1. Introduction
Good Fate Lab LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates Sunset Browser ("the App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.
Our core principle: We collect as little data as possible. Sunset Browser is designed to protect your privacy, and we practice what we preach.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information We DO NOT Collect
We want to be clear about what we do not collect:
- Browsing history — We never log the websites you visit
- DNS queries — Your DNS lookups are not recorded
- VPN traffic content — We cannot and do not inspect your encrypted traffic
- Search queries — Your searches remain private
- IP address logs — We do not log your IP address or connection timestamps
- Cookies from websites — We do not access or transmit cookies you receive from websites
2.2 Information We May Collect
We may collect minimal, anonymous information for service improvement:
- Device type and OS version — To ensure compatibility and fix bugs
- App version — To track update adoption and identify version-specific issues
- Crash reports — Anonymized crash logs to improve stability (via Apple's built-in crash reporting)
- Aggregate bandwidth usage — To manage server capacity (not linked to individual users)
- Subscription status — Managed by Apple, necessary for feature access
3. How We Use Your Information
Any information we collect is used solely to:
- Provide and maintain the App's functionality
- Process subscription transactions (through Apple's payment system)
- Diagnose and fix technical issues
- Improve app performance and user experience
- Comply with legal requirements
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Data Storage
All your browsing data (history, bookmarks, cookies, cache) is stored locally on your device. This data is never transmitted to our servers.
In private browsing mode, no data is persisted at all — everything is erased when you close the session.
VPN configuration data is stored securely in your device's keychain and App Group container, accessible only by the App and its VPN extension.
5. Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services:
5.1 Apple In-App Purchase
Subscription payments are processed through Apple's App Store. We do not directly handle your payment information. Apple's privacy practices are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
5.2 Google AdMob (Free Users Only)
Free-tier users may view rewarded advertisements to access VPN sessions. Google AdMob may collect the following information:
- Device advertising identifier (IDFA) — Used to serve personalized ads and measure ad effectiveness
- Device information — Device model, OS version, screen size
- Ad interaction data — Information about ads viewed, clicked, or completed
- IP address — Used by Google for ad targeting and fraud prevention
This data may be used by Google for cross-app advertising and ad measurement purposes. For more details, see Google's Privacy Policy. This applies only to free-tier users who choose to watch ads. Paid subscribers are not shown any advertisements.
5.3 App Tracking Transparency
In accordance with Apple's requirements, the App will ask for your permission before tracking your activity across other companies' apps and websites. You can choose to allow or deny tracking. If you deny tracking, ads will still be shown but they will not be personalized. You can change this setting at any time in your device's Settings > Privacy > Tracking.
6. VPN & No-Log Policy
Our VPN service operates under a strict no-log policy:
- We do not log which websites you visit through our VPN
- We do not log your original IP address
- We do not log connection timestamps
- We do not inspect the contents of your encrypted traffic
- We may collect aggregate, anonymized bandwidth data for capacity planning
7. Cookies (Website Only)
This website (sunsetbrowser.app) may use essential cookies for basic functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or analytics cookies on this website.
8. Children's Privacy
The App is rated 17+ on the App Store due to its VPN functionality. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
9. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access — Request information about what data we have about you (which is minimal)
- Delete — Request deletion of any data we may have
- Opt-out — Stop using the App at any time; delete it and all local data is removed
- Clear local data — Use the App's built-in "Clear All Data" feature to erase browsing data
To exercise these rights, contact us at support@sunsetbrowser.app.
10. Data Security
We employ industry-standard security measures to protect any information in our possession. VPN traffic is protected with advanced encryption technology. All communication between the App and our servers uses secure encrypted channels.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
