Privacy Policy
Welcome to Looped Hands! We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Looped Hands ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our mobile application (the "Service").
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE APPLICATION.
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Application depends on the content and materials you use, and includes:
A. Personal Data You Provide to Us
Account Information: When you register for an account, we may collect information such as your username, email address, password, and profile picture.
User Content: As a food social sharing app, we collect the content you create and share. This includes photos, videos, recipes, comments, likes, and other materials you post to the Service.
B. Information Collected Automatically
Usage Data: We may automatically collect information about how you access and use the Service, such as your IP address, device type, operating system, and your activity within the app (like pages viewed and features used).
We use the information we collect to:
Create and manage your account.
Provide, operate, and maintain the core Service (i.e., allow you to share and view food-related content).
Enable user-to-user interactions.
Improve, personalize, and expand our Service.
Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service and to provide you with updates.
Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience.
This is a key part of our Service. To allow you to share your food experiences, the Looped Hands app requires permission to access your device's camera and/or photo library (e.g., Photos, Gallery, Images).
Why we need this permission: We request this access so you can:
Upload existing photos or videos of food from your device's library to share on your profile.
Take a new photo or video of your food directly using your device's camera from within the app.
Select a profile picture from your device's library.
How we use this access: We will only access your photo library or camera when you specifically choose to upload content or take a new photo. We do not scan, view, or access your entire photo library for any other purpose, and we only process the specific media files you select to share.
Your information may be disclosed as follows:
With Other Users: Your public-facing profile information (like your username) and any User Content (like your food photos and comments) will be visible to other users of the Service.
With Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors and service providers that help us operate our app, such as cloud hosting services (e.g., AWS, Firebase) or analytics providers.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
Our Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the Application and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
