Privacy Policy for GrowthRing

Effective Date: May 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how GrowthRing ("we", "our", or "us") handles information in connection with the mobile application GrowthRing (the "App").

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how user data is handled. This policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA).

1. About Us

GrowthRing is developed and maintained by an individual developer. Contact Email: wsy.032026@gmail.com

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any personally identifiable information from users.

2.1 Data You Provide

• No account registration or login is required.
• No names, emails, or contact details are collected.
• No user-submitted content is transmitted to external servers.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

The App does not use analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking tools. We do not collect device identifiers or usage behavior.

However, the App may access limited device functions strictly for functionality:

• Network state / Wi-Fi state: to determine connectivity
• Camera: only when the user explicitly uses camera features
• External storage / media access: to allow local file selection or saving images
• Vibration: for optional haptic feedback

All such data remains on your device and is not transmitted to us.

3. How We Use Information

Since we do not collect personal data, we do not use, sell, rent, or share user data with third parties.

Any locally stored data is used solely to provide core app functionality and remains under the user's control.

4. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services only for payment processing:

• Google Play Billing (Android in-app purchases)
• Apple In-App Purchase System (iOS, if applicable)

These providers may process payment-related information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not receive or store your payment details.

5. Advertising and Analytics

• No advertisements are displayed in the App.
• No advertising identifiers are collected or used.
• No analytics or tracking tools (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Facebook Pixel) are used.
• No user profiling or behavioral tracking is performed.

6. Data Storage and Security

All user data, if any exists locally (such as preferences or saved content), is stored only on the user’s device. We do not operate servers that store user data.

We implement reasonable technical measures to ensure the App functions securely, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is available to users under the age of 13. However:

• We do not knowingly collect personal data from children or any users.
• No account creation or personal information submission is required.
• If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. Your Privacy Rights

8.1 GDPR (European Users)

Under GDPR, users may have rights including:

• Right to access personal data
• Right to rectification
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to restrict processing
• Right to data portability

Since we do not collect personal data, most of these rights are inherently supported by design.

8.2 CCPA (California Users)

Under CCPA, users have the right to:

• Know what personal data is collected
• Request deletion of personal data
• Opt-out of sale of personal data

We do not sell, collect, or share personal data, therefore these rights are already respected by default.

8.3 CalOPPA Compliance

• This Privacy Policy is accessible via a clear link in the App Store listing.
• Users are notified of any changes through an updated policy version.
• We do not track users across third-party websites.

Do Not Track (DNT): The App does not track users, and therefore does not respond to DNT signals.

9. Data Retention

Since we do not collect user data, there is no data retention policy applicable. Any locally stored data remains on the user’s device until deleted by the user or the App is uninstalled.

10. International Data Transfers

We do not transfer or process personal data internationally because we do not collect or store personal data on servers.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within this page and will take effect immediately upon posting.
