# Privacy Policy

**Last Updated:** 2026-01-25

## 1. Introduction

Welcome to Follower Count. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app.

## 2. Data Collection and Usage

Our app operates primarily locally on your device. We do not maintain a separate user database or collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number for our own records.

### 2.1 Local Data Storage

The app uses local storage on your device (via "Shared Preferences" and the file system) to save your settings, such as your follower count history, preferences, and app configuration. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

### 2.2 Media and Files

The app allows you to create and export images or videos of your follower counts. To do this, we require access to your device's photo library/gallery to save these files.

- **Photos/Media/Files:** We use this permission strictly to save the content you generate (screenshots/videos) to your device's gallery. We do not access or collect your private photos.

## 3. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to facilitate specific features of the app. These providers may collect data according to their own privacy policies.

### 3.1 In-App Purchases (RevenueCat)

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions.

- **Data Collected:** Purchase history, subscription status, and anonymous app user IDs.

- **Purpose:** To validate your premium status and restore purchases.

- **Payment Information:** We do not process or store your credit card or payment details. All financial transactions are handled securely by the respective app stores (Apple App Store or Google Play Store).

## 4. Permissions

The app may request the following permissions to function correctly:

- **Photo Library / Storage:** Required to save exported images and videos to your device.

- **Camera:** The app includes a permission request for the camera in its configuration. If used, this would be solely for app functionality and not for unauthorized data collection. (Note: Current analysis indicates this may not be actively used, but permission exists).

## 5. Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

## 6. Changes to This 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.
