Privacy Policy for Lemons

Last Updated: 2025-09-01

Welcome to Lemons, a short drama streaming application developed by Lemons Web ("we," "us," or "our"). We are dedicated to delivering engaging short-form entertainment while upholding the highest standards of user privacy and data protection. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding any data handling in connection with our app, including what information we do or do not collect, how it is used, and your privacy rights. By downloading, installing, or using Lemons, you consent to the terms described herein.

Lemons is built with privacy at its core. Our platform allows users to discover, watch, and share bite-sized dramatic stories without us collecting personal information. That said, to sustain our free-to-use model, the app incorporates advertisements and leverages third-party SDKs, including those from Google. This policy complies with global regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other relevant privacy frameworks, ensuring transparency about any limited, anonymized data interactions.

1. Information We Collect

We firmly adhere to a no-personal-data-collection policy for Lemons users. This means we do not gather, retain, or process any identifiable information, such as:

• Your full name, email address, phone number, or mailing address.
• Your precise location, IP address, or device identifiers linked to your identity.
• Viewing history, preferences, or content interactions tied to you personally.
• Any user-generated content, comments, or shares that reveal personal details.

Our streaming service operates without logging user sessions, watch times, or episode selections, preserving your anonymity throughout your entertainment experience.

1.1 Information from Advertisements

To keep Lemons accessible at no cost, we feature advertisements integrated via reputable third-party networks. These providers may incidentally collect anonymized, non-personal data solely for ad optimization and delivery. Key aspects include:

• Device and App Metrics: Generic details like OS version (e.g., iOS or Android), app version, screen size, or language settings, aggregated across users without individual tracking.
• Ad Engagement: Anonymous records of ad impressions, clicks, or skips to refine ad relevance and frequency. No linkage to your profile or behavior outside the app.
• Contextual Targeting: Ads may be tailored based on app context (e.g., drama genre themes) rather than personal data. We prohibit behavioral targeting using our non-existent user data.

Personalized ads, if any, stem entirely from the ad network's independent practices. Users can manage preferences via device settings, such as opting out of interest-based ads in Google Settings or Apple's Limit Ad Tracking feature.

1.2 Information from Third-Party SDKs

Lemons utilizes Google's SDK for essential functionalities like analytics, crash reporting, and ad mediation. We configure these tools to collect the absolute minimum required, but Google may process the following anonymized elements:

• Performance Analytics: High-level, aggregated stats on app launches, episode buffering times, or feature usage to enhance playback quality and user interface.
• Error Reporting: Non-identifiable crash logs, including error codes and device model, to diagnose and resolve technical issues swiftly.
• Advertising Identifiers: Temporary, resettable IDs (e.g., IDFA on iOS or AAID on Android) for ad attribution. These are not connected to personal info by us and can be reset in your device privacy controls.
• Basic Session Data: Ephemeral metrics like session duration for load balancing, without storing or associating them with users.

For comprehensive insights into Google's handling, refer to their Privacy Policy. We have no access to, nor control over, the data transmitted to Google via these SDKs.

1.3 Automatically Collected Technical Data

For operational smoothness, the app may handle transient, non-personal technical information in real-time, including:

• Network connectivity status to ensure smooth video streaming.
• Bandwidth estimates to adapt video quality dynamically.
• App state indicators (e.g., foreground/background) for battery optimization.
• All such data is processed locally on your device, never persisted on our servers, and discarded upon session end.

We do not request or utilize geolocation services, camera/microphone access, or contacts unless explicitly granted for optional features like sharing episodes (which still avoids personal data capture).

2. How We Use Information

With no personal data in our possession, our usage is strictly limited to app maintenance and sustainability. Any ancillary data from ads or SDKs serves these purposes:

• App Enhancement: Aggregated insights drive updates, such as improving search algorithms for drama recommendations or fixing playback glitches.
• Monetization: Enabling ad displays to fund content licensing and development, ensuring diverse short dramas remain free.
• Quality Assurance: Crash data helps prevent disruptions, maintaining a seamless viewing experience.
• Fraud Prevention: Minimal, anonymized checks for unusual activity (e.g., rapid ad clicks) without profiling users.

We never employ data for unsolicited marketing, user segmentation, or third-party sales. All practices align with our commitment to ethical, privacy-first entertainment.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

As we collect no personal information, sharing is nonexistent. Nonetheless, for completeness:

• Service Providers: Limited anonymized data flows to ad partners and Google SDKs under strict data processing agreements that enforce privacy safeguards.
• Legal Obligations: We may respond to valid subpoenas or regulatory requests, but our no-logs stance means no user-specific data exists to disclose.
• Corporate Events: In mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, privacy protections would bind successors, with user notification where feasible.
• Aggregated Insights: De-identified trends (e.g., popular drama genres) may inform public reports, devoid of any individual traces.

No sharing occurs with data brokers, governments (absent legal compulsion), or unrelated entities.

4. Data Security

Security is integral to Lemons. We deploy comprehensive measures to protect against unauthorized access, including:

• Encryption Standards: HTTPS for all communications and end-to-end encryption for any optional user shares.
• Access Controls: Role-based permissions for our minimal internal team, with multi-factor authentication.
• Regular Audits: Third-party security reviews and SDK vulnerability scans to stay ahead of threats.
• Incident Response: A dedicated protocol for monitoring and rapid mitigation, with user alerts for any hypothetical breaches (improbable due to our data-minimal approach).
• Device-Level Protections: Encouraging users to enable biometric locks and app permissions management.

While we strive for impenetrable defenses, users should maintain strong device security practices.

5. Children's Privacy

Lemons targets general audiences but is not designed for children under 13 (or 16 in certain regions). We do not target minors or collect their data knowingly. Content is curated for mature themes common in short dramas.

• If a child accesses the app, parents should intervene immediately.
• Compliance with COPPA and analogous laws mandates verifiable parental consent for under-age users, though our policy obviates data needs.
• Report suspected child usage to us for swift account disabling (if applicable).

6. Your Rights and Choices

Empowerment is key; here's how you can manage your privacy in Lemons:

• Access Requests: Inquire about any processed data (expect confirmation of none); we'll respond promptly.
• Deletion and Opt-Out: No data to delete from us, but reset ad IDs or clear app cache via device tools.
• Ad Controls: Toggle personalized ads off in OS settings; consider premium ad-free subscriptions if offered.
• Cookie/Tracker Management: The app avoids cookies; manage any ad-related ones through browser equivalents.
• Regulatory Rights: GDPR subjects can withdraw consent or lodge complaints; CCPA users may opt out of "sales" (not applicable here).
• App Removal: Uninstall to cease all interactions instantly.

For assistance, reach out anytime.

7. International Data Transfers

Our operations span borders, with servers in data centers compliant with EU adequacy decisions (e.g., EEA regions). SDK data to Google may transfer to the US, safeguarded by EU-US Data Privacy Framework mechanisms or equivalent clauses. We monitor evolving laws to ensure seamless, secure global access to short dramas.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This policy evolves with our app and legal landscape. Minor tweaks occur silently; material changes prompt in-app notifications or prominent banners. Review dates indicate updates—continued use post-changes signifies agreement. We encourage periodic checks for the freshest version.
