  • Session duration and frequency
  • Navigation patterns within the app
  • Device events and crash data

We do not use cookies to track you across different websites or apps. Our analytics are used solely for improving our Services and user experience, and data collected through these platforms is handled according to their respective privacy policies and our agreements with them.

12.1 Advertising Attribution via SKAdNetwork

We use Apple's SKAdNetwork framework in combination with Meta/Facebook for privacy-preserving advertising attribution. Here's what you need to know:

What is SKAdNetwork? SKAdNetwork is Apple's privacy-focused attribution framework that allows advertisers to measure the success of ad campaigns without compromising user privacy. It works at the operating system level and does not share any personal identifiers.

How We Use It:

  • Install Attribution: When you install Cosmix from a Meta/Facebook advertisement, Apple's SKAdNetwork automatically and anonymously notifies Meta that an install occurred. This happens without any action from us and without sharing any information that identifies you personally.
  • Purchase Attribution: When you complete a subscription purchase, we send an anonymous purchase event to Meta through the Facebook SDK. This helps Meta optimize ad delivery to show our ads to users who are more likely to be interested in subscribing.

Your Privacy is Protected:

  • No ATT Prompt: We do NOT use App Tracking Transparency (ATT) or request permission to track you. Our SDK is explicitly configured to prevent tracking requests.
  • No Cross-App Tracking: SKAdNetwork does not track your activity across other apps or websites.
  • No Personal Identifiers: Neither Apple nor Meta receives information that personally identifies you (such as your name, email, phone number, or device ID) through SKAdNetwork.
  • Privacy by Design: SKAdNetwork is built by Apple with privacy protections, including delayed and anonymized reporting.

Cannot Opt-Out: Because SKAdNetwork operates at the iOS system level and does not process personal data or track you across apps, there is no opt-out mechanism. However, this framework is designed to be privacy-preserving by default and complies with Apple's strict privacy standards.

Data Shared with Meta:

  • Anonymous install signals (you installed the app from an ad, but not who you are)
  • Anonymous purchase conversion events (a purchase occurred, but not who made it)
  • Campaign performance data (which ads are effective, in aggregate)

For more information about SKAdNetwork, please visit Apple's documentation at: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skadnetwork

12.2 Android Advertising ID

We use Google's Advertising ID on Android devices in combination with Meta/Facebook's advertising platform for advertising attribution and optimization. Here's what you need to know:

What is the Google Advertising ID? The Google Advertising ID (GAID) is a unique, user-resettable identifier provided by Google Play services. It allows advertisers and ad networks to track ad performance and deliver personalized advertisements while giving you control over your advertising experience.

How We Use It:

  • Install Attribution: When you install Cosmix from a Meta/Facebook advertisement on your Android device, we collect your Advertising ID to attribute the install to the specific ad campaign. This helps us understand which advertising channels are most effective.
  • Purchase Attribution: When you complete a subscription purchase, we send your Advertising ID along with the purchase event to Meta/Facebook. This helps optimize ad delivery to show our ads to users who are more likely to be interested in subscribing.
  • Campaign Optimization: We use the Advertising ID to analyze how users from different ad campaigns interact with our app, allowing us to improve our advertising strategies.
  • Personalized Advertising: Your Advertising ID enables Meta/Facebook to deliver more relevant advertisements to you across their platforms based on your interests and interactions.

Your Privacy Controls:

  • Reset Your Advertising ID: You can reset your Advertising ID at any time, which disassociates your device from previous advertising activity. Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Ads and select "Reset advertising ID".
  • Delete Your Advertising ID: You can completely delete your Advertising ID, which prevents apps from accessing it for advertising purposes. Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Ads and select "Delete advertising ID".
  • Opt Out of Personalization: You can opt out of personalized advertising while keeping your Advertising ID. Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Ads and enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization".

What Happens When You Opt Out:

  • Opting out will not prevent you from seeing advertisements, but the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests
  • We will still collect your Advertising ID for basic attribution purposes unless you delete it entirely
  • Your opt-out preference applies to all apps that respect Google's advertising policies

Data Shared with Meta/Facebook:

  • Your Google Advertising ID
  • Install events (that you installed the app)
  • Purchase conversion events (that a purchase occurred and the purchase value)
  • Campaign identifiers (which ad you clicked on)
  • Interaction data (how you engage with the app after installation)

Cannot Opt Out of Attribution: If you choose to keep your Advertising ID (even with personalization opt-out), we will still use it for basic install and purchase attribution. To completely stop Advertising ID collection, you must delete your Advertising ID through your device settings.

Data Retention: We retain Advertising ID data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, typically:

  • Active users: For the duration of your account plus 90 days
  • Attribution data: Up to 2 years for campaign analysis and optimization
  • After account deletion: We anonymize or delete your Advertising ID within 30 days
