1) Scope & Controller

This Policy covers WatchDeck mobile applications and the domains we operate, including watchdeckapp.com. If you access third-party content or services through our app (e.g., ad networks, analytics), their privacy policies apply to their processing.

Usage data: app screens you view, interactions (e.g., scrolls, taps), session timestamps, referrers.
Device & diagnostics: device model, OS version, language/region, IP address (derived), crash logs, performance metrics.

Cookies & similar: our website may use cookies/local storage for essential features, analytics and remembering preferences.

c) Information from partners

Analytics: aggregated usage metrics that help us understand app performance and stability.
Advertising: ad networks provide reports about ad impressions, clicks, and conversions (non-premium experience).

3) How We Use Information
