Last updated: July 15, 2026

1. Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use the Emoji Maker: DIY Meme Sticker mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Services"). Emoji Maker: DIY Meme Sticker lets you create, customize, and share emojis, memes, and stickers. By using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy and the applicable Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

For purposes of some data protection laws, we act as a "controller" (or equivalent) for information we process about you. Terminology like "personal data," "personal information," or "PI" is used generically to mean information that identifies or relates to an identifiable person.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Profile & preferences: display name, avatar, language, region, and preferences you set inside Emoji Maker: DIY Meme Sticker.
• User-generated content: emojis, stickers, memes, drawings, text, and images you create, import, or share through the app. We may store, moderate, and process this content to deliver the feature you requested and to protect users.
• Photos / camera (optional): if you grant permission, the app may access your camera or photo library to import source images for meme and sticker creation. Images stay on your device unless you explicitly export or share them.
• Support: messages you send to customer support and any metadata necessary to investigate issues.
• Purchases: when you make in-app purchases, payment processors (Apple App Store / Google Play) collect billing data. We receive non-financial transaction details (e.g., item, value, transaction ID) to fulfill orders and manage subscriptions.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Device / usage: IP address, device identifiers (e.g., advertising IDs), OS/browser type and version, language, time zone, app version, screens viewed, session duration, feature usage, crash logs.
• Cookies & similar technologies: used on web components (such as this privacy page) to remember settings, perform analytics, and improve content.

• Cross-device association: where permitted, we or partners may associate usage across devices to provide a seamless experience.

16. Third-Party Libraries (SDKs) & Partners

Emoji Maker: DIY Meme Sticker integrates third-party software development kits ("SDKs"), APIs, and partner services for functionality such as analytics, crash reporting, attribution, and advertising. Depending on the SDK, these partners may collect and process information from your device or the Services (e.g., device identifiers, IP address, app usage, events). Processing by partners is subject to their own privacy policies. Below is a representative list of the categories, typical data collected, purposes, and links to learn more.

16.1 Representative Partners & Resources

16.2 What Data Partners May Process

• Identifiers (e.g., advertising identifiers like IDFA/AAID; app instance IDs).
• Device information (model, OS, language, time zone, IP, network).
• App usage (events, screens, session length, interactions, performance & crash logs).
• Attribution data (install source, campaign, engagement).

16.3 Managing Partner Processing

• Use in-app consent dialogs where provided to accept/decline certain data uses (e.g., for EEA/UK under GDPR, California under CPRA).
• Use device settings to limit ad tracking or reset advertising identifiers.
• Use partner-provided opt-out mechanisms (see links above) and platform controls (e.g., App Store/Play Store privacy settings).

16.4 Keeping This List Current

We aim to keep this section aligned with the SDKs included in current releases of Emoji Maker: DIY Meme Sticker. When a build changes SDKs, this list will be reviewed and updated. Some SDKs are used conditionally (e.g., region, platform). The presence of an SDK does not mean all data types are collected in all contexts.
