2. Collection of Your Information
Tapsle is designed as an offline-first Progressive Web App (PWA). All counters, names, targets, and settings are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. We do not collect any personal data from the core app functionality.
However, to improve our services, we may collect limited, anonymized data through third-party tools:
- Analytics (Google Analytics): Anonymized usage data, such as page views, session duration, and device type. IP addresses are anonymized. No user IDs or personal information are collected.
- Ads (Google AdSense): Non-personalized ads may be displayed. Ads may use cookies or similar technologies for ad serving, but we do not share personal data with advertisers.
We do not collect sensitive information such as names, emails, or locations from users.
3. Use of Your Information
Any information we collect is used solely to:
- Improve app functionality and user experience (via anonymized analytics).
- Display non-personalized ads to support development (via AdSense).
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not use your information for marketing, profiling, or selling to third parties.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include:
- Analytics Providers: Anonymized data shared with Google Analytics for aggregated insights.
- Ad Providers: Limited data shared with Google AdSense for non-personalized ad serving.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
Third-party links on our site (e.g., blog) have their own privacy policies, which we do not control.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Tapsle uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functions and analytics/ads:
- Essential Cookies: For PWA installation and local storage (no consent required).

6. Children's Privacy
Tapsle does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we discover such data, we delete it immediately. We comply with COPPA and do not target children with ads.
7. Data Security
We use HTTPS for all data in transit. Local data is encrypted by your browser. However, no system is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
