This data is collected solely to improve app stability, performance, and overall user experience.

Note on Functionality:
AuraLens is an entertainment application designed to simulate "aura" or "vibe" analysis for fun. It is not a matchmaking, dating, or social networking service.

Approximate Location

Exact GPS location is never collected or tracked.

Photos & Media

The Application accesses images only when you explicitly select a photo for aura analysis.

• Images are processed locally on your device

Camera Access

The Application may use the device camera only when you choose to capture an image for aura scanning.

• Camera access is entirely user-initiated

Vibration

Vibration is used only for basic user feedback (such as button interactions or alerts).
No personal or usage data is collected through vibration.

2. Background Tasks & Notifications

WorkManager Usage

The Application uses Android WorkManager to schedule periodic background tasks required for core functionality, such as delivering daily reminders and notifications.

• Background tasks run locally on the device

• No personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted through these tasks
