This Privacy Policy explains how dlzer.com (the “Website”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit it.

Please read it together with our Cookie Statement, which describes the cookies and similar technologies we use in detail.

We do not host, distribute, or provide app installation files (such as APK files). All download buttons on this website link only to official app stores — the Apple App Store and Google Play. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the app developers or companies whose apps we review or mention. All app names, logos, and trademarks referenced on this website belong to their respective owners.
2. Information We Collect
We collect three broad kinds of information.
Information you give us directly. In general you can browse this Website without telling us who you are. We do not require you to register, and we do not ask you to create an account. You provide information to us only if you choose to get in touch:
- Contact information. If you contact us through our contact form, by email, or by post, we receive what you send: your name, your email address, any postal address or telephone number you include, and the content of your message.
- Legal notices and requests. If you send us a copyright notice, a counter-notice, a data protection request, or another legal request, we process the information in it. That may include storing the notice and, where the law requires it, sharing it with the person who published the material concerned. See our DMCA and Copyright Disclaimer.
- Feedback. If we ever run a survey or ask for feedback and you take part, we receive whatever you choose to submit.
We do not ask for, and do not want to receive, special-category data (such as information about health, religious beliefs, or political opinions). Please do not send us such information.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website, our systems and the services we use collect technical information about your device and how you use the site. Some of this may be personal data when it is linked to other details:
- Usage data. The pages and content you view, the date and time of your visit, how long you spend on a page, the path you take through the site, and how you interact with our pages.
- Device and connection data. Your IP address, the approximate location that can be derived from it, browser type and version, operating system, device model and identifiers, language settings, and the page or service that referred you to us. This is generated automatically by our web server and by the services described in Section 6.
- Cookies and similar technologies. Information stored in or read from cookies, pixels, tags, and local storage — for example whether you have visited before and which cookie categories you have allowed. Section 5 summarises this; the Cookie Statement lists the individual cookies.
- Analytics data. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the Website is used — which pages are read, how visitors move between them, and where errors occur. Analytics reports are aggregated, and we do not use them to identify individual visitors.
- Advertising and conversion data. We use advertising services, including Google AdSense and Microsoft Advertising, to display advertising and to measure whether a campaign worked. These services may receive your IP address, device and browser information, and cookie identifiers, and may record that a visit or an action followed an advertisement. We receive aggregate reports, such as how many visits a campaign produced; we do not receive your name or email address from them.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
- To operate and deliver the Website. To serve pages and images, keep the site available and fast, remember your preferences, and route traffic between servers.
- To keep the Website secure. To detect and block automated attacks, scraping, spam, and other abuse, and to keep records that let us investigate security incidents.
- To understand and improve the Website. To see which articles are useful, which pages return errors, and where visitors struggle, so we can fix and improve them.
- To display and measure advertising. To fund the free operation of the Website, to limit how often you see the same advertisement, and to measure advertising and campaign performance.
- To answer you. To respond to your message, request, or complaint, and to keep a record of the correspondence.
- To comply with the law. To keep records where the law requires it, and to respond to lawful requests from courts, regulators, and law enforcement.
- To enforce our terms. To investigate and address misuse of the Website, and to protect our rights and those of other people.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not use it to make decisions about you by purely automated means that have a legal or similarly significant effect on you.
4. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA and UK Visitors)
Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we must have a legal basis for each processing activity. We rely on the following:
| Processing | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Delivering the Website, remembering your preferences, keeping it secure | Legitimate interests (running a functional, secure website), and in some respects performance of a contract with you |
| Setting statistics cookies and analysing how the Website is used | Your consent, which you give in the consent banner and can withdraw at any time |
| Setting marketing cookies, displaying personalised advertising, measuring campaigns | Your consent, which you give in the consent banner and can withdraw at any time |
| Responding to your enquiries, notices, and requests | Legitimate interests (maintaining a working relationship with visitors), or consent where you have given it, and compliance with legal obligations where relevant |
| Preventing fraud and abuse, and protecting the Website | Legitimate interests, and compliance with legal obligations relating to security |
| Keeping records and responding to lawful requests | Compliance with legal obligations |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have considered whether our interests are overridden by your rights and interests, and we apply safeguards such as data minimisation. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting processing that took place before you withdrew it.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use strictly necessary cookies to run the Website, statistics cookies to measure how it is used, and marketing cookies to display and measure advertising. Statistics and marketing cookies are set only with your consent, which you give through the consent banner. You can change or withdraw that consent at any time.
The Cookie Statement lists each cookie, what it does, who sets it, and how long it lasts, and explains how to manage cookies through our consent tool, your browser settings, and industry opt-out tools.
6. Who We Share Information With
We do not sell personal data. We share it only with the service providers that make the Website work, and only the data each of them needs. The main ones are listed below. Each of these providers publishes its own privacy notice, and each acts under a contract that limits how it may use the data it processes for us.
| Service | Purpose | Data involved | Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Traffic and engagement analytics | Page views, session and device data, truncated or full IP address, analytics cookie identifiers | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google Tag Manager | Tag management — loads the tags listed on this page | Technical data needed to load and fire tags | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google AdSense / Google advertising products | Displaying and measuring advertising | IP address, device and browser data, advertising cookie and identifier data, interaction with advertisements | Google Privacy Policy |
| Microsoft Advertising (Universal Event Tracking) | Advertising and campaign measurement | IP address, device data, UET cookie identifiers, conversion events such as a page view following an advertisement | Microsoft Privacy Statement |
| Cloudflare | Security, bot mitigation, and content delivery | IP address, user agent, request data, and security cookie values | Cloudflare Privacy Policy |
| Complianz | Cookie consent management | Your consent choices and the date they were recorded | Complianz Privacy Statement |
| Web hosting and email providers | Serving the Website and handling correspondence | Server request logs, and the contents of messages you send us | Available on request |
We may also disclose information where we believe in good faith that we are required to do so — to comply with a law, a court order, or a lawful request from a public authority; to enforce our Terms and Conditions; to investigate fraud, security, or technical issues; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our visitors, or the public. If our business is ever transferred — in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — information may transfer to the successor as part of that transaction, and we would require the successor to protect it on terms at least as protective as this policy.
7. International Data Transfers
Our company is established in the People’s Republic of China, and our service providers operate globally. This means that information collected through the Website may be processed in countries other than the one you are visiting from — in particular in the United States, where several of our providers operate data centres.
Where personal data of visitors in the EEA or the UK is transferred outside those areas, we rely on at least one of the following safeguards:
- Standard Contractual Clauses. Our providers offer the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, which bind the recipient to protect the data to EU standards.
- Adequacy decisions. Where the European Commission has recognised a country’s data protection as adequate, we may rely on that recognition.
- Framework certification. Some United States providers, including Google and Microsoft, are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Where that certification applies, we rely on it as an additional safeguard.
- Technical and organisational measures. We minimise the data that leaves your region, use encryption in transit, and use the analytics and retention settings available to us to limit how long identifiable data is kept.
You can contact us at [email protected] if you would like more information about the safeguards that apply to a particular transfer.
8. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as the law requires. The periods we work to are:
| Type of information | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Web server and security logs (including IP addresses) | Short periods, typically 30 to 90 days, after which they are deleted automatically, unless we need to keep them longer to investigate a security incident |
| Analytics data | For a limited period that we configure in Google Analytics; we do not set this longer than 14 months. Aggregated reports that no longer identify anyone may be kept for longer for statistical purposes |
| Advertising and conversion records | Cookies expire according to their own lifespans (see the Cookie Statement). Advertising reports we receive from partners contain no individual identifiers and may be kept as business records |
| Messages you send us | For as long as needed to answer you, to resolve any dispute, and to keep a record of the request; correspondence about data protection requests is kept so that we can show we handled them correctly |
| Copyright notices and counter-notices | Kept to document our response and to establish that we comply with notice-and-takedown obligations |
| Records we are required to keep by law | For the period required by applicable accounting, tax, and other legal requirements |
When a retention period ends, we delete the data or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you. For example, we may delete raw log files while keeping aggregated statistics.
9. Your Rights
If you are in the EEA or the UK, the General Data Protection Regulation gives you the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you, and to be told how we use it and who we share it with. We will not disclose data that identifies another person, and we may ask you to specify what your request relates to.
- Rectification of data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Erasure of your data, sometimes described as the right to be forgotten. This right applies in certain circumstances — for example where the data is no longer needed, or where you withdraw consent — but it is not absolute. We may need to keep data where the law requires it, or to establish or defend legal claims.
- Restriction of processing — for example, asking us to pause processing while we check whether data is accurate, or while we assess an objection you have made.
- Data portability: to receive data you gave us, processed by automated means on the basis of consent or a contract, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to ask us to transmit it to another controller where that is technically possible.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests. You also have an absolute right to object to processing for direct marketing. We do not carry out direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.
- Rights relating to automated decision-making. We do not make decisions about you by solely automated means that produce legal or similarly significant effects, so this right is not currently engaged.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, gives you the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and how we use and disclose them, to request a copy of the specific information we hold about you, to ask us to delete it, to ask us to correct it, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising in the sense used by that law other than through the advertising cookies described in our Cookie Statement, which you can refuse.
If you are in mainland China, the Personal Information Protection Law gives you equivalent rights to know, to access and copy, to correct, to delete your personal information, and to withdraw your consent, and to ask for an explanation of our processing rules. You can exercise these rights through the same contact details.
How to exercise your rights. Write to us at [email protected], or by post to the address in Section 15. Please tell us which right you want to use and enough about your relationship with the Website for us to find the relevant data. We may ask you to confirm your identity before we act, to make sure we do not disclose data to the wrong person. We aim to respond as soon as we can, and in any event within one month. If a request is complex or we receive several from the same person, we may extend that period by up to two further months, and we will tell you if we do and why.
Complaints. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your request, you can complain to the data protection authority in your country of residence — for example, the Irish Data Protection Commission for complaints relating to Ireland, or the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom. Visitors elsewhere can contact their local supervisory authority. We would appreciate the chance to resolve the issue with you first.
10. Your Choices and Controls
As well as your formal rights, these are the practical controls available to you:
- Cookies. Allow or refuse the statistics and marketing categories at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer, or delete cookies in your browser. Deleting them means you will be asked again on your next visit.
- Analytics. If you would rather not have your activity recorded by Google Analytics, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on, or refuse statistics cookies in our banner, in which case Google Analytics will not run on this Website for your visits.
- Personalised advertising. Google’s advertising preferences can be managed at adssettings.google.com, and Microsoft’s at choice.microsoft.com. The industry tools at youronlinechoices.eu (EU), optout.aboutads.info (US), and optout.networkadvertising.org cover many networks at once. Opting out does not remove advertising; it makes the advertising you see less likely to be based on your browsing history.
- Email. We do not currently send newsletters or marketing email. If you contact us, we will use your address to reply, and to send follow-up messages about that request. If we ever introduce marketing email, every message will carry an unsubscribe link, and service or transactional replies would not be affected.
- Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. We do not act on Do Not Track signals, because there is no agreed standard for interpreting them; we rely on the consent banner instead. If your browser or an extension sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to stop selling or sharing personal data, and we do not sell or share personal data in that sense.
- Social and external platforms. If you reach our content through a social network, that platform may collect data about that interaction under its own privacy policy. Its privacy settings are the place to change that.
11. Security
We use technical and organisational measures that are appropriate to the risk:
- Encryption in transit. The Website is served over HTTPS (TLS), so information travelling between your browser and our servers is encrypted.
- Access control. Administrative access to the Website and to any stored data is limited to the people who need it, protected by individual accounts and strong authentication.
- Monitoring. We monitor traffic and system activity for anomalies, and Cloudflare provides an additional layer of defence against automated attacks and malicious requests.
- Updates. We keep the Website software, plugins, and supporting systems up to date, and apply security patches promptly.
- Backups. We keep secured backups so that data can be restored after an incident such as accidental deletion or a malware event.
- Minimisation. We collect less data than we could, and we aggregate or anonymise it wherever that still lets us do the job.
No system is completely secure, and sending information over the internet always carries some risk. Once we have received your information we protect it with the measures above, but we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority where the law requires it — within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where the GDPR applies — and we will tell affected visitors without undue delay where the law or the level of risk requires it.
You can help as well: use a strong password and do not reuse it elsewhere, and be cautious about sharing personal information in public forums or replying to unsolicited messages.
12. Children’s Privacy
This Website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16. We do not require registration and we do not offer features that invite children to submit information. If you are under 16, please do not send us personal details.
If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 16 without appropriate consent, we will delete it promptly. Parents and guardians: if you believe we hold information about your child, write to us at [email protected] and we will remove it.
The age at which a child can consent to online data processing varies between countries and is generally between 13 and 16. Where the law of your country sets a different age, or requires the consent of a parent or guardian, we follow that law and do not process the data of anyone below the relevant age without the required consent.
13. External Links
Our articles link to external websites, including official app store listings and the websites of app developers. We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of those websites, and a link does not mean we endorse everything on the destination site. When you follow a link away from dlzer.com, the privacy policy and cookie practices of that website apply, and we encourage you to read them.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, in the services we use, or in the law. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page shows when it last changed. If a change is significant, we will make it more prominent — for example by posting a notice on the Website. We encourage you to review this page periodically. If you continue to use the Website after a change takes effect, you accept the updated policy; if you do not agree with it, you should stop using the Website and, where applicable, ask us to delete your data.
