Privacy Policy
In short: AlokTips has no sign-up and never asks for your name, email or phone number. We collect a small amount of technical and usage information to run the app, send the notifications you allow, process subscriptions and show ads. We do not sell your personal information.
1. Who we are
AlokTips (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a football statistics and predictions app operated by InMessage Digital Ltd. InMessage Digital Ltd is the controller of the personal information described here. Contact us at support@inmessage.xyz.
2. Information we collect
| What | Why | Goes to |
|---|---|---|
| App and device information: a device identifier generated by your phone's operating system for our app, platform (iOS/Android), app version, and when you first and last opened the app. | Counting active users, keeping the app working across versions, fixing problems. | Our servers |
| Notification token (only if you allow notifications). | Sending tips, results and match alerts. | Google Firebase Cloud Messaging, our servers |
| Usage analytics: screens viewed and features used, device model, OS version, approximate country. | Understanding which features are useful and improving the app. | Google Analytics for Firebase |
| Purchase information: an anonymous customer ID, subscription status and transaction records. We never see your card or payment details. | Providing AlokTips Pro, restoring purchases. | Apple App Store / Google Play, RevenueCat |
| Advertising data: IP address, device and ad-interaction information, and — only where you allow it — an advertising identifier. | Showing ads to free users and measuring them. | Google AdMob |
| Approximate location from your IP address (country and currency only). | Showing amounts in your local currency in Rollover. Not stored by us. | ipapi.co (looked up from your device) |
We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photos, microphone, health or financial account information, and the app has no user accounts or chat. Your app settings (such as favourites and theme) are stored only on your device.
Advertising and tracking
On iPhone, AlokTips does not ask for permission to track you across other companies' apps and websites, so your device's advertising identifier is not shared with us or our ad partner. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent through Google's consent form before ads use personal data; you can change your choice at any time in the app under Settings → Ad privacy choices. AlokTips Pro subscribers see no ads.
3. How we use information
- To provide the app's features: daily picks, live scores, match pages, notifications and Pro.
- To keep the service secure and working, and to fix errors.
- To understand usage in aggregate and improve the app.
- To show and measure ads for free users.
- To meet legal obligations.
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on performing our contract with you (providing the app and Pro), our legitimate interests (security, improving the app, aggregate statistics), your consent (notifications, personalised ads) and legal obligations.
4. Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers that process it for us under their own privacy terms:
- Google Firebase — analytics, notifications and data storage (privacy)
- Google AdMob — advertising (privacy)
- RevenueCat — subscription management (privacy)
- Apple and Google — app distribution and payments
- Render and Hostinger — hosting of our servers
- ipapi.co — currency lookup from IP address (privacy)
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our users and service. We do not sell or rent personal information.
5. How long we keep it
We keep app and device records only as long as needed for the purposes above. Analytics data is kept according to our Firebase settings, and purchase records as long as required for accounting and legal purposes. You can ask us to delete your information at any time (see below).
6. Your choices and rights
- Notifications: turn them off in your phone's settings.
- Ads: change your ad consent in Settings → Ad privacy choices (shown where consent applies), reset your advertising ID in your phone's settings, or subscribe to Pro for no ads.
- Delete your data: email support@inmessage.xyz with the subject “Delete my data”. Because there are no accounts, include your device type and, if you subscribed, your App Store or Google Play order number so we can find your records. Uninstalling the app stops all further collection.
- Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your information, to object to or restrict processing, and to complain to your local data-protection authority.
7. Age requirement
AlokTips is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has used the app, contact us and we will delete the related information.
8. Security and international transfers
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Our providers may process information in countries other than yours; where required, they use recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
9. Changes
We may update this policy. We will change the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
