Revision Date: 02 Oct 2018
In very simple words:
My name is Rishabh Bhardwaj and I am an individual application developer. I run this app as a side hobby project. I do not and will never share personal user data. I deeply respect cyber privacy. The lifehacks app sends crash logs and general anonymous analytics from every user. Additionally, I collect your email address and name when you decide to sign up via Gmail to submit lifehacks. This is done for me to filter out users and not allow them to post bad things into the community. Hope this answers most questions. If not, please read on. If it doesn't further help, please write to me at the email address mentioned below.
In far more legal and formal words:
Rishabh Bhardwaj built the Lifehacks app as an Ad Supported app. It currently does not support in-app purchases. The Lifehacks service is provided by Rishabh Bhardwaj at no cost and is intended for use as is.
This page is used to inform visitors regarding my policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use the service, Lifehacks.
If you choose to use lifehacks, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that I collect is used for providing and improving the app. I will not use or share your information with anyone at all, ever.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which is accessible at www.rish.space/lifehacks/terms-and-conditions.
Information Collection and Use
For a better experience while using Lifehacks, I may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to email addresses of user submitted lifehacks. The lifehacks submitted by each of the users is sent to a server hosted on the cloud which I use to filter offensive lifehacks / ban future submissions by the offenders.
The app does use third party services that may collect information used to identify you.

When you install Lifehacks, we generate a random unique ID for you which gets tagged to your device.This unique ID is used to identify you as a user by Lifehacks and save your bookmarked content on server. You may also sign-in on Lifehacks through an account you already have with Google. When you sign-in on Lifehacks through Google, we ask for your full name, email id, google account id and profile picture(collectively referred as “Personal Data”). All this information is used to set up your profile and create an account on our servers where you may back up your content. We receive some other information automatically when you use Lifehacks. This includes data about your device, software, operating system, user-specific advertising IDs for advertisement tracking, your IP address and the date and time of each request you would make to Lifehacks. In order to enhance your experience on Lifehacks, we also collect information about how you interact with the content cards and advertisements on Lifehacks.
Log Data
I want to inform you that whenever you use Lifehacks, in a case of an error in the app I collect data and information (through third party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing lifehacks, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.
This Service does not use these “cookies” explicitly. However, the app may use third party code and libraries that use “cookies” to collect information and improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.
Service Providers
I employ third-party companies, specifically, Google and services provided by Google such as:
I want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.
Security
I value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Therefore, I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the case I discover that a child under 13 has provided me with personal information, I immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact me so that I will be able to do necessary actions.
