My Virtual Girlfriend is a one-woman operation. Nothing sits above it: no parent firm, no group, no holding, and nobody on staff. The author named on the pages is me, the operator, so the person answerable for every sentence here is also the one who opens your email.

Sole proprietors like me have no company register entry and no VAT number, so neither appears here. If I ever move the site into a company, or anything else about that changes, I will update this notice with the new information and say from which date it applies.

You can read the full editorial rules on my editorial policy. The core of them fits in a few lines. Facts about each app live in a dated record, and pages print from that record.

Every review is built on my own dated notes, made while I had the app on the free plan or a paid one, somewhere between 2023 and 2026. Prices, plans and policies are taken from what each company publishes on its own pages and in its terms, and each fact keeps its check date. Reports from other reviewers are credited to them.

A label on each review tells you which kind it is, and no page invents a paid test.

If your request concerns personal data, for instance seeing or deleting a newsletter address, send it to [email protected]. What I keep, why I keep it and how long it stays are all spelled out in the privacy policy.

I always welcome corrections and handle them before anything else, because an error in a price can hit a reader's wallet. The corrections page keeps a dated entry for each one. My contact page lists what else I can help with and what falls outside what I do.

Sending me something formal? Four details help me deal with it quickly: the page or pages involved, a sentence or two describing the problem, any link or document that backs it up, and how you would like my answer. Nearly everything works fine by email; a letter is there for when you want it on paper.

Apps decide their own prices, allowances and rules, and they revise them all the time. I print a check date on every fact, and once a price is more than thirty days old I stop showing it. Still, an app can move its prices, plans or rules in between my checks, price the same plan differently by country, or put a different offer in front of your account.

The final say on what you are charged and what you receive always rests with the app's checkout and its own terms.

My verdicts, including who I think an app suits and who I think should skip it, are my opinion of the facts as they stood when I wrote the page, and I present them as opinion. When I pass along something another review site says about how an app behaves, I name it as their finding, not mine.

I work hard to keep everything correct and current. I cannot promise, though, that each fact is complete, right and current every minute of the day. As far as the law allows, the content comes without any warranty.

I am not liable for what you decide based on it, including anything you buy from a third-party app, unless the law says liability cannot be excluded, as with gross negligence or intent. Catch an error? Tell me, and I will fix it for everyone.

Nothing is for sale here. I sell no subscriptions, coins, tokens or products of any kind. Buying from an app puts you in a contract with the company that runs it, on its terms, so questions about charges, refunds, cancelling or getting into your account go to that company.

I look at a linked page when I add the link, to be sure it fits the text, but I do not keep watching it afterwards. Found a dead link, or one pointing somewhere unlawful? Let me know and I will take it out or swap it for a better one.

A share of these links earn me money: they are affiliate links. Join or pay for an app after following one, and that app may pay me a commission, and it never adds a cent to your price. Every partner link is tagged rel="sponsored".

My affiliate disclosure goes through the whole arrangement: what it may affect, for example the order of apps on some lists, and what it has no effect on at all, for example the facts a page prints about any app.

The screenshots I show are of app screens and pricing pages, they support factual points about each product, and none of them shows people.

Think something here breaks your rights? Email [email protected] and tell me the page, what the material is and why you believe it infringes. I will look into it quickly and take it down if you are right.

Beyond it, the only personal data that can reach me is a newsletter email address you decide to give, plus anything you write to me. I run no ad networks and never sell or rent anyone's data.

Once the newsletter starts, signing up will be up to you. I will send it myself, every issue will have an unsubscribe link, and the privacy policy will describe it, together with any service I use to send it. Reading any page, or using any deal I list, will never depend on subscribing.

Then the store deals with the refund or cancellation for that purchase, not the app. Paid by card on a website and the app never replies? The bank or company that issued your card can walk you through disputing the charge.

Each review sets out what I know about cancelling that app, the refund rules and the merchant name on your bank statement, with the date I last confirmed them. If your own experience does not match what a review says, please write to me, so I can correct the record for the next reader.

For the scope of the site, the way it names content levels and what it refuses to show, read the content notice.

A label is not a rating, not a seal of approval and not an endorsement, and it tells you nothing about whether the company behind an app likes the page. Each reviewed app also has a score out of 10. That score is my opinion, formed from using the app myself and reading its official pages; it is no certificate or lab result, and it guarantees nothing.

A coupon or discount I show was spotted on the date printed beside it, and the app can end it without notice, keep it for new customers only, or add conditions I have no way to see. Look at the total at checkout every time, before you confirm.

A lot of legal pages look as if they were built never to be read. This one is short on purpose, with the important parts in plain words: who is behind the site, how you can reach me, what the site does and does not do, and where to turn when your trouble is with an app and not with My Virtual Girlfriend. If something here confuses you, write and ask me. When the same question reaches me twice, I add the answer to this page.
