Ads

The free version of BubbleDS displays ads using Google Admob. Cookies and other means (advertising ID) may be used by Google Admob to present personalized ads.
This does not apply to the paid version of BubbleDS which removes ads entirely.

Anonymous crash reports

Whenever BubbleDS crashes, a crash report containing anonymous crash data is sent securely online, for fixing crashes and improve BubbleDS. A crash report is kept for a maximum of one month (starting from the submission date), after which it is permanently deleted.
The user can choose at any time to disable sending automated crash reports within BubbleDS, in More > Gear icon > Control > Send crash reports.

The user can revoke access to a cloud service at any time in-app, in More > Gear icon > Local and Cloud > (cloud service) > Revoke access.
