Privacy Policy for LockedIn: The Couples Calendar

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use LockedIn and the permissions you grant.

Account Information

When you create or use an account, we may collect information such as:

• Email address
• First and last name or display name
• User account identifiers
• Authentication information and authentication provider information
• Account creation and login information

Authentication may be provided using Firebase Authentication and supported third-party authentication providers.

We do not receive or store your password when authentication is handled by a third-party authentication provider.

Content You Provide

LockedIn allows couples to organize and share information with each other. Depending on the features you use, information you provide may include:

• Calendar events
• Tasks and task assignments
• Shared routines
• Decisions and responses
• Event titles, descriptions, dates, and times
• Notes and other information you voluntarily enter
• Information associated with your connected couple or partner
• Files, images, or other content uploaded through features that support uploads

This information may be stored using Google Firebase services, including Cloud Firestore and Firebase Storage.

Because LockedIn is designed as a shared couples application, information you add to shared areas of the Service may be visible to the partner connected to your account.

You should only upload or share information that you have the right to provide.

Usage and Technical Information

We may automatically collect certain technical and usage information when you interact with the Service, including:

• Device type and model
• Operating system and version
• Application version
• IP address
• Device or application identifiers
• Language and regional settings
• General interaction and feature usage information
• Dates and times the Service is accessed
• Session information
• Diagnostic information
• Crash reports
• Performance information
• Error logs

We use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, analyze, and improve LockedIn.

Analytics

We use analytics technologies, including Firebase Analytics, to better understand how people use LockedIn.

Analytics information may include events such as application launches, feature interactions, session information, device information, and other information about how the Service is used.

We use this information to understand feature adoption, identify problems, evaluate application performance, and improve the Service.

Analytics data may be processed by Google in accordance with Google's applicable privacy terms and policies.

Crash and Diagnostic Information

We may use Firebase Crashlytics and similar diagnostic technologies to identify crashes, bugs, performance problems, and other technical issues.

Crash and diagnostic information may include device information, application state, operating system information, crash logs, technical identifiers, and information about events occurring before a crash.

We use this information to maintain the stability, reliability, and security of the Service.

2. Firebase and Cloud Services

LockedIn uses Google Firebase and related cloud infrastructure to provide core functionality.

Depending on the feature being used, Firebase services may include:

• Firebase Authentication for account authentication
• Cloud Firestore for application and account data
• Firebase Storage for user-uploaded content
• Firebase Analytics for application analytics
• Firebase Crashlytics for crash and diagnostic reporting
• Firebase Cloud Messaging or related services for notifications

Information processed through these services may be transmitted to and stored on infrastructure operated by Google and its service providers.

Google acts as a service provider or data processor for certain Firebase services and may process information according to its applicable terms and privacy policies.

3. Push Notifications

LockedIn may send push notifications for features such as reminders, shared activity, calendar events, tasks, routines, partner activity, application updates, or other relevant Service communications.

To provide notifications, we or our service providers may process:

• Push notification tokens
• Device identifiers
• Notification preferences
• Information necessary to determine when and where a notification should be delivered

You can control notification permissions through your device settings.

Disabling notifications will not prevent you from using other portions of LockedIn, although certain reminders or notification-dependent functionality may no longer work.

4. Advertising, Attribution, and Tracking

We may advertise LockedIn through third-party advertising platforms, including Meta platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

We may use advertising, attribution, or measurement technologies to understand whether advertising campaigns result in application installs or other relevant campaign outcomes.

Depending on your device settings, permissions, and the technologies used, these services may process information such as:

• Device or advertising identifiers
• Application installation or activation events
• Advertising campaign information
• Attribution information
• Device information
• IP address
• Interaction or conversion information
• Other identifiers permitted by your device and applicable law

We use this information primarily to measure advertising effectiveness, attribute application installs to advertising campaigns, and improve the performance of campaigns promoting LockedIn.

We do not sell your private calendar events, tasks, routines, decisions, or other private couple content to advertisers.

App Tracking Transparency

On Apple devices, certain forms of tracking require permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency ("ATT") framework.

Where Apple's policies or applicable law require permission, LockedIn will request authorization before accessing the device's advertising identifier or engaging in tracking that requires ATT authorization.

If you decline tracking permission, you can continue using LockedIn. Advertising measurement and attribution may be less precise.

You can change applicable tracking permissions through your iOS privacy settings.

5. How We Use Your Information

We may use information collected through LockedIn to:

• Create, authenticate, and maintain your account
• Provide shared calendar and couples functionality
• Connect you with your partner
• Store and synchronize events, tasks, routines, decisions, and other content
• Deliver notifications and reminders
• Maintain and operate the Service
• Diagnose crashes and technical problems
• Monitor application performance
• Prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and security incidents
• Provide customer support
• Understand how features are used
• Develop and improve existing features
• Develop new features and functionality
• Measure application advertising campaigns and install attribution
• Comply with applicable laws and legal obligations
• Enforce our agreements and protect our legal rights

We may also use aggregated or de-identified information that can no longer reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual for analytics, research, development, and other lawful purposes.

6. When We Share Information

We do not sell your private couple content.

We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

Service Providers

We may provide information to companies that perform services on our behalf, including providers of:

• Cloud hosting and storage
• Authentication
• Databases
• Analytics
• Crash reporting
• Push notifications
• Security and fraud prevention
• Advertising measurement and attribution

These providers may only receive information reasonably necessary to perform their respective services.

Your Connected Partner

LockedIn is designed to allow two people to coordinate and share information.

Information placed in shared portions of the Service may be accessible to the partner connected to your account. This may include calendar events, tasks, routines, decisions, and other shared content.

You are responsible for considering what information you choose to place in shared areas.

Legal Requirements

We may preserve, access, or disclose information when we reasonably believe doing so is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
• Respond to a subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful request
• Protect the rights or property of LockedIn
• Investigate suspected fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our agreements
• Protect the safety of our users or the public
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

Where legally permitted and reasonably practical, we may seek to notify affected users of legal requests for their information.

Business Transfers

If LockedIn or its assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information associated with the Service may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Any successor will be required to handle Personal Information in accordance with applicable law.

With Your Consent

We may disclose information for another purpose when you direct us to do so or otherwise provide consent.

7. Data Retention

We retain Personal Information for only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing the Service, maintaining security, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

Different categories of information may have different retention periods.

Account and application content may generally be retained while your account remains active.

Analytics, crash reports, logs, security information, and diagnostic information may be retained for a limited period according to our operational requirements and the retention settings of our service providers.

When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or aggregate it.

Residual copies may temporarily remain in backups, logs, caches, or disaster-recovery systems until those systems are overwritten according to normal retention schedules.

We may retain information for a longer period when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to legal proceedings, prevent fraud or abuse, resolve disputes, or protect our legal rights.

8. Account and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and associated Personal Information.

Where account deletion is available within LockedIn, you may initiate deletion through the application's account or settings features.

You may also contact us to request deletion.

Deleting an account may result in deletion or removal of information associated with that account from active systems. However, certain information may remain when:

• It is associated with another user's account or shared content
• Another user has independently created or retained the information
• Retention is required by law
• Retention is necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal claims
• Information remains temporarily in backups or disaster-recovery systems
• The information has been aggregated or de-identified so it can no longer reasonably identify you

When a couple relationship is disconnected, some shared information may remain available to the other participant depending on the nature of the content and how it was created.

9. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your Personal Information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to Personal Information we maintain about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain Personal Information
• Obtain information about how your Personal Information is processed
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Opt out of certain forms of targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or tracking where applicable
• Appeal certain decisions concerning privacy requests where applicable law provides such a right

You may also control certain privacy features directly through your device, including:

• Push notification permissions
• Tracking permissions
• Advertising-related privacy settings
• Application permissions

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain privacy requests.

10. U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.

Depending on the law and whether it applies to us, these rights may include access, correction, deletion, portability, and the ability to opt out of certain processing involving targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or profiling.

We will process applicable privacy requests in accordance with the laws that apply to us.

Our use of advertising or attribution technologies does not necessarily constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of Personal Information under every privacy law. Where applicable law provides an opt-out right for a particular processing activity, we will honor that right as required.

11. International Data Processing

Our Service Providers may operate infrastructure in multiple jurisdictions.

As a result, information may be processed or stored outside your state, province, or country, including in the United States.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of Personal Information.

12. Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect Personal Information.

These measures may include authentication controls, access restrictions, encrypted network communications, cloud security controls, and other security measures appropriate to the Service.

However, no internet transmission, storage system, application, or security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

You are responsible for protecting access to your account and device.

13. Children's Privacy

LockedIn is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 16.

If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 16 without legally sufficient authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a child has provided Personal Information to us, please contact us.

14. Third-Party Services and Links

LockedIn may interact with or contain links to third-party services.

Third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy policies, and their privacy practices are not controlled by this Privacy Policy.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services you use.

15. Do Not Track and Platform Privacy Controls

Some browsers, devices, and platforms provide "Do Not Track," Global Privacy Control, advertising preferences, or similar privacy signals.

Because these technologies and their legal requirements continue to evolve, our response to such signals may depend on the platform, technology, and applicable law.

Where we are legally required to recognize an applicable opt-out preference signal, we will process that signal as required by law.

Apple users may separately control application tracking through Apple's App Tracking Transparency settings.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to LockedIn, our technology, our Service Providers, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

If changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the Service or another appropriate method when required by law.

We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy.

17. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, would like to exercise an applicable privacy right, or would like to submit a privacy or deletion request, you may contact us using the contact information provided through LockedIn or its official website.

For privacy requests, please provide enough information for us to identify your account and understand your request. We may request additional information when reasonably necessary to verify your identity.
