PocketLap Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Perlux ("we", "us") handles information in connection with PocketLap. Contact us at perluxtech@gmail.com.

1. No account registration

PocketLap does not require you to register an account. However, the app uses Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics, which process usage and diagnostic information. The absence of an account does not mean that no personal data is processed.

2. Automatic analytics and diagnostics

In the current version, analytics and crash reporting are enabled automatically when the app is first used. There is no in-app option to disable them.

Google Analytics for Firebase processes app interactions and usage events, together with associated technical information such as app version, device and operating-system information, and app-instance identifiers. With standard SDK settings, it also collects the Android Advertising ID when available and permitted by the operating system, and derives approximate location from IP addresses. Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses. Device settings can limit the availability of the Advertising ID; this does not disable all analytics collection.

Firebase Crashlytics processes crash reports, stack traces, app and device information, and installation identifiers. Diagnostic reports may include logs, event breadcrumbs and additional technical context included by the app or SDK. Native crash diagnostics may be processed when the relevant integration is enabled.

We use usage information to understand how PocketLap is used and improve its features. We use diagnostic information to investigate errors and improve stability.

3. Device features and other applications

PocketLap provides an environment in which you can run other applications. Device permissions, such as camera or microphone access, are managed through Android. You can review and revoke granted permissions in Android settings; affected features may then stop working. Revoking camera or microphone permission does not itself disable analytics or crash reporting.

Applications and services you choose to use within PocketLap may independently collect or transmit information under their own privacy policies. Downloads of system components or applications also require connections to the relevant download providers, which can receive network information such as your IP address.

4. Service providers and international processing

Analytics and diagnostic information is transmitted to Google through the services described above. Google may process it on infrastructure outside your country. Applicable Google service terms and data-protection arrangements govern that processing.

For details, see Privacy and Security in Firebase, Google Privacy Policy and Google's information about business data use.

5. Data retention

Google states that Crashlytics retains crash stack traces, extracted diagnostic data and associated identifiers for 90 days before beginning removal from live and backup systems.

Google Analytics for Firebase uses a two-month retention period for user-level and event-level data covered by its retention controls. With reset on new activity enabled, new activity renews the retention period for the user identifier; this does not extend the retention period of each historical event. Data that reaches the end of its retention period is removed through Google's monthly deletion process. Standard aggregated reports are not subject to this two-month retention limit and may remain available for longer. See Google Analytics data retention.

If you contact us by email, we process your email address and the information you provide to respond to your request. We retain correspondence for as long as necessary to handle the request and meet any applicable legal obligations.

6. Your choices and requests

You can contact perluxtech@gmail.com with questions or requests concerning access to, correction of, or deletion of your information. Depending on your location, additional rights may apply, including restriction, objection, portability and the right to complain to a data-protection authority.

Because PocketLap does not have user accounts, an email address alone may not identify the analytics or diagnostic records associated with a particular installation. We may need additional information to locate relevant records and verify a request.

Uninstalling PocketLap stops future collection by that installed app, but does not automatically delete information already transmitted to service providers. Deleting local app data also does not itself delete previously transmitted information.

7. Security

Google describes its technical and organizational security measures in its Firebase privacy and security documentation. No method of electronic storage or transmission can guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes and contact

We may update this policy to reflect changes to PocketLap or its data practices. The date at the top of this page identifies the latest revision. For privacy questions, contact Perlux at perluxtech@gmail.com.
