Welcome to the Shopper app. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect information necessary for the app to function and to provide the services you expect. The types of data we may access or collect are described below:
1.1 Camera
We access your device camera only when you explicitly choose to capture a photo. Camera access is used for features such as uploading photos, verification, and content creation. We do not access the camera in the background or without your action.
1.2 Location
Shopper may request location data in two modes:
- Location When In Use: Used to provide location-based features while the app is open.
- Background (Always) Location: Used only for features that require continuous location updates (for example: live tracking). We will request this permission only if you enable features that require it.
We do not use location data for advertising or sell location information to third parties.
1.3 Photo Library
Read Access: Allows you to select and upload photos from your library.
Save Access: Allows the app to save edited or generated images back to your photo library. We only access photos you explicitly select.
1.4 Microphone
Microphone access is requested only when you use audio recording features. We do not record audio in the background without your knowledge.
1.5 Bluetooth
Bluetooth may be used to connect to supported nearby devices. We do not use Bluetooth signals for covert tracking or analytics.
1.6 Internet and Network
We use network access to communicate with our servers, sync data, and enable online features. Network information may be used for diagnostics and performance improvements.
1.7 Device & Usage Data
We may collect non-personal technical information such as device model, OS version, app version, and crash logs to improve app stability and performance.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and improve app features;
- Enable photo, audio, and location-based functionality;
- Diagnose, fix, and prevent technical issues;
- Secure user accounts and prevent abuse.
3. Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who help operate the app (for example, analytics providers or cloud hosts). These providers are contractually required to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.
4. Data Retention & Security
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide features or comply with legal obligations. We implement technical and administrative safeguards (for example encryption and access controls) to protect your information.
5. Your Choices
You have control over permissions through your device settings. You can disable camera, location, microphone, or photo access at any time. Disabling certain permissions may limit the functionality of the app.
6. Children
Shopper is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe your child has provided personal information, contact us to request deletion.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. We will post changes here with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
