Signtide Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-11-03
Signtide is a moon sign calendar: it shows which zodiac sign the Moon is in right now and when it moves into the next one, a monthly calendar of moon signs and phases, the Moon sign on your birth date, reminders and a home screen widget (the "app"). It is provided by DDJ A1 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Signtide has no account system and we do not run a server for it. All moon positions are calculated on your device.
Data stored on your device
Your settings (zodiac system, time format, hemisphere, reminder choices) and the birth date and optional birth time you enter on the My Moon screen are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us. 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 a result card
When you tap Share on a result, the app creates the card on your device and opens the Android share sheet. Nothing is sent unless you choose an app to share it with; what happens next is up to that app.
Permissions the app asks for and why
- Notifications (optional). Used for the reminders you choose, such as a morning summary, the Moon entering a sign you picked, or a new or full moon. You can decline and every feature still works.
- Alarms and run at startup. Lets reminders and the home screen widget update at the right time and come back after your phone restarts or the time zone changes.
- Vibration. Used only for reminder notifications if you keep notification vibration on.
- Internet access and the advertising identifier (AD_ID). Used only by the advertising components described below. Everything else in the app works offline.
The app does not request your location, the camera, microphone, storage or media permissions, or your contacts. You never need to share your location: moon signs are the same everywhere on Earth at a given moment, and times are shown in your phone's time zone.
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 your birth date, settings or other app data 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 screens (not while you type your birth date)
- an ad when the app starts from the launcher
- full-screen ads only when you choose to open something: when you open a day's details in the calendar, and when you open a birth Moon sign result
- an ad in the exit dialog
- optional video ads you can choose to watch from Settings to see fewer ads for 24 hours
A full-screen ad never appears from the widget or a notification, or when you switch tabs. 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.
Entertainment and children
Moon signs are part of astrology and are provided for entertainment and self-reflection. They are not scientific, medical, financial or professional advice. Signtide 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 app data exists only on your device, so you control it directly: you can change or clear your birth date and settings in the app, 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.
