Privacy policy

Updated 10 November 2026. This policy describes Elf Mischief Planner, published by Fettle Ridge Apps. Contact: fettleridgeapps@gmail.com.

Your plans stay on your device

No app account is required. Plans, favourites, supply lists and checks, preferences, reminder settings and optional elf names are stored on your Android device. We do not upload this planning information to our servers or send it to advertising providers. Please use fictional elf names and do not enter children's names or other sensitive information.

Advertising and consent

The free tier uses Google AdMob banner advertising on the Ideas screen. Ads do not appear in setup instructions. Planner Plus removes ads. We wait for the local purchase check and Google's consent checks before requesting ads. You can manage available advertising consent choices in Settings → Privacy → Advertising privacy choices. Declining personalised advertising does not remove access to free features; the availability of limited or non-personalised ads depends on your region and choices.

When advertising is used, Google's Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share IP addresses (which can indicate approximate location), device and account identifiers such as the advertising ID and app set ID, app and ad interactions, and diagnostic/performance information. Google uses these for advertising, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention. The SDK encrypts transmitted data using TLS. We do not request precise location access. Google’s consent service also processes consent choices and information needed to determine which privacy rules apply.

Read Google's privacy policy and how Google uses information from partner apps. You can reset or delete your advertising ID through Android's advertising privacy settings. We do not operate a separate behavioural analytics service.

Purchases

Google Play processes the optional one-time Planner Plus purchase. We do not receive your card details. The app stores the Google-signed purchase receipt locally and checks ownership with Google Play to unlock paid features and support offline access. Restore purchases uses the Google account that made the purchase. Google may retain transaction information under its own policies. Refunds and payment enquiries are handled through Google Play.

Reminders and sharing

Reminders are scheduled on your device only after you enable them and allow Android notifications. We do not register a push notification token. Reminder text does not identify the planned scene. If you choose Print or Share, Android passes the content to the printer or destination you select; those services apply their own privacy policies.

Retention, deletion and your rights

Planning data remains locally until you edit it, clear the app's storage or uninstall it. Android backup and restore settings may retain or restore app data. Clearing local data also clears the local purchase receipt, but does not cancel a purchase: you can restore it through Google Play. We cannot retrieve or delete planning data remotely. Google controls retention of data it receives; use Google's privacy controls or contact Google for its records.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, receive a copy of your data, withdraw consent, or complain to a privacy regulator, including the UK Information Commissioner's Office. Contact us using the email above with questions about our processing. If you contact support, we use the information you provide to respond and retain it only as needed for support and applicable record-keeping obligations. Avoid sending payment details or children's personal information.

Adults and children

This is a planning tool intended for adults arranging family scenes, not a service directed at children. We do not knowingly ask children to provide personal information.
