Quotein Privacy Policy

Introduction

Effective date: 24 November 2025

HMWN App (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides Quotein: Daily Quote Maker (“the App”) as a freemium application with ads. Quotein helps you write quotes, get daily inspiration, and create visual quote images. The App is offered “as is”.

Quotein is designed to work without a user account. Your quote designs are created on your device and, where technically possible, processed locally. We are not affiliated with any social media platform or author of third-party quotes. Only use text and materials that you own or have permission to use.

What data we process and how it’s used

Data you provide

    Text you type in the App (e.g., your own quotes, author name, captions) is used to generate quote designs and, where available, to save them locally (e.g., favorites or recent designs). We do not use your private quote content to build external user profiles.

    If you contact us for support (for example by email), we will process the contact details you provide (such as your email address) and the content of your message to assist you.

    Automatically collected data

      We may collect basic technical information such as device model, operating system version, app version, anonymized crash logs, and performance diagnostics. This helps us improve stability, performance, and user experience.

      If ads and/or analytics are enabled, advertising identifiers (e.g., Google Advertising ID), general location (country/region), and in-app event data may be processed by our service providers to deliver, measure, and improve ads and aggregated analytics.

      We do not collect precise GPS location and we do not require you to create an account to use the core features of the App.

      Purposes and legal bases (GDPR)

      • Provide core features: create, edit, and save quote designs; show daily quotes and content suggestions. Legal basis: Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) or Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).

      • App stability and security: use of crash logs, diagnostics, and limited technical data to maintain and improve the App and prevent abuse. Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).

      • Analytics (non-essential): understand aggregated usage patterns (e.g., which screens are most used) to improve UX and features. Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)); where required, consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).

      • Advertising: show in-app ads and, where available, personalize ad content based on your ad preferences and consent. Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) for personalized ads; legitimate interests/contract for non-personalized ad delivery.

      • Support and communication: respond to your requests, bug reports, or feedback. Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).

      Designs, quotes, and storage

      Quotein lets you create visual quote designs using text you enter and design options you choose. Where supported, your quote drafts, favorites, and design settings are stored locally on your device.

      When you export a quote, the App generates an image file and saves it to your device using Android’s scoped storage (e.g., Pictures or a similar media folder). We do not request broad file access (no MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE).

      Generated images and any exported content remain on your device or in the location where you choose to share them (e.g., social media, messaging apps) until you delete them. We do not maintain cloud-based user galleries by default.

      Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by the App?

      We may share limited data with third-party service providers strictly to operate and improve the App (for example, ads, analytics, and crash reporting). These providers are required to process data under contractual safeguards and must not use it for unrelated purposes.

      We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or regulation, in response to valid legal requests, to protect our rights or safety, or to investigate and prevent fraud or abuse.

      International transfers

      Our third-party service providers may process data on servers located outside your country, including within the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and the United States.

      Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and comparable mechanisms, as required by applicable law.

      Your rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

      Subject to applicable law and certain conditions or exceptions, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data: the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability.

      Where processing is based on consent (for example, personalized advertising), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

      Advertising choices: you can reset or limit your Advertising ID in your device settings, and you may adjust your consent preferences for ads and analytics where such options are provided within the App or its SDKs.

      To exercise your rights or make privacy-related requests, contact: [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity and will respond within the time limits required by applicable data protection laws.

      Retention

      Crash logs and diagnostics: generally retained by our service providers according to their default retention periods (typically up to 24 months), unless a longer period is required for security, troubleshooting, or legal reasons.

      Support communications: retained as long as necessary to handle your request, maintain appropriate records, and comply with legal obligations.

      Advertising and analytics data: retained according to the settings and policies of the relevant providers and your consent choices.

      On-device content (quotes, drafts, exported images): stored on your device or destination services (e.g., cloud, social media) until you delete them. You can uninstall the App at any time to stop further data collection by the App.

      Children’s privacy

      Quotein is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 in the EEA/UK or under 13 in other regions.

      If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal data through the App, please contact us. We will take reasonable steps to delete such data as required by law.

      Security

      We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect data processed through the App, including encrypted transport where applicable, access controls, and a least-privilege approach for service configurations.

      However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

      User content & intellectual property

      The App allows you to enter text (quotes, names, captions) and generate visual designs. You remain responsible for the legality and rights of any content you create, upload, or share using the App.

      Do not use Quotein to infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights, violate terms of third-party platforms, or misuse quotes or materials you do not have the right to use. We reserve the right to take reasonable steps against abusive or unlawful use of the App.

      Changes

      We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the App’s features, our data practices, or legal requirements.

      When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and may provide additional notice within the App where appropriate. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
