Privacy policy.

Effective November 8, 2024

Welcome to Away Message App! Here’s how we handle your personal info. It’s written in layman's terms so you may actually want to read it. We believe in being open about what data we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe—while keeping things as simple as possible. 

1. Introduction

At Away Message App, we’re committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy covers how we collect, use, and share your info when you use our app. It also explains the choices you have regarding your data.

2. Your Messages and Contacts Stay Private

Your recorded messages and the contacts you choose are safe with us. Here’s our promise:

  • Messages are yours — Only you (and the people you select) have access to the messages you record. They won’t be shared, accessed, or used by anyone else.

  • Contacts are confidential — The people you’ve chosen to receive your messages are stored securely and are kept private. We’ll never contact them or share their information with third parties.

  • Secure storage — We take extra measures to ensure your messages and contact info are protected, so you can trust that your personal connections remain just that—personal.

2. Information We Collect

We collect different types of info to make the Away Message App work smoothly for you. Here’s the scoop:

Personal Info
When you’re using the Away Message App, we might ask for a few details to identify or contact you, like your email, first and last name, phone number, and maybe your location details like city and ZIP code.

Usage Info
When you hop on the Away Message App from your phone, we automatically pick up some technical details—your device type, IP address, OS, browser type, and other diagnostic data to keep things running smoothly.

3. Cookies & Tracking

Yep, we use cookies (not the tasty kind) to track activity and improve your experience. These tiny files store info that helps us understand how you’re using the app. If you’re not into cookies, you can tell your device to reject them, but it might limit some features.

4. Why We Use Your Data

Here’s why we gather and use your info:

  • To run and improve Away Message App

  • To keep you posted on changes or updates

  • To enable interactive features when you want them

  • To support you with any questions or issues

  • To analyze data and refine the app

  • To prevent and troubleshoot technical problems

5. Data Transfers

Your info might be stored or processed outside of your local area, possibly in different countries with varying data laws. If you’re outside [Your Country] and share info with us, just know we handle it with care in [Your Country].

6. Sharing Your Data

We may share your data only if necessary:

  • To comply with laws or regulations

  • To protect Away Message App’s rights and property

  • To prevent or address potential issues within the app

  • To ensure user safety or respond to legal requests

7. What We Won’t Do with Your Data

We’re here to make things meaningful, not messy. We want you to know that we will never share your personal information for:

  • Third-party marketing — Your data isn’t for sale, and we won’t use it to send you spam or let others do it.

  • Unapproved research — We don’t allow your data to be used in any research or studies without your consent.

  • Unnecessary data sharing — Your info won’t be shared with any company or organization that doesn’t play a critical role in making Away Message App work smoothly.

8. Third-Party Help

Sometimes we work with trusted third parties (“Service Providers”) to keep the Away Message App in top shape. These partners only access your data to assist us with app-related tasks and are bound to strict confidentiality.

9. Links to Other Sites

Away Message App may include links to other sites we don’t control. If you follow those links, you’ll be heading to a different site with its own privacy practices, so be sure to review their policies.
