Doter

Welcome to Doter's Privacy Policy. At Doter, we believe that your personal data belongs to you and you alone. This Privacy Policy explains our commitment to protecting your privacy and describes how we handle information in connection with the Doter mobile application ("App").

Doter is designed with a privacy-first philosophy. Unlike many applications, Doter does not require account registration, does not collect personal identification information, and stores all your data locally on your device. This policy outlines our practices and your rights regarding any information that may be processed through your use of our Services.

Doter is built on the principle of minimal data collection. We want to be transparent about what we do NOT collect:

Since Doter operates without user accounts, we have no mechanism to collect or store personal identification information. Your identity remains completely anonymous to us.

All data you create within Doter is stored exclusively on your device's local storage. This includes:

• Skill Information: Names, icons, colors, and progress percentages of skills you create
• Practice Records: Session dates, practice notes, breakthrough descriptions, and progress changes
• Photographs: Images you attach to your practice records are stored in the App's local document directory
• Preferences: Your app settings and display preferences
• Virtual Currency Balance: Your coin balance for in-app features

Doter requests access to your device's photo library and camera for the following purposes:

• Camera Access: To allow you to take photos directly within the App to document your practice sessions
• Photo Library Access: To enable you to select existing photos from your device to attach to practice records

Important privacy assurances regarding photo access:

• Photos you select or capture are copied to the App's local storage and are never uploaded to external servers
• We do not access, scan, analyze, or process your photos in any way beyond displaying them within the App
• You can deny photo access and still use all other features of Doter
• You can revoke photo access at any time through your device's Settings

Doter offers in-app purchases through Apple's App Store payment system. Regarding purchase-related information:

• Payment Processing: All payment transactions are processed entirely by Apple. We do not receive, store, or have access to your payment information, credit card details, or Apple ID.
• Purchase Records: Apple maintains records of your purchases. We only receive confirmation that a purchase was completed to credit your coin balance.
• Coin Balance: Your virtual currency balance is stored locally on your device and is not linked to any personal identifier.

For questions about payment processing, please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy and App Store Terms of Service.

Doter respects your privacy choices regarding tracking and analytics:

• App Tracking Transparency: Doter complies with Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework. We will request your permission before tracking your activity across other companies' apps and websites.
• No Third-Party Analytics: We do not integrate third-party analytics services that collect personal information.
• No Advertising: Doter does not display advertisements and does not share data with advertising networks.
• No Cross-App Tracking: We do not track your activity outside of the Doter App.

While we do not collect your data on external servers, we are committed to the security of the App itself:

• Local Storage Security: Data stored by Doter is protected by your device's built-in security features, including device passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.
• No Network Transmission: Your skill data, practice records, and photos are never transmitted over the internet to our servers.
• Secure Development: We follow secure coding practices to protect the App from vulnerabilities.
• Regular Updates: We release updates to address any security concerns and improve the App's protection.

Your device's security is the primary protection for your Doter data. We strongly recommend:

• Using a strong device passcode
• Enabling Face ID or Touch ID
• Keeping your device's operating system updated
• Regularly backing up your device

Doter is designed to be safe for users of all ages. Our approach to children's privacy:

• No Personal Data Collection: Since we do not collect personal information from any users, we do not collect personal information from children.
• COPPA Compliance: Doter complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by not collecting personal information from children under 13.
• Parental Control: Parents can manage their children's use of Doter through iOS Screen Time and parental control features.
• In-App Purchases: Parents can disable in-app purchases through device settings to prevent unauthorized purchases.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately. However, given our privacy-first design, this scenario is highly unlikely.

Doter is available to users worldwide. Regarding international privacy considerations:

• Local Data Storage: Since all data is stored on your device, your information remains in your jurisdiction and is not transferred internationally.
• GDPR Compliance: For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), Doter's privacy-first design inherently complies with GDPR principles by not collecting personal data.
• CCPA Compliance: For California residents, Doter complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Since we do not collect personal information, there is no data to sell or share.
• Other Jurisdictions: We strive to comply with privacy laws in all jurisdictions where Doter is available.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. With Doter's privacy-first design:

• Right to Access: All your data is already accessible to you directly within the App on your device.
• Right to Deletion: You can delete any skill, record, or photo at any time within the App. Uninstalling the App removes all data.
• Right to Portability: You can export growth reports to share or archive your progress data.
• Right to Rectification: You can edit your skills and records at any time within the App.
• Right to Object: Since we do not process your data, there is no processing to object to.

If you have questions about exercising your privacy rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons:

• Notification: We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy within the App and updating the "Last Updated" date.
• Review: We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
• Continued Use: Your continued use of Doter after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

Doter integrates with the following third-party services:

• Apple App Store: For app distribution and in-app purchases. Apple's Privacy Policy governs their handling of your information.
• iOS Share Sheet: When you export reports, the iOS share functionality is used. Sharing is controlled by you and the apps you choose to share with.

We do not integrate with social media platforms, advertising networks, or third-party analytics services that would collect your personal information.

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Retention Period: Your data remains on your device for as long as you keep the App installed and do not delete the data.
• Deletion: You can delete individual records, skills, or photos at any time. Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all Doter data from your device.
• No Server Retention: We do not retain any of your data on external servers, so there is no server-side data to delete.
