Privacy Policy for Emerald Invites App

This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled by the mobile application "Emerald Invites" (the "App"), developed by "Emerald Invites Team" ("we," "our," or "us").

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we do not collect, what information we access and why, and your rights regarding your information.

1. Information Collection and Use

The App is designed to display digital webpage invitations and facilitate viewing them. Here is a detailed breakdown of our data practices:

• Digital Invitations: The invitations you view are webpages loaded within the App. We do not control the content of these third-party webpages. You should review the privacy policy of any webpage you visit.
• Camera Permission (QR Code Scanning): The App requests permission to access your device's camera for the sole purpose of scanning QR codes to open digital invitations. We do not record, store, or transmit any images or video from your camera. The camera is used in real-time only to read the QR code, after which the data is discarded.
• Information Stored on Your Device: The App may store information locally on your device (e.g., your favorite templates, app preferences). This information never leaves your device and is permanently deleted when you uninstall the App or clear the App's data from your device's settings.
• Automatic Network Information: When the App loads a digital invitation (a webpage), your device makes a network request to fetch the necessary assets. During this process, certain non-personal, technical information is transmitted as part of standard internet communication protocols. This may include:
  • Your device's IP Address (required for all internet communication).
  • Screen size and resolution (to load appropriately sized images and layout).
  • Device type and operating system.

  This information is not stored or logged by us on our servers. It is processed by the web server hosting the invitation to deliver the correct content and is then discarded.

2. Third-Party Services

The App currently does not use any third-party services that collect user data. However, we plan to integrate the following service in the future to help us understand how the App is used and improve its performance:

• Google Firebase Analytics: In a future update, we may integrate Google Firebase Analytics. This service collects anonymous, non-personal data about app interactions, such as session duration, features used, and frequency of use. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you. We will update this Privacy Policy before enabling this service.

3. Data Sharing

Since we do not collect your personal data, we do not share any of your personal data with any third parties.

4. Data Retention

As stated above, we do not retain your personal data on our servers. Any information stored locally on your device (your preferences) is retained until you uninstall the App or manually clear the App's data.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Know what data is collected: As outlined in this policy, we are transparent about our practices.
• Access and Control Your Data: All data related to the App's functionality is stored locally on your device. You can delete this data at any time by uninstalling the App.
• Withdraw Permissions: You can manage the App's permissions (like Camera access) through your device's settings. Please note that revoking the camera permission will disable the QR code scanning feature.

6. Children's Privacy

Our App is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, we advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
