FunnyDad Privacy Policy
Last updated: 20th August 2026
DadSteps Limited (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the FunnyDad mobile application and website (funnydad.app) (together, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains what information is and isn’t collected when you use the Service.
The short version: FunnyDad has no accounts, no login, and no sign-up. We don’t collect your name, email address, or any personal profile information. The only data collection involved comes from the advertising services that keep the app free, described below.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
FunnyDad does not require or request:
- An account, username, or password
- Your name, email address, or phone number
- Any personal profile or identity information
There is nothing to sign up for, and nothing tying your use of the app to your identity, on our end.
2. Information Stored Only on Your Device
The app stores a small amount of technical data locally on your device, to make the app work smoothly. This data is never transmitted to us or to any third party:
- Content display order — a shuffled sequence used to avoid repeating the same joke or story too soon
- Notification preferences — your chosen reminder time, if you set one
- Theme preference — light, dark, or system default
This information stays on your device and is deleted automatically if you uninstall the app.
3. Advertising and Third-Party Services
FunnyDad is free to use and supported by advertising. We use the following third-party advertising services to display ads within the app:
- Google AdMob
- AppLovin
These services may collect certain technical information to serve and measure ads, which can include:
- Advertising identifiers (such as your device’s advertising ID)
- IP address and approximate location
- Device information (device type, operating system version)
- Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks)
This data is collected and processed by Google and AppLovin as independent data controllers, not by DadSteps Limited. We do not have access to this data ourselves, and it is governed by each provider’s own privacy policy:
- Google AdMob: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- AppLovin: https://www.applovin.com/privacy/
Your consent choices (EU/UK users)
If you’re located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you’ll be shown a consent screen the first time you open the app, in compliance with GDPR and UK data protection law. You can choose whether to allow personalized advertising, and you can change this choice at any time from the app’s Settings, under “Privacy Choices.”
If you don’t consent to personalized ads, you’ll still see ads, but they won’t be based on your personal data or advertising identifiers — only non-personalized, contextual ads.
4. Push Notifications
If you enable notifications, the app schedules a local reminder directly on your device using your device’s own operating system. No notification data, token, or schedule is ever sent to our servers — because we don’t have any servers involved in this feature at all.
5. Website (funnydad.app)
The FunnyDad website may use similar advertising services (such as Google AdSense) to keep the site free to use. If you’re in the EU/UK, you’ll be shown a cookie consent banner when you first visit, and you can manage your preferences there.
6. Children’s Privacy
FunnyDad is a general-audience app and is not directed at, or targeted toward, children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Content includes general adult humor that is not intended for a child audience.
7. Your Rights
Because we do not collect or store personal data about you directly, most data-related requests (access, deletion, correction) should be directed to the relevant advertising provider (Google or AppLovin) using the links above, since they are the ones actually processing that data.
If you have any question about how FunnyDad works with these services, you can contact us using the details below.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
