Cyberthetic ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Paranormal Chronicles mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how we handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy governs your use of the App and explains what data we collect, how we use it, your choices, and how we comply with Apple App Store and Google Play Store requirements.
1. Information We Collect
To provide our paranormal scanning, tracking, and communication services, we collect information you provide directly, data generated automatically, and data accessed through device permissions.
A. Information You Voluntarily Provide
- Account Information: When you register an account to interact with other believers, we collect your email address, username, password, and optional profile details.
- User-Generated Content (UGC): We collect any information, photos, text descriptions, or media you explicitly submit when creating paranormal reports, uploading sightings, or posting in community communication boards.
- Support Communications: When you contact us via our support email ([email protected]), we collect your email address and any additional details you provide to resolve your inquiry.
B. Device Permissions & Sensitive Data Handled
- Precise Location Data: To display recent UFO sightings relative to your current position, flag coordinates for a reported anomaly, and enable neighborhood alerts, the App requires access to your device's precise GPS coordinates. We only collect location data with your explicit opt-in consent.
- Camera Access: To scan the night sky for anomalies, analyze photos, and investigate the physical environment for paranormal energy signatures, the App requires permission to use your device's camera. Photos are processed locally or uploaded to our secure servers strictly when you explicitly decide to share them as a public sighting report.
C. Automatically Collected Data
- Log & Usage Information: We monitor App usage statistics, feature interaction metrics, crash logs, device models, and operating system versions to maintain performance and diagnose technical bugs.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process the gathered information to provide stable and entertaining app operations, including:
- Operating, improving, and optimizing the paranormal scanners, sighting maps, and tracking systems.
- Publishing your user-generated reports and forum posts to foster community communication.
- Enforcing strict User-Generated Content rules, including filtering objectionable content and executing 24-hour moderation turnarounds for reported abuse.
- Sending technical notices, service updates, policy modifications, and customer support responses.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, lease, or rent your personal data to advertisers or third parties. Your data is shared strictly under the following scenarios:
- Public Community View: Any sighting reports, text descriptions, or images you actively choose to post become visible to other registered users of Paranormal Chronicles.
- Service Providers: We may share minimized data infrastructure logs with cloud hosting vendors and database operators acting under confidentiality obligations strictly to run the App.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if required to do so under subpoena, applicable law, or to protect the safety and property of our users or the public.
4. Data Security and Retention
We implement industry-standard administrative and technical security measures to safe-keep your account data, location profiles, and media uploads. We retain personal data for as long as your account remains active or as required to fulfill the specific operational purposes detailed in this policy. You can delete your account and associated information directly within the App profile settings at any time.
5. Children's Privacy
The App is strictly rated for individuals aged 17 and older due to the presence of social community communication and supernatural themes. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete it from our servers.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You have full control over your privacy settings within the App and your device system configurations:
- Device Permissions: You can revoke location access or camera permissions at any point via your device system settings. Disabling these may cause features like the live tracking map or camera scanner to cease functioning.
- UGC Management & Account Deletion: You have the right to modify or request the removal of your posted sighting reports. To completely erase your profile information, you may utilize the in-app account deletion mechanism or reach out to our support channel.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy to stay current with evolving laws or App store criteria. Any updates will be designated by shifting the "Effective Date" at the header of this document. We encourage periodic review, and continued use of Paranormal Chronicles constitutes implicit acceptance of the modifications.
