Children

 

Help-Pal is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.

 

Not professional advice

 

Some apps and articles cover health, money, or taxes. They are for general information and personal tracking only. They are not medical, financial, tax, or legal advice.

If you switch phones or clear your browser, you may lose it, so use the export or backup feature in apps that offer one.

 

Some apps offer an optional free account so your data can sync between devices. If you create one, we use your email address only to run that app. Accounts are optional in these apps, and each app's privacy page explains what it stores.

Our hosting

 

This website is built with Webador, which may also collect basic visitor statistics and set cookies needed to run the site. Our apps are hosted on Netlify. These providers may keep technical logs such as IP addresses for security and operation.

 

Cookies

 

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. The cookies on our sites come from the services above (Google AdSense, Google Analytics, and our hosting). You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the sites may not work as expected if you do.

 

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices/. To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

 

Ads you see may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your settings and where you live. In some regions, you may be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown.

 

Analytics (Google Analytics)

 

We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages they use. Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies and collects information such as the pages you view, your device and browser type, your approximate location, and how you arrived at the site. This helps us fix problems and decide what to build next. We do not use it to identify you personally. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

 

Information the apps keep on your device

 

Most Help-Pal apps store what you enter (weights, logs, income, notes, and similar) in your own browser's local storage, on your own device. We don't receive that data. It stays there until you clear your browser's site data or delete it inside the app.

 

This policy covers the Help-Pal website at help-pal-apps.com and, in general terms, the free Help-Pal apps linked from it. Some apps have their own privacy page with more detail, and where they do, that page applies to that app.

 

The short version

 

Help-Pal is free and supported by ads. We don't charge subscriptions and we don't sell your personal information. Most apps store what you enter on your own device. We use Google Analytics to see how the sites are used, and Google AdSense to show ads.
