Privacy Policy for "How Many People Paid?"
Last updated: April 5, 2026
Introduction This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use "How Many People Paid?" ("the App").
Information We Collect The App collects minimal, anonymous data to power its real-time statistics:
Anonymous usage data: When you make a purchase or watch a rewarded ad, we record the event along with your general country (determined by your device locale), the platform you are using, and a timestamp. This data is used to generate the aggregate statistics displayed in the App.
Device identifier: We generate an anonymous, random identifier on your device to track your participation status (e.g., whether you have already made a purchase). This identifier is not linked to your personal identity.
No personal information: We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, or any other personally identifiable information.
How We Use Your Data All collected data is used exclusively to:
Display real-time aggregate statistics within the App (total payments, country leaderboards, time-based patterns)
Determine your anonymous rank among participants
Improve the App experience
Third-Party Services The App uses the following third-party services:
Firebase: For anonymous authentication, real-time database, and cloud functions. See Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy
Rewarded advertising: We use rewarded ads as an alternative access method. Ad providers may collect device information as described in their respective privacy policies.
Apple App Store: For processing in-app purchases on iOS. See Apple's privacy policy at https://www.apple.com/privacy/
Data Storage and Security All data is stored securely on cloud servers. We use industry-standard security measures to protect the data we collect. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, the risk to your privacy is minimal.
Children's Privacy The App is rated 4+ and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children or any other users.
Data Retention Anonymous usage data is retained indefinitely as it forms the aggregate statistics that are core to the App's functionality. Since this data is not personally identifiable, it cannot be linked back to individual users.
Your Rights Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. If you have any concerns, please contact us.
