1. Introduction

NFC Forge ("we", "our", or "the app") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our NFC Forge mobile application.

By using NFC Forge, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1. Information You Provide

• NFC Tag Data: URLs, contact information, and other data you choose to write to NFC tags
• Tag Templates: Saved tags you create for reuse
• Subscription Information: Data related to premium subscriptions, including payment information processed by Apple (we do not have access to full credit card details)

2.2. Automatically Collected Information

• Usage Data: Information about how you use the app (features used, frequency of use)
• Device Data: Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers
• Diagnostic Data: Information about errors and crashes to improve app stability

2.3. Third-Party Information

• Apple StoreKit: Information about purchases and subscriptions
• Apple CloudKit: Data synced between your Apple devices

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Synchronization: Sync your data between Apple devices through iCloud
• Customer Support: Respond to your requests and provide technical support

• Security: Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and other malicious activities

4. Data Storage

All NFC tag data is stored locally on your device and, if you have a premium subscription, may be synced with iCloud using Apple's CloudKit. This means your data is encrypted and stored on Apple's servers, not ours.

Analytics and crash report data are sent to Firebase (Google), but are anonymized and do not contain personally identifiable information.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. We share information only in the following situations:

• Service Providers: With providers who help us operate the app (Apple, Google Firebase), all bound to protect your data
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or legal process
• Protection of Rights: To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users

6. Third-Party Services

6.1. Apple Services

• CloudKit: Used for data synchronization between devices. Data is stored in the user's iCloud account.
• StoreKit: Payment and subscription processing. All transactions are processed by Apple.
• App Store Connect: App distribution and download information.

We recommend reviewing Apple's Privacy Policy.

6.2. Google Firebase

• Firebase Analytics: Collects anonymous usage metrics
• Firebase Crashlytics: Collects information about errors and crashes for diagnostics
• Firebase Cloud Messaging: Push notification support (if enabled)

We recommend reviewing Google's Privacy Policy.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Secure local storage on device
• Secure authentication through Apple services
• Limited access to data only for authorized personnel

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we have about you
• Correction: Request correction of incorrect or incomplete data
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data
• Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service
• Objection: Object to processing of your personal data

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the contact section below.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

When you delete tags from the app, they are permanently removed. Anonymized analytics data may be retained for longer periods for statistical analysis purposes.

10. Children's Privacy

NFC Forge is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information immediately.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

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 and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
