9. Advertising and Privacy

Important: We display non-personalized advertisements in the app using Google AdMob. These ads are based on the content of the app, not on your personal data or browsing behavior across other apps and websites.

What Data AdMob Collects

AdMob may collect minimal technical information to serve ads:

Non-Personalized Ads

We use non-personalized advertising, which means:

App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

We do not use App Tracking Transparency (ATT) or any tracking frameworks. Since we only serve non-personalized contextual ads, user tracking is not necessary. This means:

SKAdNetwork (iOS)

We use Apple's SKAdNetwork framework for privacy-preserving ad attribution on iOS. This allows ad networks to measure ad effectiveness without tracking individual users or compromising your privacy.

Your Advertising Choices

While we don't use personalized advertising, you can still manage advertising preferences on your device:

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. The table below identifies where each sub-processor is located and the safeguard used for transfers from the EEA/UK:

Sub-processor Country Transfer mechanism (EEA/UK users)
Supabase Singapore Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
Stripe United States SCCs (Stripe's DPA)
Didit EU/EEA (Estonia) Within EEA — no transfer mechanism required; adequacy applies for AU/UK transfers
Cloudflare (Images & Stream) United States (global CDN) SCCs (Cloudflare's DPA)

ASIC / ABR Australia Australia only — no cross-border transfer

Where we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or their UK equivalent (IDTA/addendum), we ensure the sub-processor is bound by the same obligations regarding your personal data. You may request a copy of the relevant transfer mechanism by contacting us at support@dealonce.com.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. For material changes (changes that affect how we use or share your data, or that add new categories of data collection), we will give you at least 30 days' advance notice (or such longer period as required by applicable law in your jurisdiction) by:

If you do not accept a material change, you should stop using Deal Once before the change takes effect. Your continued use of Deal Once after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

12. Third-Party Links

The app may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Transfers of your data from the UK to our sub-processors in third countries use the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or an addendum to EU SCCs, as applicable. Australia holds an adequacy decision from the UK for the purposes of transfers to ASIC/ABR.
