1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to Aurelis Limited, the Essential Tools Collection, and any Aurelis Limited mobile app or website that links to this policy. It is intended to be available from the app and from App Store Connect or Google Play listing metadata.
2. Data We Collect
Depending on the features you use and the permissions you grant, we may collect or process the following categories of data:
- Account and contact data: email address, display name, login identifiers, and support messages when you create an account or contact us.
- User content: budgets, expense records, notes, PDF files, QR code history, app preferences, and other content that you create, upload, scan, or save in the app.
- Device and app data: device model, operating system version, app version, language, region, diagnostics, crash logs, performance data, and security logs.
- Location data: approximate or precise location only when you grant permission for location-based features such as weather forecasts. You may disable location access in your device settings.
- Camera, files, and media access: camera images for QR scanning and files or documents you choose for PDF tools. These permissions are used only for the feature you request.
- Purchase data: subscription or purchase status provided by Apple App Store, Google Play, or another payment processor. We do not receive your full payment card number.
3. How We Use Data
- Provide, maintain, sync, and improve app features.
- Save your settings, content, account state, and cross-device sync data when you choose to use those features.
- Process support requests, troubleshoot issues, prevent fraud, protect account security, and enforce our terms.
- Measure app reliability, performance, crashes, and feature usage in aggregated or diagnostic form.
- Comply with legal, tax, accounting, app store, and regulatory obligations.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party service providers only as needed to operate the app, such as cloud hosting, database storage, authentication, analytics, crash reporting, weather data providers, customer support tools, and payment platforms including Apple App Store and Google Play. These providers may process data on our behalf and must protect user data according to their contracts with us and applicable law.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share user data with third parties for their independent advertising purposes unless we first provide any legally required notice and obtain any required consent.
5. Permissions and User Choice
The app may request permissions such as camera, location, files, photos, notifications, or network access. Permission prompts are tied to specific features. You can decline or revoke permissions through iOS or Android settings. Some features may not work without the related permission.
6. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect user data, including encrypted transport where appropriate, access controls, and limited internal access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain personal data only for as long as needed to provide the app, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and maintain security. You may request account deletion, content deletion, or a copy of your data by contacting [email protected]. We will respond within a reasonable period required by applicable law. Some backup, transaction, security, or legal records may be retained for a limited period when required.
8. Children
Our services are not directed to children under 13 years old, or the minimum age required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
9. International Transfers
Your data may be processed in countries or regions outside your place of residence. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date and provide additional notice when required by law or app store policy.
