Festival Poster Kannada – Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the mobile application Festival Poster Kannada, published by TunToon, collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the app to create, customize, and share festival and occasion posters. By installing and using the app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

To provide personalized poster customization, cultural festival updates, and secure account management, Festival Poster Kannada collects the following types of information:

  • Account & Profile Information: When you sign in, we collect your mobile phone number (verified via secure SMS OTP through Firebase Authentication). To customize poster branding frames, you may optionally provide your display name, business name, occupation/designation, and selected city or district.
  • Photos & Media: When you choose to customize a poster with your photo or business logo, the app requests access to your device photo gallery. Selected photos are processed locally on your device for background removal and frame compositing. We do not access, scan, or harvest your private photo library outside of the specific images you choose to upload.
  • Device & Diagnostic Data: We collect non-personally identifiable diagnostic information, including device model, operating system version, app version, and crash logs via Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics to diagnose technical issues and ensure app stability. We also collect Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) tokens to deliver regional festival reminder notifications.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • Poster Customization: Your profile details (name, designation, photo, and contact number) are used solely to generate localized festival poster templates with your custom branding.
  • No Data Selling or Sharing: We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information, contact numbers, or photos to third- party data brokers, advertisers, or external marketing platforms.
  • On-Device Photo Processing: Photo background isolation and cutout processing occur locally on your device hardware using on-device machine learning. Your personal photos are not sent to external third-party AI cloud servers for model training.
  • Secure Infrastructure: User profile configurations and notification tokens are hosted using Google Firebase cloud infrastructure protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption in transit and AES encryption at rest.

3. Subscriptions & In-App Purchases

Festival Poster Kannada offers optional premium subscriptions (unlocking premium templates and watermark removal). All in-app purchases and subscription billing on iOS devices are securely handled directly by Apple In-App Purchases (App Store) and managed via RevenueCat. (On Android devices, transactions are handled via Google Play Billing). TunToon never accesses, collects, or stores your credit card, bank account, or financial payment details.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

To deliver core app services, we partner with industry-standard, privacy-compliant service providers:

  • Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Storage, FCM, Crashlytics, Analytics): Used for secure phone OTP authentication, cloud database storage, push notifications, and crash diagnostics. (Firebase Privacy Policy)
