PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy describes how Quiz Legend (Pty) Ltd ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our mobile application, Status Link (the "App"), or visit our website at https://statuslinkapp.com/.[cite: 2]
We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how information is handled when you use Status Link.[cite: 2]
1. Information We Collect
Status Link is designed to operate without user accounts or user profiles. We therefore aim to minimize the information collected directly by the App.[cite: 2]
User Content and Media
Status Link allows you to select, create, edit, save, and share images, videos, captions, quotes, and other status content.[cite: 2]
Your personal media and status designs are processed and stored locally on your device. Status Link does not upload or store your personal images, videos, status designs, captions, or other user-generated media on our servers.[cite: 2]
When you choose to share content with another application, such as WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, the content is transferred according to your explicit sharing action and the receiving application's own privacy practices.[cite: 2]
Status Link may use remote services to provide app content such as templates, static resources, and metadata, but these services are not intended to store your personal media or user profile.[cite: 2]
Device and Usage Information
Depending on the services and third-party SDKs enabled in the App, third-party service providers may process technical information such as:[cite: 2]
- IP address[cite: 2]
- Device type and model[cite: 2]
- Operating system and version[cite: 2]
- Advertising identifiers, such as the Android Advertising ID[cite: 2]
- App installation or device identifiers[cite: 2]
- App interactions and usage information[cite: 2]
- Diagnostic and performance information[cite: 2]
- Subscription and purchase information[cite: 2]
This information may be processed by third-party providers to provide advertising, subscription services, notifications, analytics, fraud prevention, security, and other services required for the operation of the App.[cite: 2]

3. Third-Party Services
Status Link uses third-party services to provide certain functionality. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable terms.[cite: 2]
Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)
Status Link uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display advertisements.[cite: 2]
Depending on the advertising configuration, applicable consent requirements, and the services enabled, Google may process information such as:[cite: 2]
- IP address[cite: 2]
- Advertising identifiers[cite: 2]
- App/device identifiers[cite: 2]
- App interactions[cite: 2]
- Advertising-related information[cite: 2]
- Diagnostic information[cite: 2]
This information may be used for purposes including advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, security, and service improvement.[cite: 2]
Google Mobile Ads data is transmitted using security measures including encryption in transit where supported.[cite: 2]
Users may have controls over advertising personalization and advertising identifiers through their Android device settings and applicable consent mechanisms.[cite: 2]
Google's current developer documentation confirms that the Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically process IP address, user interactions, diagnostic information, and device/account identifiers for advertising, analytics, and fraud-prevention purposes.[cite: 2]
RevenueCat and Google Play Billing
Status Link uses RevenueCat to manage subscriptions and premium entitlements and Google Play Billing to process purchases made through Google Play.[cite: 2]
RevenueCat may process technical information, subscription information, transaction information, and Google Play purchase information necessary to provide subscription-management services.[cite: 2]
This may include information such as:[cite: 2]
- Device type[cite: 2]
- Operating system[cite: 2]
- App usage/last-seen information[cite: 2]
- Subscription status[cite: 2]
- Purchase information[cite: 2]
- Google Play purchase tokens[cite: 2]
- Anonymous app user or installation identifiers where applicable[cite: 2]
Payment card numbers and other payment credentials are handled by Google Play and are not stored by Status Link.[cite: 2]
RevenueCat's documentation confirms that its services may receive end-user technical information and transaction information such as Google purchase tokens when used by an app developer.[cite: 2]
Supabase
Status Link uses Supabase to host and deliver certain app content, such as template metadata, static resources, and other content required by the App.[cite: 2]
Status Link does not intentionally use Supabase to store users' personal media, personal status designs, user profiles, or account information.[cite: 2]
Where applicable, information transmitted to Supabase is handled according to Supabase's security practices and privacy policy.[cite: 2]
Firebase and Push Notifications
Status Link may use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) or other Firebase services to deliver push notifications and app-related messages.[cite: 2]
Firebase services may process information necessary to identify an individual installation of the App and deliver messages or provide the enabled Firebase functionality.[cite: 2]
Depending on the Firebase services enabled in the App, Firebase may use app installation identifiers associated with a particular device or app installation.[cite: 2]
Firebase documentation explains that Cloud Messaging and other Firebase services can use identifiers associated with individual app installations.[cite: 2]
If additional Firebase services such as Analytics, Crashlytics, or Remote Config are enabled in future versions of Status Link, this Privacy Policy and the Google Play Data Safety declaration may be updated accordingly.[cite: 2]
4. Advertising and Consent
Status Link may display advertisements to users of the free version of the App.[cite: 2]
Premium subscribers may receive an advertising-free experience according to the premium subscription benefits presented in the App.[cite: 2]
Where applicable, advertising personalization and consent choices are handled through Google's available consent mechanisms and Android device controls.[cite: 2]
The availability and personalization of advertisements may vary depending on the user's location, device settings, consent choices, and applicable laws.[cite: 2]
5. Local Storage and User Content
Status Link is designed so that user-created media and status designs remain on the user's device.[cite: 2]
This may include:[cite: 2]
- Images[cite: 2]
- Videos[cite: 2]
- Captions[cite: 2]
- Quotes[cite: 2]
- Text overlays[cite: 2]
- Edited status designs[cite: 2]
- Locally stored templates[cite: 2]
- App preferences and configuration[cite: 2]
These files are not intentionally uploaded to Status Link's servers.[cite: 2]
Users can manage locally stored App data through Android's app controls. Removing the App or clearing its data may remove locally stored content, subject to Android's operating-system behavior and any files the user has independently saved outside the App.[cite: 2]
When users intentionally share content with another application, such as WhatsApp, the receiving application may retain or process that content according to its own policies.[cite: 2]
6. Account Creation and User Profiles
Status Link does not currently require users to create an account, register an account, or maintain a cloud-based user profile.[cite: 2]
Users can use the App as guests.[cite: 2]
Status Link does not maintain a traditional user account database containing user profiles, personal media libraries, or user-generated status histories on our servers.[cite: 2]
Subscription and purchase services may nevertheless process the technical and transaction information necessary to provide premium functionality.[cite: 2]
7. Data Sharing
Status Link does not sell users' personal media or user-generated status content.[cite: 2]
Information may be processed or shared with third-party service providers where necessary to provide App functionality, including:[cite: 2]
- Google Mobile Ads for advertising services[cite: 2]
- Google Play for purchase processing[cite: 2]
- RevenueCat for subscription and entitlement management[cite: 2]
- Supabase for applicable app content and infrastructure[cite: 2]
- Firebase for applicable notification and Firebase services[cite: 2]
Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies, contractual obligations, and applicable laws.[cite: 2]
We may also disclose information where required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental authority, or where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, services, or property.[cite: 2]
8. Data Retention and Deletion
Local Data
User-created media and locally stored App information remain on the user's device.[cite: 2]
Users can remove locally stored App data through Android's app controls or by uninstalling the App, subject to the operating system's data-handling behavior.[cite: 2]
Third-Party Data
Information processed by third-party providers such as Google, RevenueCat, Supabase, and Firebase may be retained according to their respective retention policies and applicable legal requirements.[cite: 2]
Because Status Link does not maintain traditional user accounts or store users' personal media on its own servers, there is generally no Status Link cloud account or personal media library that users need to request deletion of.[cite: 2]
For privacy-related requests concerning information processed by third-party providers, users may contact us using the information provided below and we will assist where reasonably possible.[cite: 2]
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through Status Link and the third-party services used by the App.[cite: 2]
Where supported by the relevant service, information transmitted between the App and third-party services is protected using encryption in transit, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS).[cite: 2]
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.[cite: 2]
10. Children's Privacy
Status Link is not directed toward children.[cite: 2]
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.[cite: 2]
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us through Status Link or our services, please contact us at admin@statuslinkapp.com so that we can investigate the matter and take appropriate action.[cite: 2]
11. Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, including laws such as the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in South Africa, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in applicable jurisdictions, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) where applicable, you may have rights concerning your personal information.[cite: 2]
Depending on the applicable law, these may include:[cite: 2]
- The right to know what personal information is processed.[cite: 2]
- The right to request access to applicable personal information.[cite: 2]
- The right to request correction of inaccurate information.[cite: 2]
- The right to request deletion of applicable personal information.[cite: 2]
- The right to object to or restrict certain processing.[cite: 2]
- The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.[cite: 2]
- Rights relating to personalized advertising or certain forms of profiling.[cite: 2]
Because Status Link does not maintain traditional user accounts or store users' personal media on its own servers, many user-created files can be managed directly through the user's device.[cite: 2]
You may submit privacy-related inquiries or requests by contacting: admin@statuslinkapp.com[cite: 2]
We will review and respond to requests in accordance with applicable law.[cite: 2]
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Status Link, our services, third-party providers, applicable laws, or our privacy practices.[cite: 2]
When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this Privacy Policy.[cite: 2]
The latest version will be made available at: https://statuslinkapp.com/[cite: 2]
