Pathnum Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-10-22
Pathnum is a numerology app that calculates your numerology chart, a daily personal-day reading and compatibility between people from names and birth dates (the "app"). It is provided by DDJ A1 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Pathnum has no account system and we do not run a server for it.
Data stored on your device
The names, optional birth names and birth dates you enter for yourself and for people you add, along with reminder times and app settings, are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us. All numerology calculations run on your device, and the reading texts are built into the app. Your optional birth name is used only for the calculation and is never displayed in the app. Uninstalling the app deletes this data from your device. If device backup is turned on, Android's standard app backup may include this data in your own Google account backup. That backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.
Sharing
When you use Share (for example a daily-number card, a number card or a compatibility card), the app hands the content to the app you pick in the Android share sheet. Shared cards show display names and numbers only, never birth names or full birth dates. The app does not upload anything by itself.
Permissions the app asks for and why
- Notifications (optional). Used for the morning note with today's personal day and an optional evening reminder. You can decline and every feature still works.
- Run at startup. Lets reminders and the home screen widget come back after your phone restarts or the time zone changes.
- Internet access and the advertising identifier (AD_ID). Used only by the advertising components described below. Numerology calculations work offline.
The app does not use the camera, the microphone, location permission or your contacts.
Information collected automatically
When you use the app, third-party SDKs used for advertising may collect some information automatically, including:
- Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which may be used to estimate your approximate (general) location
- Device or other identifiers, such as your device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID) and app set ID
- App interactions, such as session time, screens viewed, and ad views and taps
- Crash logs and diagnostic information, such as your device's operating system and model, and ad performance data
The advertising SDK collects this information and shares it with Google (AdMob) and its advertising partners for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, security and compliance. It is encrypted in transit. The app itself does not send names, birth dates or readings off your device, and we do not link the advertising data to them.
Advertising
The app shows advertisements from Google AdMob:
- a banner at the bottom of the main screens
- an ad when the app starts
- full-screen ads only at natural pauses, for example when a compatibility result opens
To serve ads, AdMob and its partners may access your device's Advertising ID and the information described above. In the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and other regions where required, the app shows a consent form through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used. If you decline, you are shown non-personalized ads instead. You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads), and you can change your consent choice from the app's Settings screen.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use partners' apps, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Children
Pathnum is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Your data exists only on your device, so you control it directly: you can edit or delete any person at any time, and uninstalling the app removes everything the app stored. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EEA/UK or the CCPA in California), you may also have rights over data processed by advertising SDKs. You can exercise your ad choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings described above.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
