This Privacy Policy explains how MNK ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use the AlgoDSA mobile application (package id: com.mnk.algodsa) and related services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information when you install or use AlgoDSA. Wherever possible we minimize collection and only request permissions that are necessary for app functionality.
1.1 Information You Provide
Account & Profile Data (optional): If you create an account or sign in for cloud sync, you may provide an email address, display name, and password.
User Content: Any data you enter into the app (example arrays, graphs, saved scenarios, notes) when using visualization features.
Support & Feedback: Messages you send via in-app feedback, email, or crash reports (optional).
1.2 Device & Technical Data (Automatically Collected)
Device information: device model, OS version, app version, package id (com.mnk.algodsa), screen size, and language settings.
Crash reports & diagnostics: stack traces and logs when the app crashes (to improve stability).
1.3 Third-Party Services
We may obtain information from third-party providers (e.g., analytics, store platforms) to help operate and improve the app. See the Third-Party Services section for details.
2. How We Use Information
We use the collected information for these purposes:
To provide and operate the app: Deliver core visualization features, manage accounts, and enable cloud sync (if enabled).
To improve the product: Analyze usage and crash reports to improve performance, design, and features.
To communicate: Respond to support requests, update you about important changes, and send transactional messages about your account.
To comply with law & safety: Prevent abuse and comply with legal obligations.
3. Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:
Service providers: We use trusted third-party services to host data, perform analytics, monitor crashes, and send emails (e.g., cloud providers, analytics platforms, crash-reporting services).
Legal obligations: If required by law or to respond to legal process, we may disclose information to law enforcement or other governmental bodies.
Business transfers: If MNK is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Typical Third-Party Categories
Analytics: e.g., Google Analytics for Firebase, or similar. These services collect usage and device data to help us understand app performance.
Crash reporting: e.g., Firebase Crashlytics, which collects crash logs and device diagnostics.
Payment processors: If you use in-app purchases, payment is handled by Google Play Billing (we do not receive your full payment card details).
We will list the precise third parties used in the Play Console Data Safety form and on this policy page (see updates section).
4. Local Storage, Cookies & Similar Technologies
AlgoDSA stores data on your device (local storage) to enable offline visualizations and to cache settings. We do not use cookies in the traditional web sense inside the mobile app. If you access web pages hosted by us, standard web cookies may be used; read the cookie notice on those pages if present.
5. Security & Data Retention
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. These include encryption in transit (HTTPS) and access controls on our servers. However, no system is 100% secure — if you suspect a security issue, contact us immediately.
Data retention: We retain account and user content for as long as needed to provide services, or as required by law. You can request deletion of your account and associated data (see Your Rights).
6. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:
Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.
Deletion: Request deletion of your account and data.
Portability: Request a machine-readable copy of data you provided.
Opt‑out: Opt out of analytics collection where applicable (see in‑app settings).
To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below. We may ask for identity verification before fulfilling requests.
7. Children & Special Protections
AlgoDSA is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child provided personal data to us, contact us and we will delete it as required by law.
8. Payments & Subscriptions
If the app offers paid content, purchases are processed via Google Play Billing. We do not collect or store full payment card details. For subscription cancellations or refunds, follow the Google Play support process or contact us for assistance.
9. International Data Transfers
We operate globally. Information collected may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States and India. We will take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place where required by law.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated policy in the app and on this page with a new effective date. Significant changes will be communicated via the app or email (where applicable).
