Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 8th, 2025

Polimata ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Polimata mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our App on Google Play.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information when you use the App:

  • Personal Information: Name, email address, account username — only if you provide them (e.g., creating an account or contacting support).
  • Device & Usage Data: Device model, OS version, app version, unique device identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID), crash reports, and analytics about how you use the App.
  • Sensitive Data: We do not intentionally collect Sensitive Personal Data (e.g., health, religious beliefs). If any feature requires sensitive data, we will request explicit consent and disclose why it is needed.
  • Location, Camera, Microphone, Files: Only if used: if the App uses device features (camera, microphone, location, storage), we will request permission and explain how the data is used.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information for purposes including:

  • Providing, operating, and improving the App.
  • Personalizing content and user experience.
  • Analytics and performance monitoring.
  • Communicating with you about updates, promotions, or support.
  • Serving targeted or contextual ads (if applicable).

3. Google Play, Advertising & Analytics

The App may use Google Play services and other third-party services. Examples include:

  • Google Play Services
  • Google Analytics for Firebase
  • Google Mobile Ads / AdMob (if your app shows ads)

These services may collect information about your device and usage. For details, please review their privacy policies.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

  • Service providers who perform functions on our behalf (analytics, hosting, crash reporting, payment processors).
  • Ad networks and advertising partners to serve ads (if applicable).
  • Law enforcement or to comply with legal obligations.

5. Ads & Ad Personalization

If the App displays ads, we and our ad partners may use the Android Advertising ID or other identifiers to serve personalized ads. You can reset or opt out of ad personalization in your device settings.

6. In-App Purchases & Payments

If your App offers in-app purchases, payments are processed through Google Play Billing or another third-party payment processor. We do not directly process or store full payment card details.

7. Permissions

The App may request permissions at runtime. Common permissions and why we might request them:

  • Camera: To take photos or record video.
  • Microphone: To record audio or enable voice features.
  • Location: To provide location-based features.
  • Storage / Files: To read or save user files, images, or cache data.
  • Contacts: To let you invite or share with contacts (only if applicable).

Permissions are requested only when necessary. You can revoke permissions from your device settings at any time; however, revoking permissions may limit functionality.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the App and fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect data, including encryption in transit and secure storage practices. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure — please be mindful when sharing sensitive information.

10. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, contact us to request deletion.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to restrict or object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

12. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own where our service providers operate. We use appropriate safeguards to protect your data when transferred internationally.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated policy with a new "Last updated" date. Significant changes will be communicated by in-app notice or other means.
