Seelog Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how Seelog ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, protects, and discloses information in connection with the Seelog mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of any information that you may provide while using the App. This Policy applies to all users of the App and complies with applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), where applicable. By using the App, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Seelog is designed to prioritize user privacy, and we do not collect or require the following types of information:

Account information (e.g., usernames, passwords, email addresses for login purposes) - the App does not require account creation or login
Personal identification information (e.g., full name, date of birth, address, phone number) unless voluntarily provided for support purposes
Location data (geolocation information from your device)
Contact lists or social media connections
Biometric data (e.g., facial recognition, fingerprint data)

3. Information We Collect Automatically

3.1 Device and Usage Data

To provide and improve the functionality of the App, we may automatically collect limited, non-identifiable information about your device and usage patterns, including:

Device type, model, and iOS version
Unique device identifier (UDID) or advertising identifier (IDFA) (only if you have granted permission for App Tracking Transparency (ATT))
App usage statistics (e.g., features used, session duration, number of edits performed)
Crash reports and technical error logs (to diagnose and fix App issues)
Network type (Wi-Fi/cellular) for optimizing App performance

All automatically collected data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify individual users. We do not link this data to any personal information that could identify you.

3.2 In-App Purchase Data

When you make in-app purchases (e.g., coin bundles), we may collect transaction-related information such as purchase amount, purchase date, and product ID. This information is collected solely to process your purchase, verify transaction details, and provide customer support related to your purchase. We do not store payment card information or other financial details, as all transactions are processed through the applicable app store (e.g., Apple App Store) which handles payment processing securely.

4. Information We Collect with Your Consent

4.1 Photo Album Access

To enable core photo editing functionality, the App requests access to your device's photo album. This access is required to import photos for editing and save edited renders back to your album. We do not access, view, or store your photos on our servers unless you explicitly choose to share them with us for support purposes. All photo editing is performed locally on your device, and your photos remain under your control at all times. You may revoke photo album access at any time through your device's settings, though this will limit your ability to use the App's core features.

4.2 App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

In compliance with iOS requirements, we request your permission to track your activity across other apps and websites owned by third parties for advertising purposes. If you grant this permission, we may use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) to deliver personalized ads. If you decline this permission, we will not track your activity outside of the App, and all advertising (if any) will be non-personalized. You may change your ATT preferences at any time in your device's settings.

5. How We Use Collected Information

We use the information collected (as described above) for the following purposes:

To provide, maintain, and improve the App's functionality and performance
To process and fulfill in-app purchases
To diagnose and fix technical issues and bugs
To analyze usage patterns and optimize the App's user experience
To respond to customer support inquiries and resolve issues
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our User Agreement
To deliver non-intrusive, non-personalized advertising (only if you have granted ATT permission)

We will never use your information for any purpose not explicitly stated in this Policy without first obtaining your consent.

6. Data Storage and Security

6.1 Data Storage

All anonymized device and usage data is stored on secure servers with industry-standard encryption. In-app purchase data is stored for a limited period (typically 2 years) to fulfill our record-keeping obligations and provide customer support. All photo editing data is stored locally on your device only—we do not upload or store your photos, edits, or editing parameters on our servers unless you explicitly choose to share them with us for support purposes.

6.2 Data Security

We implement a range of security measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include:

Encryption of data in transit and at rest
Access controls to limit employee access to data
Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
Compliance with iOS security guidelines and best practices

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously update our security measures to address emerging threats.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for any reason. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with third-party service providers (e.g., analytics companies) to help us improve the App, but this data cannot identify individual users. We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., court orders or subpoenas). We may also disclose information to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

8. User Rights and Controls

You have the following rights regarding your information:

Right to access: You may request a copy of any anonymized data we have collected about your device and usage
Right to deletion: You may request the deletion of any transaction data we have stored related to your in-app purchases
Right to opt out: You may opt out of App tracking at any time through your device's ATT settings
Right to revoke permissions: You may revoke photo album access or other permissions at any time through your device's settings

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address provided in this Policy. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe (typically 30 days) in accordance with applicable laws.

9. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us to request deletion.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the App or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after any changes to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

11. International Data Transfers

If you are using the App outside of the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries. These countries may have different data protection laws than your country of residence. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries. We ensure that all international data transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and are protected by appropriate safeguards.
