Privacy Policy

Ornitologen is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information when you use our bird app.

Information Collection and Use

User profile information: This includes name, email address, and profile picture, which is collected when you log in to the app using Facebook, Google, Email, or Apple login. This information is governed by the privacy policy of the respective platform, and the app only collects the information necessary for providing the services offered within the app.

Location information: The app allows users to pick a location on the Google map where they have seen a specific bird. This information is stored in a database and is used to provide users with a comprehensive bird-watching experience. The app also collects the user's location data while they are using the app. This data is used to provide bird-watching recommendations and improve the user experience.

Advertising: The app uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may collect information about your interests and use of the app to display personalized advertisements. You can opt-out of interest-based advertising by visiting the Google Ad Settings.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We may share your personal information with third-party service providers to provide the services offered within the app, such as hosting and maintenance of the database. These service providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your personal information as necessary to perform their functions.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, and misuse. However, no security measures are 100% foolproof, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.

User Control and Access

You have the right to access, modify, and delete your personal information that we have collected. You can do this by logging into the app and accessing your account settings. If you would like to delete your account, please contact us at app.ornitologen@gmail.com, and we will assist you in doing so.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and post the updated policy on the app. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your personal information.
