Privacy Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

Aqua Growth ("the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data in our application. By using this App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. DATA COLLECTION

We do NOT collect any personal data. The App does NOT:

• Collect your name, email, or contact information
• Track your location or device information
• Gather analytics or usage statistics
• Transmit any data to external servers
• Share information with third parties

3. LOCAL DATA STORAGE

All data you enter (aquarium parameters, fertilizer schedules, test results, etc.) is stored EXCLUSIVELY on your device. This data:

• Remains on your device at all times
• Is never transmitted to any server
• Is never shared with any third party
• Can be deleted by uninstalling the App
• Is under your complete control

4. GDPR COMPLIANCE (EU Users)

This App is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) because:

• No personal data is collected or processed
• All data storage is local to your device
• You have full control over your data
• No data processors or controllers are involved
• No consent for data processing is required (as no processing occurs)
• Your right to erasure is automatic (uninstall the App)
• No data breach notification is needed (no data leaves your device)

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

This App does NOT integrate with any third-party services, APIs, or analytics platforms. There are no:

• Advertising networks
• Analytics services (Google Analytics, etc.)
• Cloud storage providers
• Social media integrations
• Payment processors
• External APIs or web services

6. PERMISSIONS

The App may request the following Android permissions:

• VIBRATE - To provide haptic feedback for notifications
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS - To send local reminders for dosing schedules
• WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - To store data locally

These permissions are used ONLY for app functionality on your device. No data is transmitted externally.

7. DATA SECURITY

Because all data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted, the security of your data is protected by:

• Your device's operating system security
• Your device's lock screen and encryption
• Android's app sandboxing

We recommend using device encryption and a secure lock screen to protect your data.

8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

This App does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13 (or 16 in the EU). Since no data is collected at all, the App is safe for all ages in terms of privacy.

9. YOUR RIGHTS

Since no personal data is collected or processed, traditional data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, etc.) do not apply. However, you have complete control over your aquarium data:

• Access: All your data is visible within the App
• Modification: You can edit or delete any data entries
• Erasure: Uninstall the App to permanently delete all data
• Portability: Data is stored in standard JSON format on your device

10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in app updates. The "Effective Date" at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised.
