Introduction

Welcome to the Birthday Reminder App! We understand the importance of remembering special occasions and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app to remind you of your loved ones’ birthdays and allow you to share those reminders. By using the Birthday Reminder App, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

Data Collection and Usage

To provide you with the birthday reminder service and sharing capabilities, our app may collect and use the following information:

• Birthday Information: Names and dates of birth of your contacts that you manually enter or import into the app.
• Contact Information (Optional): If you choose to import contacts from your device’s address book, we may access and store names and birthdates to streamline the process of adding birthdays. We will always ask for your explicit permission before accessing your contacts.
• Reminders Preferences: Your chosen settings for receiving birthday reminders (e.g., time of notification).
• Shared Content: When you choose to share a birthday reminder, the content you create for sharing (e.g., a birthday message) will be temporarily processed to facilitate the sharing process through your device’s sharing mechanisms. This content is not stored by our app beyond the sharing action.
• Device Information: We may collect non-personal information about your device, such as device type, operating system version, and app version, for analytics and to improve the app’s functionality and performance. This information does not identify you personally.

Data Sharing

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We will only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• With Your Consent: When you explicitly choose to share birthday information or reminders with others using your device’s sharing features (e.g., sending a message through a messaging app). In this case, you are in control of what information is shared and with whom.
• Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers to assist us with app analytics, but these providers will be contractually obligated to protect your information and will only have access to anonymized and aggregated data that does not personally identify you.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process, such as a court order or subpoena.

Data Retention and Deletion

• Birthday Information and Preferences: The birthday information and reminder preferences you enter are stored locally on your device. If you have granted permission to access your contacts, this information may also be stored within the app’s internal database on your device.
• Deleting Data: You can manage and delete the birthday information you have entered or imported directly within the app. If you wish to remove all data stored by the app, you can do so by clearing the app’s data or cache through your device’s settings or by uninstalling the application.
• No Server Storage: We do not store your personal birthday information or contact data on our servers. All data is kept securely on your device.

Security Measures

While we do not store sensitive personal information on external servers, we take reasonable measures to help protect the data stored locally on your device. These measures include following best practices for app development and encouraging users to maintain the security of their devices.

User Rights

As a Birthday Reminder App user, you have the right to:

• Access and Manage Your Data: You can view, modify, and delete the birthday information you have entered or imported within the app.
• Control Contact Access: You can choose whether or not to grant the app permission to access your device’s contacts. You can also revoke this permission at any time through your device’s settings.
• Uninstall the App: Removing the Birthday Reminder App from your device will delete all locally stored data associated with the app.
• Contact Us: If you have any questions or concerns about your privacy or this Privacy Policy, please reach out to us using the contact information provided below.

Any modifications will be posted within the app or on this page, and we encourage you to review it from time to time. The “Effective Date” at the top of this policy will indicate when the latest changes were made.
