We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of your personal information while using Vathos.

1. App Functionality
vathos is a journaling app that allows users to journal through text, audio, or video. All journal entries are stored locally in a hidden folder within the app storage, ensuring they are not accessible outside of the app.

2. Data Collection
We collect minimal personal information from our users. Specifically:
First Name: We collect your first name, which you provide voluntarily during the app setup. This is used solely for personalizing your app experience by greeting you when you launch the app.

3. Data Usage
The first name you provide is not used for any other purposes beyond personalizing your app experience. We do not share your name or any other personal data with third parties.

4. Consent and Privacy Control
Voluntary Provision of Information: Providing your first name is completely voluntary. You may choose not to provide it.
Age Restriction: There are no age restrictions for using our app.
Data Removal: You can remove your first name at any time by going to the app settings.

5. Data Security
Your data, including journal entries and personal information, is stored locally on your device. The security of your data is governed by the standard security features of your iPhone.

6. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your first name only as long as you choose to keep it in the app. You can delete your name from the settings at any time, and it will be removed from our records.

7. Compliance with Laws
As our app does not collect sensitive personal data and operates within the standard iOS environment, we are not subject to specific privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA.

8. Contact Information
For any privacy-related inquiries or complaints, please contact us at depth@vathos.io.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and via a push notification.
