The free tier may show a labeled Sponsored image or video in the panel. Ads are downloaded once and played from local storage on your device.

We do not collect personal information or store your lookups on our servers. The free app may show panel ads; our ad service may infer country or region from your connection for delivery. No selling of your data.
