FizzFree Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 October 2026
This policy explains what information the FizzFree app ("FizzFree", "the app", "we", "us") uses, why, who else is involved, and the rights you have. It applies to FizzFree on iPhone, iPad and Android.
1. Who is responsible for your data
FizzFree is made by John Osakwe (Etest), Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, the data controller for the processing described here.
Contact for anything about privacy, including requests to use your rights: info@etestweb.com
2. The short version
- There is no account and no sign-up. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number.
- Your quitting data (check-ins, streak, savings, cravings, goals, your "why" and its photo) is stored only on your device. We don't receive it.
- The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. In the EU, UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent before ads are personalised. On iPhone and iPad, Apple's "Allow tracking" prompt also applies. FizzFree Premium has no ads.
- If you buy FizzFree Premium, Apple or Google handles the payment, and RevenueCat confirms your purchase so the app can unlock Premium.
- We do not sell your personal information.
3. Data that stays on your device
Everything you enter is saved in the app's private storage on your device and is not sent to us or anyone else: your settings (drink type and size, cost, currency, reminder times), daily check-ins and slips, streak and savings figures, logged cravings with their triggers, savings goals, morning pledges, guided program progress, and your personal reason for quitting and any photo you attach to it.
- Backups: if you create a backup, the app makes a file and hands it to your device's share sheet. You decide where it's saved (for example iCloud Drive, Files or Google Drive). We never receive it.
- App lock: Face ID, Touch ID and fingerprint checks are performed by your device's operating system. The app only learns whether the check succeeded. We never receive biometric data.
- Reminders are scheduled on your device as local notifications. We don't run a notification server.
- Deleting the app deletes all of this data from your device.
4. Data handled by third parties
Advertising — Google AdMob
In the free version, ads are provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC; for users in the EEA and Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited). To show and measure ads, prevent fraud, and limit how often you see the same ad, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may process your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS if you allow tracking, or the Android advertising ID), your IP address (which can indicate your approximate location), device and app information, and how you interact with ads.
- Personalised ads are shown only with your consent: through the consent message shown in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, and on iPhone/iPad only if you allow tracking. Without consent you see non-personalised ads, which still use limited data for the purposes above.
- You can change your choice at any time in the app under Settings → Privacy choices, in your device's settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads), or by deleting your advertising ID.
- Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy — How Google uses data from partner apps: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- Premium users don't see ads, and the ads SDK isn't started for them.
Purchases — Apple, Google and RevenueCat
Payments for FizzFree Premium are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own terms and privacy policies. We never see your card or payment details.
To confirm what you've bought and unlock Premium (including "Restore purchase"), the app uses RevenueCat, Inc. (USA). RevenueCat processes a random app user ID created on your device, your purchase and subscription history (product, dates, trial and renewal status, receipts or purchase tokens from Apple or Google), and basic device and app information such as the operating system, app version, country and IP address. RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
Usage analytics — TelemetryDeck
FizzFree may use TelemetryDeck (TelemetryDeck GmbH, Germany) for privacy-focused, anonymous usage statistics, such as which screen offered Premium and whether a purchase completed. It uses a random identifier created on your device, hashed before it leaves the device. No name, email, advertising ID or location is sent, and the data can't be used to identify you. TelemetryDeck's privacy policy: https://telemetrydeck.com/privacy/
App stores
Apple and Google may provide us with aggregated, anonymous statistics (such as download counts and crash rates) under their own privacy policies.
5. Why we use data, and our legal basis (GDPR)
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Providing Premium and restoring purchases | RevenueCat data in §4 | Performance of a contract (6(1)(b)) |
| Personalised ads | Advertising ID, ad interaction data | Your consent (6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time |
| Non-personalised ads, ad fraud prevention, frequency capping | Limited device data, IP address | Our legitimate interest in funding a free app (6(1)(f)), and consent where the law requires it |
| Anonymous usage statistics | TelemetryDeck data in §4 | Our legitimate interest in improving the app (6(1)(f)) |
| Responding to your emails | Your email address and message | Legitimate interest (6(1)(f)) |
We do not process special-category health data. The information you enter about your drinking habits stays on your device and is never sent to us.
6. International transfers
Google and RevenueCat may process data in the United States and other countries outside your own. Where data from the EEA, UK or Switzerland is transferred, these providers rely on recognised safeguards such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. How long data is kept
- Data on your device: until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app.
- RevenueCat purchase records: for as long as needed to provide your purchases and meet legal and tax obligations, then deleted under RevenueCat's retention policy.
- Advertising data: under Google's retention policies.
- Anonymous analytics: kept in aggregate; it isn't linked to you.
- Emails to us: up to two years after the conversation ends.
8. Your rights
If you're in the EEA, UK or Switzerland (GDPR / UK GDPR), in Nigeria (Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023) or in another place with similar laws, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you
- correct it
- delete it ("right to be forgotten")
- restrict or object to its processing, including processing based on legitimate interest
- data portability: your in-app data can be exported at any time as a backup file
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing (Settings → Privacy choices)
- complain to a data protection authority, such as the one in your country (in the UK, the ICO; in Nigeria, the NDPC)
Because there's no account, we can't link data to you by name. To make a request about RevenueCat purchase data, email us from the address on your App Store / Google Play receipt, or include your purchase's order ID, and we will act on it within one month. Requests about advertising data can also be made directly to Google.
US residents: we don't sell personal information. Personalised advertising may count as "sharing" under some US state laws. You can opt out with your device's ad settings or the in-app privacy choices described above.
9. Children
FizzFree is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and we don't knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has used the app in a way that sent us personal data, contact us and we'll delete it.
10. Security
Your quitting data never leaves your device unless you export a backup yourself. Data shared with RevenueCat, Google and TelemetryDeck is transmitted over encrypted connections. You can add a Face ID or fingerprint lock to the app.
11. Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll also mention it in the app's release notes.
