By downloading, installing, or using the Simple Path app, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

When you create and use a Simple Path account, we may collect information that you provide to us, such as:

• Email address — used to create and manage your account, sign you in, and communicate important service-related information.

• Account information — used to maintain your Simple Path account and provide app functionality.

• Subscription or purchase information — used to provide and manage subscription features and confirm access to paid features. Payment details are processed by the applicable app store or payment provider rather than being directly stored by Simple Path, where applicable.

We may automatically collect certain technical and usage information when you use Simple Path. This information helps us operate, understand, secure, and improve the app.

This may include:

Some of this information may be collected automatically by third-party services integrated into the app, such as analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, subscription, or infrastructure services.

Third-Party Collected Data

Some information may also be collected by trusted third-party services integrated into the app for analytics, advertising, subscriptions, crash reporting, authentication, and infrastructure.

Simple Path does not use the information described above for cross-app or cross-website tracking for targeted advertising or advertising measurement unless otherwise disclosed and permitted in accordance with applicable requirements.

Where permission is required by applicable law or platform rules, we will obtain the appropriate user permission before using information for tracking or personalized advertising. On iOS, users can manage privacy and advertising-related settings through their device settings, including App Tracking Transparency settings where applicable.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and maintain security.

Different types of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose and the requirements of applicable law.

Account information is generally retained until you delete your account, unless we are required or permitted to retain certain information for legitimate business or legal purposes.

Analytics, diagnostic, and technical information may be retained according to the retention settings and policies of the third-party services we use.

When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect user data, including:

• Encryption of data transmitted between the app and our services where supported

• Secure cloud infrastructure provided by trusted partners

• Restricted internal access to sensitive information

Although we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, no system can guarantee absolute security.

Simple Path and its third-party service providers may process and store information in countries other than the country where you live.

These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable data protection laws, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.
