Privacy Policy

Introduction

Joseph Daryl Locsin ("we," "us," or "our") operates the SecureShot mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of the App.

Our Commitment to Privacy

SecureShot is designed with a zero-knowledge architecture. This means that we cannot access, read, or decrypt any of the files you secure using the App. Your privacy is not just a policy — it's built into the core design of our system.

Information We Collect

1. Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address (for authentication)
• Account creation timestamp
• Authentication tokens

2. File Metadata

We store minimal metadata about your encrypted files:

• File name (as you choose to name it)
• File size
• Upload timestamp
• File type identifier

Important: We do NOT have access to the contents of your encrypted files. All files are encrypted on your device before upload.

3. Technical Information

We automatically collect certain technical information:

• Device type and operating system version
• App version
• Crash logs and error reports (anonymized)
• Network connection type (for sync optimization)

4. Usage Analytics

We collect anonymized usage data to improve the App:

• Feature usage frequency
• App session duration
• Performance metrics

Information We Do NOT Collect

• Your encryption passwords — These never leave your device
• Decrypted file contents — We never see your actual photos, videos, or files
• Browsing history or location data
• Contacts or other personal device data
• Biometric data

How We Use Information

We use collected information solely to:

• Provide and maintain the App's functionality
• Authenticate your identity
• Store and sync your encrypted files
• Improve app performance and fix bugs
• Respond to support requests
• Comply with legal obligations

Data Storage and Security

Cloud Storage

Your encrypted files are stored using secure cloud infrastructure (Firebase Storage). These files remain encrypted at all times and cannot be decrypted by us or any third party without your password.

Local Storage

The App stores encrypted files locally in your device's secure sandbox. These files are removed only when you delete the app or manually clear the cache.

Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security practices including:

• Encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL)
• Secure authentication mechanisms
• Regular security audits
• Minimal data retention policies

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do NOT sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

We may disclose information only in the following circumstances:

• With your consent — When you explicitly authorize sharing
• Legal requirements — When required by law, subpoena, or court order
• Service providers — With trusted third parties who help us operate the App (e.g., cloud hosting), under strict confidentiality agreements

Note: Even under legal compulsion, we cannot provide access to your encrypted files without your password.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your account information
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Export your encrypted files
• Opt out of analytics collection
• Request information about data we hold

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@secureshotapp.com

Data Retention

• Encrypted Files: Retained until you delete them or close your account
• Account Information: Retained while your account is active
• Analytics Data: Retained for up to 24 months in anonymized form
• Deleted Data: Permanently removed within 30 days of deletion request

Children's Privacy

SecureShot is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be stored and processed in any country where we or our service providers operate. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside your country of residence.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by:

• Posting the new policy in the App
• Updating the "Last Updated" date
• Sending an email notification (for significant changes)

Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
