This Privacy Policy explains how we (“we”, “us”, “our”) handle information across our iOS apps and website (collectively, the “Services”). We may release new apps in the future that follow the same privacy principles described here, unless a separate in-app notice states otherwise. We do not sell personal data. Zipper Lock Screen Style and Duel Mahjong 1vs1 Board Game display third-party ads as described below; Whats-Audio Transcribe does not show ads.
Apps Covered
- Whats-Audio Transcribe — iOS app & share extension (translation/OCR/transcription workflow).
- Zipper Lock Screen Style — zipper-style launcher with widgets, optional passcode, and customization.
- Duel Mahjong 1vs1 Board Game — offline mahjong-style 1vs1 board game with local coins, entry fees, and optional rewarded ads (no real-money gambling).
Policy Summary by App
Zipper Lock Screen Style
Shows third-party ads via AppLovin MAX (banners/interstitial/rewarded). We respect iOS tracking permission: if you allow tracking, ad partners may access IDFA; if you deny, we do not provide IDFA and partners rely on Apple’s SKAdNetwork and contextual signals. We may use Facebook SDK (App Events) for app activation/purchase events, consistent with your iOS tracking choice.
- Permissions: Photos (optional, to pick backgrounds), biometrics/passcode (optional, local lock screen only).
- Data examples: ad impressions/clicks, device model, OS version, IP/locale/coarse location, and—if allowed—IDFA.
- Pro users: when you subscribe, we disable ads in-app.
Whats-Audio Transcribe
Processes user-selected content on demand to deliver translation/OCR/transcription results. No third-party ads.
- Content handling: sent securely (HTTPS) to our backend only to fulfill your request; not used to build profiles.
- Telemetry (minimal): non-content metadata (timestamps, feature type, size range, success/error codes) to keep the service reliable and prevent abuse.
- Payments: handled by Apple; we don’t receive card details.
Duel Mahjong 1vs1 Board Game
Offline 1vs1 mahjong-style board game versus an AI opponent. Uses AppLovin MAX for interstitial and rewarded ads and may use Facebook SDK (App Events) for basic analytics/attribution, respecting your iOS tracking choice. Coins, entry fees, and rewards are purely in-game and cannot be bought or cashed out as real money.
- Permissions: no special OS-level permissions beyond standard networking and system frameworks.
- Game data: local progress, difficulty level, and coin balance are stored on your device.
- No real-money gambling: there is no real-money betting, no cash-out, and no real prizes.

Data We Collect / Receive
- Ads & measurement: via AppLovin MAX and integrated ad partners we may receive ad delivery and measurement data (e.g., ad impressions/clicks, approximate location, IP address, device model/OS, language/region). If you allow “Allow Tracking”, IDFA may be available to ad partners. If you deny, IDFA is not shared; partners may still use SKAdNetwork and contextual signals.
- App events: via Facebook SDK (App Events) we may log app activation and subscription success for analytics/attribution, respecting your iOS tracking choice.
- Purchase state: subscription status (“Pro unlocked”) to control ads/features locally.
- On-device assets: backgrounds, zipper styles, and preferences are stored locally on your device.
Permissions & On-Device Use
- Photos: used only to let you choose front/under backgrounds. Images stay on device.
- Biometrics/Passcode: optional local gate before launching a shortcut; we never access biometric data.
- Widgets & Shortcuts: tapping can open the main app or route you to a target app via public URL schemes you explicitly trigger.
Your Choices
- ATT (Tracking): iOS → Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. If you deny, we do not provide IDFA.
- GDPR consent (if applicable): in-app toggles let you control personalized ads.
- CCPA “Do Not Sell/Share” (if applicable): in-app toggle reduces sharing for cross-context advertising.
- Pro subscription: disables ads in the app.
Opening Third-Party Apps
The app can open other apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, YouTube, Maps) via public URL schemes, only after your tap. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by those apps, and we do not receive data from them.
Duel Mahjong 1vs1 Board Game — Details
Game Nature
Duel Mahjong 1vs1 Board Game is a casual, offline board game where you face a single AI opponent in head-to-head tile-matching rounds. The game uses in-game coins and entry fees only as a form of progress/challenge. These coins:
- cannot be purchased or exchanged for real money within the app,
- cannot be withdrawn or cashed out, and
- serve only as an in-game resource to unlock rounds and rewards.
The app does not offer real-money gambling or real prizes.
Data We Collect / Receive
- Ads & measurement: via AppLovin MAX we may receive ad delivery and measurement data (e.g., ad impressions/clicks, approximate location, IP address, device model/OS, language/region). If you allow tracking at the iOS level, IDFA may be available to ad partners. If you deny, IDFA is not shared; partners may still rely on SKAdNetwork and contextual signals.
- Rewarded ads: when you choose to watch a rewarded ad (for example, to receive extra in-game coins or bonuses), ad partners receive the same type of ad-related data as above.
- App events: via Facebook SDK (App Events) we may log app activation, session and basic engagement events for analytics and attribution, respecting your iOS tracking choice.
- Local game data: difficulty level, local “entry fee”/coins balance, progress/unlocks and basic stats are stored on your device to keep track of your experience. This data is not sold and is not used to build profiles across apps.
Permissions & Connectivity
- Permissions: the game does not require special OS-level permissions beyond standard network access for ads/SDKs.
- Connectivity: gameplay itself is offline against an AI opponent. Network access is primarily used for downloading ads, essential updates and telemetry allowed by your device settings.
Your Choices
- ATT (Tracking): iOS → Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. If you deny tracking, we do not provide IDFA to ad partners.
- Rewarded ads: you can choose whether or not to watch rewarded ads to receive in-game bonuses.
- Local data: you may reset your progress and coins by deleting the app from your device.
Whats-Audio Transcribe — Details
Scope
This section covers: (a) the iOS app & share extension (the “App”), (b) our backend used to process translation/OCR/transcription,
and (c) our website at share2translate.com.
What We Process
- Content you provide (on demand): text, images, or audio you choose to process. Used only to return results.
- Device permissions: camera, photo library, and microphone, only when you invoke related features.
- On-device app data: preferences, free-tier counters, and subscription unlock flags stored locally.
- Service telemetry (minimal): non-content metadata (timestamps, feature type, size range, success/error codes, rate-limit info) to maintain reliability and prevent abuse.
- Payments: Apple processes purchases; we may receive non-sensitive transaction status to enable “Pro” features.
How Features Work (Privacy by Design)
- Translation/OCR/Audio: content sent via HTTPS to our backend solely to return a result; not retained beyond what’s necessary to deliver the response and ensure integrity.
- Free-tier counters: stored locally; not used as profiles.
- Security signals: we validate requests (API keys, rate limits, app-origin checks) to block abuse.
Legal Bases (EU/UK GDPR)
- Performance of a contract: to provide the features you request.
- Legitimate interests: to secure the service and perform basic telemetry/error handling.
- Consent: for any optional analytics you may choose to enable in the future.
- Legal obligations: to comply with applicable laws or lawful requests.
Retention
- Content: transient—kept only to complete the requested operation.
- Telemetry & logs: minimal, non-content logs may be retained briefly (typically up to 30 days) for reliability/security, then aggregated or deleted.
- On-device settings: remain on your device until you delete the app or reset data.
- Support emails: typically retained up to 24 months; you may request earlier deletion.
Third-Party Processing
- Apple: in-app purchases, receipt validation, and system frameworks (camera/microphone/photos, speech/tts).
- Google Cloud Platform (e.g., Cloud Run): hosts parts of our processing backend for Whats-Audio Transcribe.
- Ad networks & analytics (Zipper & Duel Mahjong): AppLovin MAX, Meta/Facebook SDK and their integrated ad partners handle ad delivery and measurement under their own privacy policies, respecting your iOS privacy choices (such as ATT tracking settings).
Security
- All communications with our backend (when used by Whats-Audio Transcribe) occur over HTTPS/TLS.
- Access controls and rate limiting help prevent abuse.
- We minimize data collection and review permissions regularly.
Your Choices & Controls
- Permissions: you can revoke camera/microphone/photos in iOS Settings > Privacy.
- Deletion: remove local data by deleting the respective app; for server-side support records, email us a deletion request.
- Do Not Sell or Share: we do not sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. We will verify and respond within the timelines required by law.
Children’s Privacy
Our apps are not primarily directed to children under 13 (or the age of digital consent in your region). We design them for a general audience. For Zipper and Duel Mahjong, if you identify usage by a child, you can limit data sharing via iOS privacy settings (including Tracking) and parental controls. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
International Transfers
Whats-Audio Transcribe may process data on servers located outside your country. Where required, we implement safeguards for cross-border transfers. Zipper Lock Screen Style and Duel Mahjong 1vs1 Board Game primarily process interactions on device; ad delivery/measurement is handled by third-party networks under their policies.
Website Cookies
Our website uses only essential, limited cookies/headers for basic operation and security. No third-party ad trackers.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the “Last updated” date and, when appropriate, additional in-app or on-site notice. Your continued use means you accept the updated Policy.
