Privacy Policy for Divine Mercy Chaplet

Last Updated: May 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how NewJ Apps ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use the Divine Mercy Chaplet mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We prioritize your privacy and aim to collect minimal data.

  • Automatically Collected Information: The App may collect non-personally identifiable information provided by your device, such as:
    • Advertising ID: Used by third-party ad networks (Google AdMob) to provide personalized advertisements. You can reset or opt out of this in your Android device settings.
    • Device Information: Including device model, operating system version, and network state (to ensure the app functions correctly while offline or online).
  • In-App Purchases: If you make an in-app purchase, the financial transaction is processed directly by the Google Play Store. We do not store or have access to your credit card numbers, bank account details, or payment credentials.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information collected to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the App's functionality (e.g., audio playback, bead counter, and prayer notifications).
  • Display advertisements via Google AdMob to support the free nature of this App.
  • Manage in-app purchases and unlock premium features as requested by the user.
  • Ensure the App remains compatible with your device configuration.

3. Third-Party Services

We utilize third-party services that may collect information used to identify you:

  • Google AdMob: Our App uses Google AdMob for advertising. Google uses cookies and mobile identifiers to serve ads based on your visit to our app and other apps. You can learn how Google uses your data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
  • Google Play Billing: Used for processing secure payments. Your payment data is handled exclusively by Google, and we do not receive your sensitive financial data.

4. Permissions Used

The App requires the following permissions to function:

  • INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: To load ads and verify in-app purchases.
  • FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK: Necessary to ensure audio prayers continue to play correctly, even when the device screen is off or the App is in the background.
  • POST_NOTIFICATIONS / RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: To provide you with timely prayer reminders.
  • AD_ID: Used solely for advertising purposes.

5. Security

We do not collect or store user personal profiles, location data, or sensitive content. Because we do not store sensitive information on our own servers, the risk of data breaches is significantly mitigated.

6. Children’s Privacy

This App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
