Welcome to ChnochApp. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how our application operates regarding your information, both locally and via our cloud features.
ChnochApp offers a hybrid approach to data management to ensure both privacy and functionality:
Local Storage (Room Database): Most of your personal event data is stored locally on your device. You have full control over this data.
Cloud Synchronization (Firebase): To enable our Shared Groups feature, the app uses Google Firebase. When you create or join a group, specific data (such as event titles and associated phone numbers) is uploaded to Firebase Firestore to allow real-time sharing with your selected group members.
Anonymous Authentication: We use Firebase Anonymous Auth to create a secure, unique identifier for your device. This allows your data to stay synced without requiring your name, email, or password.
To provide its core features, ChnochApp may request the following permissions:
Contacts: To allow you to pick a contact for an event and retrieve their phone number. This data is stored locally unless you choose to share the event in a Group.
Notifications & Alarms: To provide timely reminders for your saved events.
Internet Access: Required for the Shared Groups feature and Firebase synchronization.
Data Types Collected: We collect Device IDs (via Firebase), User IDs (Anonymous UID), and any content you voluntarily upload to shared groups (e.g., event details and phone numbers).
No Third-Party Selling: We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Data uploaded to Firebase is used solely for the functionality of the app.
Service Providers: We use Google Firebase to provide cloud infrastructure. Their privacy practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
User Control: You can delete local data by clearing the app cache or uninstalling the app.
Account Deletion: Users can request the deletion of their anonymous account and all associated cloud data directly through the app's settings or by contacting us via the link provided in our Google Play Store listing.
ChnochApp does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. Since our cloud features involve user-generated content (group sharing), we encourage parental supervision.
