1. Introduction

Welcome to Danza! This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application works. Danza is designed with privacy-first principles and operates completely anonymously without requiring user accounts or collecting any personal information.

By using Danza, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

2. No Personal Data Collection

Danza does NOT collect, store, or process any personally identifiable information (PII). We do not know who you are, and we cannot identify you.

We DO NOT collect:

• Your name, email address, or phone number
• Social media profiles or login credentials
• Photos or personal images
• Contact lists or address books
• Payment information
• Browsing history outside the app
• Any data that can identify you as an individual

3. Anonymous App Preferences (Stored Locally)

The following preferences are stored locally on your device only to improve your app experience:

• Selected City: Your chosen city to show relevant dance events
• Anonymous Avatar: A randomly generated avatar seed (no photos)
• Notification Preferences: Your choices about receiving event notifications

This data stays on your device and is not sent to any server. You can delete it anytime by clearing app data or uninstalling the app.

4. Optional Location Access

With your explicit permission, we may access your device's approximate location to suggest nearby dance events. This location data is used temporarily and is not stored. You can deny or revoke location permissions anytime through your device settings.

5. Anonymous Technical Data

We collect minimal, anonymous technical information to ensure the app works properly:

• Device type and operating system version
• App version and anonymous crash reports
• Anonymous push notification token (to send event updates)

This data is completely anonymous and cannot be linked to you as an individual.

6. How We Use Anonymous Data

The minimal anonymous data we collect is used only for:

• Service Provision: Display dance events in your selected city
• Notifications: Send push notifications about event updates and cancellations
• App Improvement: Fix bugs and improve the app experience

7. Third-Party Services

We use the following services to operate the app:

• Firebase (Google): For push notifications and anonymous crash analytics
• Cloud Hosting: Our backend infrastructure to deliver event information

No personal data is shared with these services. All data processed is anonymous.

8. No Sale or Sharing of Data

We do NOT sell, rent, trade, or share any data with third parties for marketing purposes. Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing personal to sell.

9. Data Security

Even though we don't collect personal data, we still implement security measures:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
• Secure backend infrastructure
• Regular security updates

10. Your Control

You have complete control over the app:

• Delete All Data: Clear app data or uninstall the app anytime
• Disable Notifications: Turn off push notifications in settings
• Revoke Location Access: Disable location permissions in device settings

Since all data is anonymous and stored locally, there's no account to delete or personal information to request.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
