Pellt - Privacy Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

This Privacy Policy applies to the Pellt mobile application ("App") and governs data collection, usage, and protection practices of Pellt ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

Pellt is designed with a privacy-first approach. Unlike many applications, we do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use our basic services. All user data is stored locally on your device, ensuring maximum privacy protection.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect two types of information through the App:

2.1 Information You Provide

When using the App, you may choose to provide certain information voluntarily, including:

Skin-related information (such as skin type, concerns, and conditions)
Photos of your skin for analysis purposes
Skincare product information and usage habits
Preferences and settings
Messages and content you submit through interactive chat features

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you use the App, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

Device information (model, operating system, unique device identifiers)
App usage data (features used, interaction patterns)
Technical logs related to App performance

This information is collected solely to improve App functionality and performance and is processed locally on your device whenever possible.

3. LOCAL STORAGE OF INFORMATION

Pellt's core privacy feature is its use of local storage. All information collected through the App is stored locally on your device, not on our servers. This means:

Your data remains under your direct control
We do not have access to your personal information or skin data
Your information is not transmitted to our servers or third parties, except as explicitly described in this policy
You can delete your data at any time by uninstalling the App or using the data deletion feature within the App

We believe this local storage approach provides the highest level of privacy protection available, giving you complete control over your personal information.

4. USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

The information collected by the App is used for the following purposes:

To provide, maintain, and improve the App and its features
To generate AI-powered skin insights and analyses
To create personalized skincare plans tailored to your needs
To respond to your inquiries through interactive chat features
To troubleshoot technical issues and optimize App performance
To develop new features and functionality that enhance the user experience

All processing of your information for these purposes occurs locally on your device, ensuring your data never leaves your control unless you choose to share it.

5. SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Your information remains stored locally on your device. However, we may share information in the following limited circumstances:

With your explicit consent: We may share information if you specifically authorize us to do so
For App functionality: In order to provide certain features (such as product recommendations), the App may need to communicate with third-party servers, but this will only occur with your explicit permission and will not include transmission of your personal skin data
To comply with legal obligations: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities
To protect our rights: We may disclose information to protect our legitimate business interests, including to prevent fraud or other illegal activities

In all cases, any sharing of information will be limited to what is necessary for the specified purpose.

6. DATA SECURITY

We are committed to protecting the security of your information. The App incorporates industry-standard security measures to protect your data stored locally on your device, including:

Encryption of sensitive data stored on your device
Secure coding practices to prevent unauthorized access
Regular security updates and patches

However, no method of storage or transmission over the Internet is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You play an important role in protecting your information by maintaining the security of your device.

7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information from the device.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information through the App, please contact us at skincarepellt@outlook.com.

8. YOUR RIGHTS AND CONTROLS

You have several rights regarding your information stored in the App:

Access: You can access all your information through the App's user interface
Correction: You can update or correct your information at any time
Deletion: You can delete your information through the App's settings or by uninstalling the App
Control: You can control what information you provide and how it is used through the App's settings

To exercise these rights or if you have questions about your information, please contact us at skincarepellt@outlook.com.

9. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The App may contain links to or integrate with third-party services, products, or websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.

10. RETENTION OF INFORMATION

Your information is retained on your device for as long as you use the App and until you choose to delete it. You can delete your information at any time through the App's settings or by uninstalling the App, which will remove all locally stored data.

Any technical data collected for App improvement purposes will be anonymized and retained only as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

11. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices.

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you through the App or by other means prior to the changes taking effect. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of the revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

12. CONTACT US

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us at:

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) - with respect to any health-related information
