In-App Purchases

Data We Do NOT Collect
We want to be transparent about what we do not collect:
- No registration required: You don't need to create an account with name, email, or password
- No access to your contacts: The app does not request access to your contact list
- No access to your photos: The app does not request access to your photo library
- No location tracking: The app does not use GPS or location services
- No biometric data collection: The app does not use Face ID or Touch ID to collect data
- We do not sell your data: We never sell, trade, or rent your information to third parties
- No advertiser sharing: We do not display ads or share data with advertising networks
Authentication is completely anonymous through an automatically generated identifier.
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data exclusively to:
- Provide and maintain the app service
- Display relevant and popular content
- Improve user experience
- Identify and fix technical issues
- Develop new features
- Comply with legal obligations
Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party providers to operate our app, including:
- Analytics services: To understand usage patterns
- Cloud infrastructure: For storage and authentication
- Payment processing: Apple handles all in-app purchases
These providers have limited access to anonymous data necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect your information.
Storage and Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:
- Authentication tokens: Stored securely in iOS Keychain (encrypted by the operating system)
- Local data: Stored securely on your device
- Communication: All connections use HTTPS (encryption in transit)
- Restricted access: Only authorized personnel have access to backend systems
No method of internet transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
Local Data
- Automatically deleted when you uninstall the app
- You can manually delete favorites from within the app at any time
Server Data
- Completely anonymous and not linked to any personal identity
- Includes only: aggregated votes and content reports
- It is not possible to identify or delete a specific user's data because no such association exists
Analytics Data
- Retained according to our analytics providers' policies
- Consists of aggregated usage data, not personal information
Your Rights and Options
Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, we cannot access, modify, or delete specific user data on our servers — that linkage simply does not exist.
What You Can Do
- Delete local data: Uninstall the app to remove all data stored on your device (favorites, preferences, etc.)
- Limit analytics: Enable "Limit Ad Tracking" in Settings > Privacy & Security on your iOS device
- Questions or concerns: If you have questions about how we handle data, contact us at alonzo.alam@gmail.com
Children's Privacy
Jergas Latam is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, contact us immediately to have it removed.

We may update this privacy policy occasionally. We will notify you of significant changes through:
- Updating the "Last updated" date on this page
- Release notes in App Store updates

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
