Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Berelsoftware OU (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Leave Your Mark mobile application (the “App”).

1) Summary

• We do not require you to create an account to use the App.
• We do not collect precise device location (GPS). The map is usable without accessing your device location.
• We use a device-related identifier to link your purchase/entitlement and your map area (“one device = one area”).
• If you submit text for display on the map, it is reviewed and may be rejected or removed by admin moderation.

2) Information We Collect

2.1 Device and App Information

When you use the App, we may collect:

• Device identifier / installation identifier (e.g., a generated UUID stored by the App or a similar identifier) used to associate your device with an owned area on the map and to prevent duplicate claims.
• App events such as basic diagnostics (e.g., errors/crashes) to improve stability and performance.
• General device information (e.g., OS version, app version, language) for compatibility and troubleshooting.

2.2 User-Generated Content (Optional)

If the App allows you to submit content (for example, a short message attached to your area), we collect:

• Submitted text and metadata (e.g., submission time, the area/pin it relates to).

Note: Submissions may be reviewed by admins before appearing publicly. We may reject, edit, or remove content that violates our rules.

2.3 Purchases

If you make an in-app purchase (e.g., a one-time purchase to claim an area), the purchase is processed by the app store (Google Play). We do not collect or store your full payment card details.

We may receive purchase-related information such as:

• Purchase tokens / order identifiers to verify your purchase and grant access/entitlement.
• Transaction status (e.g., purchased, canceled, refunded) to maintain accurate access.

2.4 Location Information

The App is designed to work without collecting your precise location. We do not request GPS/precise location permissions for core functionality.

If you later enable optional features that use location, this policy should be updated accordingly.

3) How We Use Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide the App’s core features (display the map, place/claim areas, prevent overlapping claims).
• Associate an owned area with a specific device (“one device = one area”).
• Verify purchases and manage entitlements.
• Moderate and display user-submitted content (if enabled).
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, and enforce our rules.
• Analyze crashes/bugs and improve performance and reliability.

4) How We Share Information

We may share information in the following cases:

4.1 Service Providers

We may share limited information with vendors that help us operate the App (for example, hosting providers or analytics/crash reporting). These providers are permitted to use your information only to provide services to us.

4.2 Map and Platform Providers

The App may use third-party mapping services (e.g., Google Maps Platform) to display maps. Those services may collect information as described in their own privacy policies.

4.3 Legal and Safety

We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to:

• Comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the public, or our services.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.

4.4 Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5) Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide the App and for legitimate business purposes, such as: maintaining your entitlement, enforcing rules, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

• Device/installation identifiers may be retained while your claimed area remains active.
• User-submitted content may be retained to support moderation and audit logs.
• Purchase verification records may be retained as required for accounting and fraud prevention.

6) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

7) Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8) Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

• Request access to the information we hold about you.
• Request deletion of certain information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.

Because the App may not use accounts, we may need you to provide information that helps us locate your record (for example, an in-app support code or transaction/order information).

9) International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place where required by law.

10) Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links to or integrate with third-party services (such as Google Play and map providers). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

11) Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice within the App or by other appropriate means. The “Effective Date” above indicates when this policy was last updated.
