Privacy & Data Usage
Effective Date: November 9, 2025
Last Updated: November 26, 2025
This Privacy & Data Usage Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to the Dealio mobile application (hereafter referred to as the “Application” or “Service”), created and operated by Joshua Dobbs (“Service Provider”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
By downloading or using the Application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The Application may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including:
Phone Number (used solely for authentication and security)
Precise Location Data (only if you grant permission)
Account Information (such as name or optional details)
Device Information (model, OS version, unique identifiers)
This information may be required to provide functionality, improve user experience, or secure access to your account.
When you use the Application, the following may be collected automatically:
IP address
Pages or screens viewed
Time and date of visits
Time spent in different areas of the Application
App performance and engagement metrics
Device operating system and version
The Application does not collect precise GPS location unless you explicitly grant permission.
2. Phone Number Verification, SMS Messaging & User Consent
The Dealio Application uses SMS/text messaging for account verification, security, and optional communication regarding app features, service updates, deal alerts, and support notifications.
How SMS Consent Works
By entering your phone number and tapping Send Code, you provide explicit consent to receive SMS/text messages from Dealio, including:
Account verification codes
App feature notifications
Deal or vote-based alerts
Support or security-related messages
Message and data rates may apply.
You may withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP to any message.
Reply HELP for assistance.
Message Frequency
SMS frequency varies based on login requests and app interactions.
Users will not receive marketing SMS without consent.
Third-Party SMS Provider (Twilio)
Dealio uses Twilio solely for sending verification and system-related text messages.
Twilio temporarily processes your phone number and message content for delivery only — it is not sold, shared, or used for external marketing.
You may request to remove your phone number from our system at any time by emailing:
📧 dealio1985@gmail.com
We may share information:
As required by law
To protect safety and security
With trusted third-party service providers (analytics, hosting, authentication)
These providers comply with this Privacy Policy.
Only anonymized, aggregated data may be shared for analytics.
You may stop data collection by uninstalling the Application.
You may also request data deletion by emailing:
📧 dealio1985@gmail.com
We retain User Provided Data as long as you use the Application and for a reasonable period after.
You may request deletion at any time unless retention is legally required.
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Users must be at least 16 years old to consent, or have parental approval where required.
Contact us if a child has submitted personal data.
We use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information.
However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
This policy may be updated periodically.
Continued use of the Application means you accept the updated policy.
