Koru - Privacy Policy 

Brugmansia Studio ("we", "us", or "our") built the Koru app as a Commercial app. This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use our Service.

If you choose to use Koru, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

For a better experience, while using our Service, Koru may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information or permissions. The information that we request will be retained on your device and/or your personal cloud storage (Google Drive) and is not collected by us explicitly.

Types of Data Processed:

• Gallery & Media (Photos and Videos): The app allows you to select and store photos and videos in your personal in-app gallery (e.g., to illustrate memories or diary entries). These media files are stored strictly in your device's local storage or in your private Google Drive backup. Brugmansia Studio does not have access to, does not view, and does not process your photos or videos.

• Health Data (Menstrual Cycle): The app allows you to log menstrual cycle dates, symptoms, and moods. This data is used exclusively to calculate cycle predictions and display your history.

• Financial Data: The app allows logging of transactions, income, and expenses for personal organization.

• User Content: Diary entries, notes, and text input by you.

2. Data Storage & Backup (Google Drive)

Koru is an "Offline-First" application. This means:

• All your data (diary, photos, videos, cycle, finance) is stored locally in your device's database.

• We (Brugmansia Studio) DO NOT have access to your data. We do not own servers that collect your information.

Cloud Backup: We provide a backup feature using Google Drive. When you enable this:

1. The app requests permission to access only the files created by Koru itself (drive.file scope).

2. Your data (including gallery photos and videos) is encrypted and sent directly from your phone to your personal Google Drive account.

3. We do not have access to and cannot read your backups. They belong solely to you.

3. Location Data

Koru does NOT collect, store, transmit, or share your precise or approximate location. We do not use GPS or location tracking technologies.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information, photos, videos, or health data to third parties. Since data resides on your device, you maintain full control over it.

5. Security

We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information. We use encryption for the local database and secure protocols (HTTPS) for communicating with Google Drive. Additionally, the app offers an "App Lock" feature (Password/Biometrics) to prevent unauthorized access to the app on your physical device.

6. Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
