Fernhood App Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information while using our app.
1. Information We Use
🐾 The only information we use is the name provided by the user, which serves as a nickname chosen by the user to personalize their in-app experience (e.g., displaying your name in message boards).
🐾 Users are free to change their nickname at any time within the app.
2. Sharing of Information
🐾 Your nickname is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to any external servers or accessed by third parties or us.
🐾 As the developers of the app, we do not have access to any information stored on the user’s device.
3. Data Storage and Security
🐾 Your nickname is stored locally on your device.
🐾 We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, but no method of storage is 100% secure. However, since your nickname is stored only on your device, it is not accessible to us as developers or to any external parties.
4. Children’s Privacy
🐾 This app is designed for users of all ages.
🐾 The only information used is the name provided by the user, which serves as a nickname to personalize the in-app experience. The nickname is stored locally on the user’s device and is not transmitted externally or stored on any servers or by any third parties. Users are free to change their nickname at any time within the app.
🐾 For users under the age of 13, we recommend parental supervision when using the app.
As the developers, we do not have access to any information stored on the user’s device.
🐾 If you (as a user or parent) have any concerns or questions regarding this, please refer to the Contact Us section below for further information.
5. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
🐾 Our app uses Google Play (for Android users) and the Apple App Store (for iOS users) for processing in-app purchases and subscriptions. These may include one-time lifetime purchases or recurring subscription plans that provide continued access to certain features or content.
🐾 All payment-related information is handled securely by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We, as the app developers, do not have access to your payment information (e.g., credit card details or billing address).🐾 Users can manage or cancel their subscriptions at any time through their respective platform account settings.
6. Community Content and Consent
🐾 FernHood may display community-related content such as local bands, businesses, events, winners, or featured individuals.
🐾 Any names, images, or identifying information shown in the app are published only with the explicit consent of the individuals or organizations involved.
🐾 FernHood does not allow users to upload personal photos or personal information of others. All community content is curated and approved by the FernHood team with prior permission.
7. Use of AI Services
🐾 The Fernhood app includes a chat feature powered by a secure, third-party AI service. This AI system processes user text input to generate responses for educational and entertainment purposes only.
🐾 The daily number of chat messages that can be sent through this feature is limited according to the usage policies, technical limits, or fair-use rules defined by the external AI service.
🐾 When the free daily message limit is reached, users may renew their access or purchase additional options directly from the AI provider’s official platform if they wish to continue chatting.
🐾 We do not collect, store, or share any personal information from the chat interaction. All user inputs are processed temporarily by the AI service for the purpose of generating replies and are not retained by us.
🐾 Your chat history with the AI is stored locally on your device to let you review or continue past conversations. When you reopen an old conversation, the app securely reloads that local history so the AI can continue the chat with full context.
🐾 This information is never transmitted to us or to any external servers, and you can delete it at any time by clearing your local app data.
🐾 We also maintain safety filters to prevent or block inappropriate or harmful language or content. We actively restrict topics involving adult themes, violence, alcohol, smoking, drugs, or any other unsuitable material.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
🐾 We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any changes will be reflected here, and we encourage you to review this page periodically.
