1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Hymn App ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Data We Collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Account details (optional): name, email, profile photo.
- Content you add: favorites, playlists, notes or annotations on hymns.
- Support messages: information you send when you contact us.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Usage data: app screens you view, features you use, and in‑app events.
- Device & diagnostics: device model, OS version, app version, language, crash logs, performance data, and approximate location derived from IP address.
- Cookies/local storage (if you use our web features): small data files stored on your device to keep you signed in and remember preferences.
2.3 Information from third parties
- Sign‑in providers (e.g., Google/Apple), if you choose to link an account.
- Analytics or crash reporting partners that help us understand app performance.
3. How We Use Data
- Provide, operate, and personalize the Services (e.g., save your hymn favorites and preferences).
- Improve reliability, performance, and user experience through analytics and diagnostics.
- Communicate with you about updates, new features, or important service notices.
- Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents, and comply with legal obligations.
4. Legal Bases (EEA/UK users)
- Performance of a contract: to deliver the app and features you request.
- Legitimate interests: to maintain and improve the Services and keep them secure.
- Consent: for optional features where required by law (e.g., notifications, marketing).
- Legal obligation: to meet compliance and regulatory requirements.
5. When We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, crash reporting, email delivery). They are bound by confidentiality and data‑processing terms.
- Legal and safety reasons: to comply with law, respond to legal requests, or protect rights, property, and safety.
- Business transfers: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When no longer needed, we take steps to delete or anonymize it.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights & Choices
- Access, correction, deletion: You can request a copy, correction, or deletion of your personal information.
- Portability: Where applicable, request your data in a portable format.
- Opt‑out: You can opt out of non‑essential analytics/marketing where offered. You can also control notifications in your device settings.
- Do Not Track: We don’t respond to DNT signals. App‑level privacy controls vary by platform.
- CCPA/CPRA (California): We do not sell personal information. California residents can request access or deletion.
- EEA/UK: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests and lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. International Transfers
We may process and store information in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your information.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version with a new “Last Updated” date and, if changes are material, we will provide additional notice (for example within the app).
