Beauty Bounty Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 11, 2025

Welcome to Beauty Bounty! We're dedicated to safeguarding your privacy while providing you with an exceptional app experience. This document outlines our practices regarding data collection and usage. By using our iOS app, you're agreeing to the terms described here.

Our Approach to Data

At Beauty Bounty, we prioritize your privacy. We've designed our app to function with minimal data collection, focusing only on what's necessary to deliver and improve our service.

What We Gather

1. Anonymous User IDs: We utilize Firebase's anonymous authentication system. This allows you to use our app without sharing personal details.
2. App Interaction Data: We collect non-personal information about how you use Beauty Bounty. This includes things like which features you use most and how you navigate through the app.
3. Device Information: We collect basic device information including device brand, model name, operating system name and version for analytics and performance optimization purposes.
4. Push Notification Tokens: If you enable notifications, we collect push notification tokens to send you updates about deals and app features.

How We Use This Information

Your data helps us in several ways:

• Service Delivery: Ensuring Beauty Bounty works smoothly and efficiently for you.
• User Support: Addressing any issues you might encounter while using our app.
• App Enhancement: Analyzing usage patterns to refine existing features and develop new ones.
• Security Measures: Keeping Beauty Bounty safe and secure for all users.
• Notifications: Sending you relevant updates about beauty deals and app features (only if you've opted in).

Third-Party Content and Services

Beauty Bounty displays content from third-party retailers to help you discover beauty deals:

• Product Information: We display product images, names, descriptions, and pricing information from retailers including Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, Sephora, and Amazon Australia for comparison and informational purposes.
• Brand Content: All brands, images, logos, and trademarks featured in our app are owned by their respective companies and creators.
• Fair Use: We use this content under fair use guidelines for comparison and informational purposes. We do not sell products directly - all purchases are conducted through the original retailer websites.
• External Links: When you choose to purchase a product, you'll be directed to the official retailer website. These external sites have their own privacy policies and terms of service.
• Price Accuracy: While we strive for accuracy, prices displayed in our app may vary from in-store prices. We aggregate deals from retailer websites for comparison purposes only.

Sharing of Information

We're committed to keeping your data within Beauty Bounty, with a few exceptions:

• Service Partners: We may share data with trusted third-party services (like Firebase and AWS) that help us operate Beauty Bounty. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: In rare cases, we may need to disclose information to comply with legal obligations or valid government requests.
• No Data Sales: We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Storage and Retention

We store your data securely using industry-standard practices:

• Local Storage: Some app preferences and favorites are stored locally on your device.
• Cloud Storage: Anonymous usage analytics are stored securely in the cloud with appropriate encryption.
• Retention Period: We retain analytics data for as long as necessary to improve our services, typically no longer than 2 years.

Keeping Your Data Safe

We take data security seriously. All communication with our app is encrypted using HTTPS and industry-standard security protocols. While we implement robust security measures, it's important to note that no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

Your Privacy Rights

Since we only collect anonymous and non-personal data, traditional data rights (like access or deletion requests) don't apply in the same way. However:

• Opt-out: You can disable push notifications through your device settings at any time.
• Data Deletion: You can delete locally stored favorites and preferences by uninstalling the app.
• Contact Us: We're always here to address any privacy concerns you may have.

Children's Privacy

Beauty Bounty is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Updates to This Policy

As Beauty Bounty evolves, we may update this policy. We'll notify you of any significant changes by posting the revised policy in the app and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this document periodically.

Intellectual Property Notice

All product images, brand names, logos, and trademarks displayed in Beauty Bounty belong to their respective owners. We use this content solely for informational and comparison purposes under fair use guidelines. We respect intellectual property rights and will promptly address any concerns from content owners.
