DS1 Guide — Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 20, 2026

Summary

DS1 Guide does not require an account and does not upload your checklist progress to the developer. The app displays advertising, offers a one-time Remove Ads purchase, and loads some item images from third-party hosts.

Data stored on your device

Your checklist progress, preferences, prompts already shown, and ad-removal status are stored locally on your device. Images may also be cached on your device. This app-managed data is not uploaded to the developer. Operating-system backup and restore behavior depends on your device settings.

Advertising and consent

DS1 Guide uses Google Mobile Ads to display interstitial advertisements. The app requests non-personalized ads and presents consent choices where required. On iOS, the app may ask for tracking permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You may decline that permission and continue using the app.

Google and its advertising partners may process device identifiers, IP address, advertising interactions, diagnostics, and related information to provide, secure, measure, and limit ads according to your consent choices and their policies. Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy.

Purchases

The optional Remove Ads purchase is processed by Apple App Store or Google Play and managed in the app through RevenueCat. The developer does not receive your full payment-card details. Store and purchase services may process account identifiers, purchase status, transaction identifiers, device information, and diagnostics to complete purchases, restore access, prevent fraud, and provide support. Learn more in Apple's Privacy Policy, Google's Privacy Policy, and RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

Images, sources, and external links

Some item images load from attributed wiki or image-hosting servers. Those requests disclose your IP address and normal network request information to the image host, but do not include your saved checklist progress. If you choose to open a source, support, rating, or feedback link, your device connects to the selected service under that service's privacy practices.

Children's privacy

DS1 Guide is a reference tool and is not directed to children. The developer does not knowingly request personal information from children.

Policy changes

If a future release changes these practices, this policy and the relevant store disclosures will be updated before that release.
