Data Controller and Processors
• iCandi Apps Limited, Unit B Rubery House, The Avenue, Rubery, Birmingham, B45 9AL, United Kingdom, is the data controller for the purposes of GDPR/UK GDPR.
• Certain third parties act as data processors on our behalf (e.g., Apple, OpenAI, Google/YouTube) to provide functionality such as analytics, AI-powered features, or video hosting.

1.3 Analytics
We have access to anonymised, aggregate usage and performance data provided by Apple through App Store Connect. This may include information such as device type, operating system, country, crash reports, and feature usage. This data is collected and controlled by Apple, not directly by us.
