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:
- Device type and operating system
- IP address (for general location, not precise tracking)
- App usage (which screens show ads)
- Device advertising identifier (Android only - not used for tracking or creating user profiles)
Non-Personalized Ads
We use non-personalized advertising, which means:
- ✅ Ads are based on app content, not your behavior
- ✅ We do not track you across other apps or websites
- ✅ We do not build a profile of your interests
- ✅ We do not share your personal data with advertisers
- ✅ No cross-app or cross-site tracking occurs
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:
- You will not see a tracking permission dialog
- No tracking occurs across other companies' apps or websites
- Ads are contextual and privacy-friendly
- No personal data is shared for advertising purposes
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:
- Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Reset advertising ID
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking (to see app tracking status)

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 |

| Google (Gemini + AdMob) | United States | SCCs (Google'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.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

- Sending you a push notification or in-app notice
- Posting the updated Privacy Policy on our website
- Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
If you do not accept a material change, you should stop using Deal Once before the change takes effect.

For non-material changes (such as clarifications or corrections), we will update the "Last Updated" date without advance notice.
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.

- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): Account creation, listing management, payments, messaging, and verification — processing necessary to perform or prepare a contract with you
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): Fraud prevention, security, analytics, and non-personalised advertising — where our interests are not overridden by your rights
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): Retaining records required by applicable law
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Optional features such as AI listing analysis. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing

Automated Processing and Profiling
Some Deal Once features use automated processing. When you use the optional AI listing tool, images are processed by Google Gemini to generate suggested titles, descriptions, and price ranges — this does not produce legal or similarly significant effects and is not subject to Article 22 GDPR. Fraud-signal analysis may use algorithmic checks on transaction patterns; where this produces significant effects you have the right to request human review, express your point of view, and contest the decision by contacting us at support@dealonce.com.
14A. United Kingdom Privacy Rights (UK GDPR)
If you are in the United Kingdom, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) apply. Your rights mirror those set out in §14 above. The UK's supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):

- Helpline: 0303 123 1113
