Privacy Policy for Better Us: Less Fights

 # Privacy Policy

**Effective Date:** May 19, 2026  

**Last Updated:** May 19, 2026  

This Privacy Policy applies to **Better Us: Less Fights** (also referred to in some parts of the product as **Ruang Kita: Kurangi Ribut**) and is provided by **[Developer or Company Name]** ("we," "us," or "our").

This Privacy Policy explains what information the app processes, how it is used, when it may be shared, and what choices users have. By using the app, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

## 1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to:

- the Better Us: Less Fights mobile application,

- its in-app features and content,

- device-level storage used by the app,

- reminder and notification features,

- advertising technology integrated into the app, and

- related public privacy disclosures published by us.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party apps, websites, services, or platforms that may interact with the app, except as described in this Policy.

## 2. Summary

Better Us: Less Fights is designed primarily as a self-guided relationship reflection and communication support tool. Most of the app’s core content is intended to be stored locally on the user’s device.

The app does not require account creation in order to use its main features. However, the app may use third-party services, including advertising services, and may rely on Android system services such as notifications and backup/restore features.

Because some content entered into the app may relate to emotions, relationships, conflict history, private thoughts, or memories, users should use the app carefully and avoid storing information that would create serious risk if another person gained access to the device.

## 3. Information You Provide Directly

You may provide information directly when you use the app, including:

- mood check-ins,

- problem check-ins,

- relationship notes,

- conflict descriptions,

- generated or saved calm messages,

- apology drafts,

- repair notes,

- love notes,

- couple agreements,

- relationship boundaries,

- date or quality-time plans,

- memories,

- reflection entries,

- optional text that you manually type into forms,

- optional image or photo URI references that you choose to enter.

This information may contain personal, emotional, relational, or sensitive content depending on what you choose to write.

## 4. Information Generated Through App Use

The app may also create or store certain technical or preference-related information, including:

- selected language,

- selected theme,

- onboarding completion status,

- consent status and consent timestamp,

- reminder settings,

- reminder time,

- ad-related preference flags,

- local counters used to manage ad frequency,

- locally stored feature records needed for app functionality.

This information is used to keep the app working as intended and to remember your choices on the device.

## 5. How We Use Information

We use information processed by the app to:

- provide the features you choose to use,

- save and display your entries,

- organize your relationship tools and history,

- remember your settings,

- enable reminder scheduling,

- support in-app safety and consent flows,

- manage ad display behavior where ads are permitted,

- maintain app functionality and stability.

We do not state that the app’s ordinary core journaling-style content is intentionally uploaded to a dedicated developer-operated backend for normal feature use at this time.

## 6. Local Storage and On-Device Processing

The core features of the app are intended to work mainly through on-device storage. This means that notes, check-ins, plans, and similar entries are generally stored locally on the device where the app is installed.

Local storage can improve privacy compared with sending all content to a remote server, but it does not eliminate risk. If someone gains access to your unlocked device, device backup, restored app data, screen previews, shared exports, or linked storage environments, they may be able to access information stored by the app.

You are responsible for protecting your device with appropriate security measures such as a passcode, biometric lock, private user profile, and backup controls.

## 7. Reminders and Notifications

If you enable reminders, the app may request notification permission where required by Android.

When reminders are enabled, the app may:

- store your chosen reminder time,

- schedule recurring reminder work on your device,

- create notifications using Android system services.

Notification content may appear on the lock screen, in the notification shade, or on other device surfaces depending on your operating system and personal notification settings.

If you do not want others to see reminder-related notifications, you should review your device’s notification privacy settings.

## 8. Advertising and Third-Party Services

The app may display advertising on non-sensitive screens through third-party advertising services, including **Google Mobile Ads / AdMob**.

When ads are requested, loaded, displayed, or measured, third-party ad providers may process information such as:

- device identifiers,

- advertising identifiers,

- IP address,

- network information,

- diagnostic information,

- app interaction data related to ads,

- approximate location inferred from technical signals,

- performance and fraud-prevention signals.

Such third-party processing is governed by the third party’s own privacy terms, policies, and legal obligations.

We attempt to limit ad placement to non-sensitive areas of the app. However, the delivery, auction, measurement, and technical processing of ads are handled by third-party advertising technology rather than fully by us.

If consent is required in your region for certain ad-related processing, the app may request that consent before enabling ad-related functionality.

## 9. Sharing of Information

We do not describe the app’s private user-written core content as being routinely shared to a dedicated developer server for ordinary use of the app’s main features.

However, information may be shared or made available in the following situations:

- with third-party advertising providers when ads are requested or displayed,

- with platform or app distribution providers such as Google Play where necessary for app delivery, integrity, diagnostics, or store operations,

- when you intentionally use a share action,

- when you copy content to the clipboard,

- when you manually enter links, URIs, or content tied to other services,

- when disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or lawful request.

If you manually share information using your device’s share sheet or external apps, that sharing is initiated by you and then becomes subject to the privacy practices of the destination service you choose.

## 10. Photos, Image References, and External URIs

The app may allow you to save a photo URI or other external reference as part of a memory or entry.

If you choose to do this:

- the app may display that reference in the relevant feature,

- the underlying content may remain controlled by the source that hosts it,

- access to the content may depend on external storage, permission, or URI behavior outside our control.

We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third-party sources or services linked through URIs or external references you choose to use.

## 11. Backup and Restore

Android devices or linked platform services may back up application data depending on operating system behavior, account settings, and backup configuration.

As a result, some locally stored app data may remain available through:

- cloud backup,

- device transfer,

- restore operations,

- platform-level recovery tools.

If you want stronger privacy control, you should review your Android backup settings and understand that deleting information from the app may not instantly remove all historical copies from backup systems managed outside the app itself.

## 12. Data Retention

Data is generally retained until:

- you delete specific entries,

- you use the in-app clear-data function,

- you clear app storage through device settings,

- you uninstall the app,

- your device removes the data,

- backup copies expire or are overwritten under external platform rules.

Consent records, reminder settings, and certain technical preferences may remain stored locally until removed.

Retention by third-party providers, if any, is governed by those third parties’ own policies.

## 13. Security

We take reasonable steps within the structure of the app to support privacy-conscious use, but no storage method, device, transmission path, SDK, or platform environment is completely secure.

The security of your information depends in part on:

- your device security,

- your operating system version and updates,

- your backup settings,

- your notification privacy settings,

- the security of third-party providers integrated into the app,

- the way you personally use the app.

You should not rely on the app as a guaranteed secure vault for extremely sensitive personal information.

## 14. International Use and Data Transfers

The app may be offered globally.

Although core app entries are generally intended to stay on the user’s device, third-party providers used by the app, including advertising and platform services, may process data in countries other than the country where the user is located.

By using the app, you understand that third-party processing may involve international data transfers under the applicable terms of those providers.

## 15. Legal Bases and Consent

Where required by applicable law, information may be processed on one or more of the following bases:

- to provide the services requested by the user,

- to operate and secure the app,

- to comply with legal obligations,

- for legitimate interests such as service stability, fraud prevention, and configuration management,

- based on user consent where consent is legally required.

Where consent is requested, users may withdraw or change certain choices by adjusting app settings, device settings, permission settings, ad consent settings where available, or by discontinuing use of the app.

Withdrawal of consent does not necessarily affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.

## 16. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

- access personal data,

- correct inaccurate data,

- request deletion,

- object to certain processing,

- restrict certain processing,

- withdraw consent,

- request portability where applicable.

Because the app’s core content is mainly stored on your device, many privacy choices can be exercised directly by you through:

- editing entries,

- deleting entries,

- clearing all app data,

- uninstalling the app,

- disabling notifications,

- adjusting Android permissions,

- changing backup settings.

If you have a request that cannot be resolved through device-level controls, you may contact us using the contact details below.

## 17. Children’s Privacy

The app is not intended for children who are not legally able to provide valid consent under the laws that apply to them.

If you are not old enough to consent to use this app in your jurisdiction, you should not use it.

If a parent or guardian believes a child used the app inappropriately, they should remove the app and clear the app’s local data from the device.

## 18. Third-Party Policies

Third-party services used by the app may have their own privacy policies and legal disclosures.

For example, advertising-related processing may be governed in part by Google’s own privacy and advertising documentation. Users should review relevant third-party policies where appropriate.

We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party companies, apps, networks, or websites.

## 19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:

- changes in app features,

- changes in third-party integrations,

- legal or regulatory developments,

- operational or security updates,

- changes in data handling practices.

When appropriate, we may update the effective date, publish the revised policy, request renewed consent in-app, or take other steps reasonably designed to notify users.

Continued use of the app after an updated version becomes effective may be treated as acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by law.

## 20. Contact Information

If you have questions, requests, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or privacy-related matters, you may contact:

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the app and remove it from your device.
