CalmConnect values user privacy and is committed to being transparent about how data is handled. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and the choices users have when using the app.
Account Information
When a user first opens CalmConnect, they are required to create an account. Account creation and authentication are handled entirely through Firebase Authentication. This allows users to remain signed in so they do not need to log in again each time they open the app. CalmConnect does not directly store or manage user passwords.
Location Data (Optional)
CalmConnect may request access to location services to enable map-related features. Users can choose to allow location access, deny it, or allow it only while using the app. Location data is used solely to display nearby places through Apple Maps and is not stored by CalmConnect.
App Usage Requests
CalmConnect uses an OpenAI API to provide features such as sentence simplification or directions assistance. Text submitted for these features is processed to generate responses and is not used to identify users.
Information collected by CalmConnect is used only to:
Authenticate users and maintain login sessions
Provide map functionality through Apple Maps when location access is granted
Generate responses for sentence simplification or direction-related features
Ensure the app functions reliably and as intended
CalmConnect does not sell user data and does not use data for advertising purposes.
CalmConnect relies on the following third-party services:
Firebase for authentication and secure account management
Apple Maps for map display and location-based features
OpenAI for text-based assistance features
These services process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
CalmConnect relies on Firebase and Apple’s iOS security infrastructure to protect user data. All network communication is handled securely using system-provided encryption.
Users can manage location permissions at any time through their device settings.
Users may stop using CalmConnect at any time.
Users can request account deletion by contacting the developer.
CalmConnect does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page.
