This policy describes advertising, in-app purchases, and subscriptions in Totus Secure Notes, consistent with Google Play Ads policy and Payments policy.
| Release | Ads in app? | Play Console “Contains ads” |
|---|---|---|
| v1.2.18 | No — AdMob disabled until production App IDs are configured | No |
| Future | Banner ads via Google AdMob on free tier | Yes (after policy + Data safety update) |
When ads are enabled, format is banner only (non-intrusive). AdMob may collect device/advertising IDs per Google’s policies.
Removing ads: Purchase Pro Full Monthly (pro_full_monthly) or Pro Lifetime (pro_lifetime) for the no_ads entitlement. Legacy Pro Monthly and Pro Plus subscriptions (no longer sold) remain honored until expiry if already active.
Free vs paid does not change vault encryption. Every tier uses the same on-device safeguards: Argon2id key derivation, AES-256-GCM envelope encryption, and local-only storage. We do not host your vault on Totus servers.
| What IAP controls | Free | Pro (monthly or lifetime) |
|---|---|---|
| Vault encryption strength | Same | Same |
| Optional banner ads (when enabled) | May show | No ads |
| Premium features (Trip Pro, Studio, AI, etc.) | Limited | Full unlock |
Other risks (honest disclosure):
| Tier | Product ID | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | — | Encrypted notes, postpartum template, basic trips, built-in templates (banner ads when enabled) |
| Pro Full Monthly | pro_full_monthly | Full premium unlock while subscription is active (auto-renews until cancelled) |
| Pro Lifetime | pro_lifetime | No ads + Trip Planner Pro + Template Studio + Template AI + Note Assist + premium templates (one-time) |
| Legacy Pro Monthly | pro_monthly | No longer sold — existing subscribers keep no ads + Template Studio until expiry |
| Legacy Pro Plus | pro_plus_monthly | No longer sold — existing subscribers keep full premium until expiry |
Exact prices are shown in the app and store at purchase time. Pro Full Monthly auto-renews unless cancelled in store settings before the renewal date.
All payments are processed by Google Play Billing (Android) or Apple StoreKit (iOS). We do not receive your credit card number. Entitlements are verified on-device and cached locally in SecureStore.
Refunds follow Google Play or Apple policies. Contact the store where you purchased. Email totuslife7@gmail.com for product questions only — we cannot process refunds directly.
Introductory pricing, promo codes, and regional pricing may be configured in Play Console / App Store Connect. Eligibility is determined by the store.
During internal testing, license testers may access IAP without charge per Google Play license testing.
We may use Google Play Integrity API to verify that the app is installed from Google Play and that purchases are licensed. Integrity checks occur on-device; we do not sell licensing data.
The app is not designed for children. We do not target ads to children and do not participate in Designed for Families.
New products or ad formats will be reflected here and in the Privacy Policy before or when they ship. See [JULY_2026_PLAY_POLICY.md](./JULY_2026_PLAY_POLICY.md) for the ads enablement checklist.
