SubAlert Privacy Policy

SubAlert Privacy Policy

Publisher: Invest Tales

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Your profile and subscription records are kept locally. You control exported backups. Advertising services process some device and interaction data separately.

  1. Scope and publisher

This Privacy Policy explains how SubAlert, published by Invest Tales, handles information when you use its subscription, free-trial, AutoPay, payment-record and reminder features. SubAlert does not require an Invest Tales account and has no Invest Tales cloud-sync or bank-connection service.

  1. Information you choose to store

Your optional profile name, selected country or region, default currency, subscription names, amounts, currencies, billing cycles, dates, cancellation deadlines, statuses, notes, manually recorded payments, reminder times and app preferences are stored in the app’s database on your device. They are used to display your records, calculate estimates, personalize the interface and schedule the reminders you select.

Your country is a preference, not a location measurement. An initial country suggestion may use the SIM or mobile-network country on Android, with your configured language/region as a fallback. This lookup stays on your device, does not read your phone number, and does not request location or phone permissions. SubAlert does not request GPS location, contacts, SMS, email-inbox access or bank credentials. Profile setup can be skipped. Changing your default currency does not convert existing records.

  1. Information received by Invest Tales

SubAlert does not upload your local profile, subscription details, amounts, notes or payment records to Invest Tales. We do not sell those records. There is no automatic charge detection, provider-account login or automatic cancellation.

If you choose to email support, Invest Tales receives your email address and the information or attachments you send. This information is used to respond to your request and investigate issues. Correspondence may be retained while needed for the request, recordkeeping or legal obligations. Please do not send passwords, card numbers or bank-account credentials.

  1. Advertising and Google services

SubAlert uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to display advertising. Google and its advertising partners process information separately from the records you enter in SubAlert. The SDK collects and shares information with Google for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. This includes IP address (which can indicate approximate location), advertising/app/device identifiers and, where applicable, account-related identifiers, app and ad interactions, and diagnostic or performance information. The exact information depends on device settings, region, consent and applicable advertising controls. Google uses advertising data for purposes such as serving and measuring ads, analytics, security and fraud prevention. Invest Tales can receive advertising performance reports through AdMob.

SubAlert does not add your profile name, subscription names, billing amounts or notes to ad requests. Google’s own privacy policies govern its processing, retention and service providers, which may operate in countries outside your own. Your device’s advertising-ID settings and Google’s advertising controls provide relevant choices. SubAlert requests updated consent information through Google UMP before requesting ads, and displays a consent message where required. Ad requests are made only when the SDK reports they are permitted; where allowed, the SDK may use a previous consent decision if an update fails. Where required, Advertising privacy choices in Settings lets you review these choices. Advertising choices do not necessarily stop all device, diagnostic or advertising-related processing. Changing SubAlert’s reminder settings does not change advertising settings. Links to Google privacy and advertising information are provided below. Google Play update checks use the installed package/version and Play eligibility to report available updates. These checks do not upload your subscription records to Invest Tales. Google Play distributes updates under its own terms. Direct APK installations or unpublished apps may not be eligible for these checks.

  1. Notifications and permissions

When you allow notifications, SubAlert sends reminder content and the selected schedule to the device’s local notification system. This may include a service name, deadline, amount and your reminder note, which can appear on your lock screen according to your device settings. Notification delivery does not require an Invest Tales server. A local refresh reminder may ask you to reopen SubAlert before its scheduled queue runs out. Future alerts refill when the app opens; this version does not refill them automatically in the background.

You can choose reminder categories, offsets and an on-day time, turn reminders off in the app, or revoke notification permission in system settings. Operating systems may delay delivery or restrict background activity. Notification permission is controlled by the operating system and is not granted by restoring a backup. Android may pause an unused app, remove permissions and stop background alerts. When you reopen SubAlert, it checks notification access and refreshes future schedules where permitted. A Settings shortcut lets you review unused-app protection; SubAlert cannot switch it off or restore permissions without your action.

  1. Backups and device transfers

ZIP export includes your local profile, subscriptions, payment records and app preferences. You select the destination using the system file picker. If you choose a cloud or document provider, that provider receives and handles the file under its own terms. SubAlert does not provide an Invest Tales backup server or automatic publisher cloud sync.

Exported ZIP files are not encrypted. Anyone who can access a backup can read its contents. Keep backups in a location you trust, use your storage provider’s access controls, and delete old copies when no longer needed. Restoring a backup replaces your existing local subscription and payment records with the records in that backup after validation; it does not merge the two sets of records. Saved app preferences are also restored. Older backups without profile fields retain current profile and default-currency choices. Files exported elsewhere remain there until you delete them.

System-level device backup and transfer features may also copy app data independently of ZIP export, according to your operating-system, account, device-provider and backup settings.

  1. External links and sharing

Opening a website, an advertisement, a store listing or a social link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices. Sharing the app uses your selected sharing app and shares the store link, not your subscription database. Sending a support email uses your chosen email service. Data you deliberately include in a message or backup is handled by the recipients and services you choose.

  1. Retention and deletion

Local records remain until you remove them, clear SubAlert’s app data or uninstall the app, subject to any system backup/restore behavior. You can edit or clear your profile name and country in Profile & defaults, change the default currency, and delete individual subscription records and their associated payment history. Clearing the app’s storage through system settings removes its local database and preferences.

Disabling notifications does not delete records. Deleting local data does not delete ZIP files, device/cloud backups, support emails or data independently processed by Google. Manage those copies through the relevant storage, device, email or Google service.

  1. Security and sensitive information

Local information relies on the protections of your device and operating system. Use a device lock, keep your software up to date and protect exported backups. SubAlert’s local database and ZIP exports do not add a separate app password or app-level encryption. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Do not store passwords, full payment-card numbers or banking credentials in service names or notes.

  1. Children and privacy choices

SubAlert is a general-use financial organization tool and is not designed specifically for children. If you believe a child has sent personal information to Invest Tales through support, contact us so the concern can be addressed.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, objection or other handling of personal information. For records kept only on your device, use the app and system controls described above; Invest Tales has no server copy to retrieve or erase. Contact us about support correspondence or other publisher-held information. For Google-processed information, use Google’s privacy resources and controls.

  1. Record accuracy and exported reports

Records and payment confirmations are entered by you. SubAlert does not verify them with banks or service providers. Optional automatic date advancement assumes renewal for scheduling only and does not confirm a payment. Dates, amounts, estimates and reports can be inaccurate because of incorrect entries, changing provider terms, device settings or technical errors. Storage, calculations and reminder delivery are not guaranteed to be error-free. Check important payment and cancellation details against your provider or bank and keep original receipts. Reports are organizational summaries, not receipts, tax advice or verified proof of payment. This does not limit rights you have under applicable law.

PDF and JPG reports are generated locally from your selected records and may include your profile if you choose. Exported reports are not encrypted. The storage provider or recipient you choose controls its copy; deleting app records does not delete exported reports.

  1. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when SubAlert’s features, data practices or applicable requirements change. The last-updated date identifies this version. Material changes will be reflected in the policy and any required in-app disclosures. Review the policy when you update the app.
