Updated: September 14, 2023

Introduction

Welcome to LoveBomb, a free mobile application (the "App") designed to enhance and strengthen your relationships. Your privacy and data security are important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your personal data. By using the LoveBomb App, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

To protect your privacy and data, most user data is stored locally on your device, and only essential information is securely uploaded to our encrypted servers.

1.1 Personal Information: When you register and use the LoveBomb App, we may collect the following personal information that you voluntarily provide to us:

-Phone Number
-Email Address
-Profile picture
-Birthday

1.2 Application Data. When using our application(s), you may choose to provide us with access or permission to certain information:

Contacts:

For the purpose of creating a custom connection calendar, you have the option to grant access to your mobile device's contacts. This allows LoveBomb to facilitate reminders and tools to help you remember your contacts' birthdays. It's important to note that we do not retain or store your contact list or any contact names on our servers. However, we may save the dates of birthdays from your phone contacts and their associated phone numbers, solely to assist other users in remembering and celebrating the birthdays of individuals in their own contacts. You can modify these access permissions in your device's settings at any time.

Camera, Microphone, and Photos:

To send video and photo LoveBombs, you can grant permission for the LoveBomb app to access your mobile device's Camera, microphone, and Photos. It's important to note that no content, including photos, videos, or messages, generated within the app are stored or saved on our servers.

Push Notifications:

You have the option to grant permissions for the LoveBomb app to send you push notifications related to your account or specific app features. We believe that notifications can be valuable but strive to keep them minimal. You can anticipate receiving notifications concerning birthdays and streaks once daily in the morning, as well as occasional notifications to help you stay connected, typically no more than once per week. If you prefer not to receive these types of communications, you can disable them in your device's settings.

-App usage data
-Device information (e.g., type, model, OS version)
-Log data (e.g., IP address, browser type, access times)

1.4 Payment Data. We may collect data necessary to process your payment if you make purchases, such as your payment instrument number, and the security code associated with your payment instrument.
