2. Information We Collect

2.1 Anonymized User ID

• We store a randomly generated, anonymized user ID to track usage of the app (e.g., app usage frequency, feature engagement, crash reports).
• This anonymized ID cannot be used to directly identify you or reveal your personal identity.

2.2 No Personal Data

• We do not store your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To Provide and Maintain the Service: We use the anonymized user ID to identify unique app sessions and collect analytics regarding how users interact with Chad App.
• Usage Analytics: We analyze anonymized usage data (e.g., frequency of visits, interactions with app features) to improve our app's functionality, user experience, and overall performance.
• Crash Reporting and Diagnostics: In the event of app errors or crashes, we may use the anonymized user ID to diagnose and resolve technical issues.

Our lawful basis for processing this limited data is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving our services (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Data Retention

• We retain the anonymized user ID and associated usage data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
• Once the data is no longer required, we will either delete it or irreversibly anonymize it.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

• Service Providers: We may share anonymized analytics data with trusted third-party service providers who help us analyze app usage, diagnose crashes, or host our infrastructure. These service providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection obligations.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, anonymized user data may be among the transferred assets. We will ensure that any such transfer is subject to suitable confidentiality and data protection measures.

6. International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process anonymized usage data within the EEA. If we transfer data outside the EEA, we will ensure an adequate level of protection (e.g., by implementing EU Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses).

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. Although we do not store personally identifiable information, should you feel the anonymized data pertains to you:

1. Right of Access: You have the right to request access to the data we hold about you.

4. Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request the restriction of our processing of your data in certain circumstances.
5. Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format in certain circumstances.
6. Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
7. Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe we are processing your data unlawfully.

Since we only collect anonymized IDs, we may be unable to associate any data with a specific individual. However, if you have any concerns or requests, please contact us at privacy@chadapp.com.

We have implemented technical and organizational measures to protect the anonymized data we collect. Despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect, and we cannot guarantee absolute security against all threats.
