data use depend on your applicable choices and the advertising providers’ rules. Ads that are not personalized can still involve technical information, identifiers where permitted, measurement, and fraud prevention.
Rewarded ads, unlocking, downloading, and exporting
You can choose to view a rewarded ad to earn access to a locked sticker pack. A qualifying reward reported by the advertising SDK records an unlock on the device; depending on the offer, additional eligible packs may also be unlocked. Merely opening or closing an ad does not establish that a reward was earned.
Unlocking is separate from downloading or exporting. Earning a reward does not automatically download a pack or add it to WhatsApp. You must separately choose to download remote content and, once it is available, choose to export it. Ad viewing, reward outcomes, and subsequent content actions can be measured as separate events.
5. Analytics and diagnostics
Both apps use Google Analytics for Firebase to measure app usage and feature performance. Events include catalog and sticker-pack activity, download and export results, editing-tool actions, advertising requests and outcomes, ad-revenue values, promotions, and notification-related activity. Event details can include pack identifiers, feature names, status or error codes, timing, and app or configuration versions. Ad-revenue reporting measures advertising income; it is not a record of a purchase by you.
Firebase Analytics also processes SDK-generated usage, device, and app-instance information. The app’s editor event reporting uses technical actions and metrics rather than the content of your typed messages or selected images. Analytics information should not be treated as necessarily anonymous simply because the app has no account login.
Android: Firebase Crashlytics is enabled in release builds. It processes crash and non-fatal error reports, stack traces, diagnostic logs, installation identifiers, app version, and related device information to help investigate failures. Logs may include error messages and technical context.
iOS: the app does not integrate Firebase Crashlytics. Advertising and other integrated SDKs can still process their own diagnostic and performance data.
6. Firebase services
- Remote Config supplies settings that control feature availability and behavior, including catalog and advertising features. It uses installation-related information and configuration requests. It does not host the sticker files.
- Firebase Hosting serves remote catalog data and sticker assets over the internet and receives ordinary request information, including IP addresses.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging supports push notifications using installation identifiers and messaging tokens. On iOS it works with Apple Push Notification service.
- Google Analytics for Firebase supports usage and event measurement on both platforms; Crashlytics provides Android crash reporting.
These services process information through Google’s infrastructure. Details about service-specific identifiers and handling are available in Firebase’s privacy and security information.
7. Remote catalogs and content downloads
The app combines bundled sticker packs with remote catalogs, including the Generation 5 catalog system. Remote catalog listings, categories, availability, and supported content can be updated without publishing a new app version. You can browse available packs and choose to download supported remote content when the feature is available.
Browsing can fetch catalog information, previews, or other content. Downloading retrieves sticker assets from Firebase Hosting. Requests expose ordinary technical information, such as your IP address and the requested files, to the hosting infrastructure. Remote Config controls settings and availability; Hosting delivers the catalog data and files.
Downloaded assets and catalog state are saved locally and may remain on your device for later use, including supported offline use. The app can replace or remove cached or obsolete content during maintenance. Downloading a pack does not by itself export that pack to WhatsApp.
8. Push notifications
Both apps use Firebase Cloud Messaging for optional push notifications. Where promotional notifications are enabled, they may announce sticker collections, updates, featured content, and reminders to return to the app. These notifications are sent occasionally, approximately once every two weeks, but availability and frequency can vary by platform and app version; this is not a fixed schedule.
Android: the app enables Firebase messaging initialization. On Android 13 and later it requests notification permission through the system prompt. On earlier supported versions, notification display is managed through the device’s app notification settings. Notification interactions can open promotional content and load associated images over the network.
iOS: the app requests permission for alerts, badges, and sounds. After authorization it registers with Apple Push Notification service, associates the Apple device token with Firebase Messaging, and stores the Firebase messaging token locally. It records notification permission and registration outcomes, and notification receipt or opening events, which can include a notification message identifier.
You can decline notification permission or disable notifications at any time in your device settings. This controls notification display; it does not by itself disable Firebase initialization, installation identifiers, analytics, or all messaging-related processing.
9. WhatsApp and other third-party integrations
When you choose to add a pack to WhatsApp, the app makes the selected stickers and pack information available to WhatsApp. Android uses a sticker content provider protected by WhatsApp’s sticker-read permission. iOS prepares a sticker-pack payload on the system pasteboard, marks that handoff as local-only with a short expiry, and opens WhatsApp. Ordinary editor copying uses the system clipboard separately.
The app can check whether a supported WhatsApp app is available and whether a pack has been added where the platform supports that check. It does not read your WhatsApp conversations or contacts. WhatsApp controls its own handling of imported stickers and messages.
Where offered, Telegram buttons open a sticker-pack link in an external app or browser. The app measures link-opening and return events; returning to the app does not confirm that Telegram installed a pack. Sharing through the system share menu passes the content you select to the destination you choose.
Developer promotions may fetch artwork from our website, open an app-store listing, and record promotion interactions. The receiving host sees ordinary network request data. App stores and destination services handle their own activity under their policies.
10. Consent and privacy choices
Both apps use Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to obtain advertising privacy information, display a consent message when required by its configuration, and determine whether ads may be requested. The available message and choices can depend on your region and prior choices.
- Android: open the app’s information screen and select Privacy Settings when that option is available.
- iOS: open the app’s information screen and select Privacy Choices when that option is available.
- Notifications: use the app’s notification controls in your device settings.
- Advertising identifiers: use the privacy and advertising controls available in your device settings. Available controls vary by platform and version.
The in-app advertising privacy option is shown when UMP reports that it is required. Advertising consent, notification permission, and any platform tracking permission are distinct. UMP is not an app-wide switch for Firebase Analytics or Android crash reporting: Firebase services initialize independently, and these app versions do not provide a separate in-app analytics or crash-reporting opt-out. Contact us about privacy requests or questions about the available controls.
This policy provides information; reading it or using a sticker feature is not itself an advertising consent choice.
12. Data retention
Local downloads, catalog records, preferences, unlocks, and editor drafts can remain between sessions until they are replaced, removed through available controls, or removed with the app’s data. Temporary files and caches may be cleared by the app or operating system. An unlock is a local record rather than an account-based entitlement.
Analytics, diagnostics, messaging identifiers, advertising records, hosting logs, and support correspondence have different retention rules. Their duration depends on the service, its settings and policies, and any applicable legal requirements. There is no single retention period covering every category. See the provider information linked above for service-specific details.
Android disables app backup in its configuration. On iOS, device or iCloud backups may retain eligible local app data according to your settings; remote catalog storage is marked to be excluded from backup. Data or stickers you export, copy, or share can remain with their destination independently of the app.
13. Data deletion and user controls
You can delete saved user-created stickers where the app offers that control. Android system settings allow you to clear the app’s storage. On iOS, deleting the app removes its local app container; offloading the app can preserve its data. Removing app data can also remove downloaded packs, drafts, preferences, and local reward unlock records.
Manage exported stickers in WhatsApp or the relevant destination app, shared files where you saved them, clipboard content through your device’s controls, and backups through the applicable backup service. Removing the app does not necessarily remove those separate copies or information already processed by service providers.
To request access to or deletion of information processed in connection with the app, contact us using the details below. Describe your platform and request without sending unnecessary sensitive information. The scope of a request depends on applicable law and whether the relevant records can be identified. Clearing local data or changing an advertising identifier does not automatically delete all server-side records.
14. Data security
Remote catalog connections use HTTPS, and local app files use the operating system’s app storage protections. Android restricts sticker-provider access through WhatsApp’s sticker-read permission; iOS uses a limited pasteboard handoff for pack export. These measures reduce risks, but no storage, transmission, device, or third-party service can be guaranteed completely secure.
15. International data processing
Providers operate infrastructure in multiple countries. Information processed through their services may be handled outside your country, including in the United States, where data protection laws can differ. Their privacy notices and service terms explain their processing locations and transfer safeguards. Contact us for information about international processing relevant to your request.
16. Children’s privacy
Both the Android and iOS applications are intended for adults aged 18 and older and are not directed to children. The apps include advertising and online services that process technical and usage information as described in this policy.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app or a support message in circumstances requiring parental consent, contact us so the concern and any appropriate access, restriction, or deletion request can be assessed under applicable law. Please do not send additional information about the child beyond what is necessary to explain the concern.
17. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and the processing involved, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information; restrict or object to processing; withdraw consent; or opt out of certain advertising uses or disclosures treated as a sale or sharing under applicable law. These rights are subject to the conditions and exceptions in the relevant law.
Use the available privacy controls described above or contact us to make a request. We may need information sufficient to verify the request and identify relevant records. Withdrawing consent does not change the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal. You may also have a right to complain to your local data protection authority or appeal a request decision where applicable.
18. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the app, service providers, or applicable requirements change. Revisions will be reflected in the effective date at the top. Additional notice or a new consent choice may be required for particular changes under applicable law.
