 Privacy Policy for Computer 247 

Effective Date: July 14, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how "Rahul Sharma" ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information in connection with your use of the "Computer 247" mobile application (the "App").

  1. Information We Collect

    We are committed to protecting your privacy. The App collects certain types of information to provide and improve its services.

    a. Information Collected Automatically: When you use the App, we automatically collect certain information about your device and how you interact with the App. This information includes:

    • Identifiers: Device identifiers (such as Android ID) and other unique identifiers related to your app installation, including your Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) registration token.

      • Purpose: Used for app functionality (e.g., checking for updates, sending push notifications), internal analytics (understanding general app usage patterns), and developer communications (for debugging and identifying issues specific to certain device types or app versions).

    • App Activity: Information about your interactions with the App, such as pages viewed, content accessed (e.g., blog posts, terms, abbreviations, daily computer facts, quiz questions), and features used (e.g., share function, navigation).

      • Purpose: Used for app functionality (e.g., enabling content display, navigation), internal analytics (understanding user engagement and content consumption), and potential future personalization (e.g., suggesting content).

    • App Info & Performance (Crash Logs & Diagnostics): Information about how the App performs, including crash logs and diagnostic data (e.g., network status).

      • Purpose: Used for app functionality (ensuring stability and performance), internal analytics (monitoring app health, diagnosing and fixing bugs/crashes), and developer communications (for understanding issues and improving the app).

    b. Information You Provide (Voluntarily):

    • Email Address: If you choose to use the "Feedback / Report a Bug" feature within the App, it will initiate an email from your device's default email client to apps.rahulsharma@gmail.com. Your email address, as configured in your email client, will be visible to us.

      • Purpose: This information is collected solely for Developer communications, allowing us to receive and respond to your feedback, questions, or bug reports. Providing feedback is entirely optional, and your use of the core App functionality does not depend on providing your email address.

  2. How We Use Information

    We use the collected information for the following purposes:

    • To provide and maintain the App: Ensuring the App functions correctly, delivers content (blog posts, terms, abbreviations, daily computer facts, quizzes), and offers its core features.

    • To send you notifications: We use your FCM registration token to send you important announcements, new content alerts, and other relevant information via push notifications.

    • To understand and analyze App usage: Through internal analytics, we monitor app performance, identify areas for improvement, and understand user engagement.

    • To improve and develop new features: Using crash logs and diagnostic data to fix bugs, enhance stability, and inform future app developments.

    • To communicate with you: If you send us feedback via email, we will use your email address to respond to your queries or issues.

  3. How Information is Stored and Protected

    • Encryption in Transit: All user data collected by our App that is transmitted off the user's device (e.g., communication with the Blogger API, Firebase Cloud Messaging services, implicit crash log transmission) is encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS (HTTPS) encryption.

    • Local Storage: The "Daily Dose of Computer" facts and the date they were last shown are stored locally on your device using SharedPreferences. This data is not transmitted off your device.

    • Security Measures: We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

  4. Data Retention

    We retain automatically collected app activity, device IDs, FCM registration tokens, crash logs, and diagnostic data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, typically for analysis to improve the App. If you contact us via email, we will retain your email correspondence for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for our records.

  5. Sharing of Information

    We do not share the user data collected by this App with any third parties beyond what is necessary for the App's core functionality and internal analytics. This includes:

    • Firebase: Your FCM registration token and certain app usage data are shared with Google's Firebase services (specifically Firebase Cloud Messaging and Firebase Analytics, which is implicitly used by Firebase products) for the sole purpose of delivering notifications and improving app functionality and performance.

    • Google Play Services: Data may be implicitly handled by Google Play Services for app updates, crash reporting, and other platform-level services.

    Your email address provided via the feedback mechanism is for direct communication with us and is not shared with other third parties.

  6. Children's Privacy

    The App is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

  7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

    We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
