Plaitly Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-21

Plaitly — a hairstyle tutorial app that splits easy hairstyles into simple picture steps you follow at your own pace, suggests a style for your hair length each day, and lets you save favorites and keep a record of styles you've tried ("the app") — is provided by DDJ A1 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Plaitly has no account system and we do not operate a server for it.

Data stored on your device

Your hair length setting, the styles you saved, the dates and styles you marked as tried, and your app settings are stored only on your device and are not transmitted to us. All hairstyle content is built into the app, so following a tutorial works offline. Uninstalling the app deletes this data from your device. Android's standard app backup may include this data in your own Google account backup if you have device backup enabled; that backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Permissions the app asks for and why

• Notifications (optional). To send a morning hairstyle idea and an evening heads-up. You can decline; every feature still works.
• Run at startup. So the daily reminders are restored after your phone restarts or the time zone changes.
• Vibration. For the reminder alert style you choose in Settings.
• Internet access and the advertising identifier (AD_ID). Used only by the advertising components described below. Tutorials, favorites and your history work offline.

The app does not use the camera, the microphone, your photos, your location permission or your contacts.

Information collected automatically

When you use the app, certain information may be collected automatically by third-party SDKs used for advertising. This may include:

• 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 the mobile operating system and device model you use and ad performance data

This information is collected by the advertising SDK and shared with Google (AdMob) and its advertising partners for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention, security and compliance purposes. It is encrypted in transit. The app itself does not send your saved styles or history off your device, and we do not link the advertising data to them.

Advertising

The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of the screens, an ad when the app starts, and full-screen ads only at natural pauses (when you open a hairstyle and after you finish one). No ads are shown while you are following the steps of a hairstyle. To serve ads, AdMob and its partners may access your device's Advertising ID and the information described above. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and other regions where required, the app presents a consent form via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown 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

Plaitly is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Because your saved styles and history exist only on your device, you are in direct control of them: you can remove a saved style at any time, and uninstalling the app removes everything the app stored. Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR in the EEA/UK, CCPA in California), you may also have rights regarding data processed by advertising SDKs; you can exercise ad-related 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.
