Privacy Policy for Nature App

Last updated: June 17, 2026

AppMaker Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") operates Nature App (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use the App.

By using Nature App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you create an account or sign in, we collect information associated with your account, such as your display name, username, email address, profile photo, and an optional bio. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive basic profile information from that provider, such as your name, email address, and profile photo. If you use Sign in with Apple, you may choose to hide your email, in which case we receive a private relay address instead. You can also use the App as an anonymous guest, in which case we do not collect this profile information.

We also collect the content you choose to create or submit, including photos, videos, captions, habitat and creature category labels, comments, replies, and any reports or appeals you send us.

Automatically Collected Information

When you use the App, we automatically collect certain technical and usage information, including device type, operating system, app version, and how you interact with the App (for example, which videos you view, how long you watch, and which posts you like, save, or share). We may also process your IP address temporarily to operate the service and protect it from abuse, such as rate limiting.

Camera, Microphone, and Photos

With your permission, the App accesses your camera and microphone so you can capture nature photos and videos to post, and your photo library so you can select existing photos and videos to upload. These are accessed only when you use the relevant feature, and only with your permission, which you can change at any time in your device settings.

2. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the App and understand how it is used. Each processes information in accordance with its own privacy policy:

Before sending data to our analytics and error-monitoring providers, we remove or mask sensitive fields such as authentication tokens and contact details. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not share your personal information except in the following circumstances:

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide the App's features and fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

You can delete your account at any time from within the App. When you delete your account, we remove or anonymize your personal information: your profile details are cleared, your account is unlinked from your sign-in identity, and your engagement records are disassociated from you. Posts you created are removed from public view. We may retain limited de-identified or aggregated information, and records we are required to keep for legal, security, or moderation purposes.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your data. You can exercise many of these directly in the App (for example, by editing your profile or deleting your account), or by contacting us using the information in Section 9.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion.

You can control the App's access to your camera, microphone, and photo library at any time in your device settings.

7. Children's Privacy

Nature App is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy, and, where appropriate, through an in-app notice.
