Privacy Policy
This policy describes how John Rouda ("we", "us", or "our") handles information collected through our mobile applications and this website. We believe in transparency and minimal data collection.
Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Contact information. When you reach out via our contact form, you provide your name and email address.
- Usage data. We collect anonymized information about how you interact with our apps — features used, session duration, crash reports, device type (iOS/Android), OS version, and app version.
- Support messages. If you contact us, we retain that communication to respond and improve support.
We do not collect precise GPS location, financial information, government ID numbers, or health data.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our apps and services.
- Respond to your support requests and inquiries.
- Understand usage patterns to fix bugs and prioritize new features.
- Send important service notices (not marketing) when you have an account.
- Comply with legal obligations.
Analytics
We use third-party analytics tools (such as Firebase or similar) to collect anonymized usage statistics. These tools may set device identifiers to distinguish unique users but do not identify you by name.
You can opt out of analytics data collection in the app's Settings screen.
Data Sharing
We may share information with:
- Service providers who process data on our behalf (cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery) under written data-processing agreements.
- Law enforcement or regulators when required by applicable law or to protect the rights and safety of users.
- Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale — with advance notice provided to you.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. Upon a deletion request, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain it.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
- Opt out of analytics tracking via in-app Settings.
To exercise these rights, contact us at john@johnrouda.com or use our contact form. We will respond within 30 days.
Children's Privacy
Our apps are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.
Security
We implement industry-standard security measures — encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our apps may link to third-party websites or integrate with platforms such as the Apple App Store or Google Play. This policy does not cover those third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you within the app or by email. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
