Privacy Policy

1 Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to provide and improve the Boofer service:

Account Information:

• Your chosen username / handle (publicly visible)
• Email address (for account recovery only, never shown publicly)
• Profile photo (optional, stored encrypted)
• Your assigned virtual phone number (generated by Boofer)

Usage Data:

• App version and device type (for compatibility)
• Crash reports and error logs (anonymized)
• Feature usage statistics (no personal identifiers)

We do NOT collect:

• Your real phone number
• Message content (all messages are end-to-end encrypted)
• Call recordings or transcripts
• Contact lists from your device
• Location data

2 How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and maintain your Boofer account
• Deliver messages, calls, and notifications to the correct recipients
• Provide account recovery services via email
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security breaches
• Fix bugs and improve app stability
• Respond to support requests

We do not use your data for targeted advertising or sell it to data brokers.

3 Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure servers provided by Supabase (hosted on AWS). We implement industry-standard security practices:

• All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3
• Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256
• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Access to production systems is limited to authorized personnel only, with full audit logging
• Automated anomaly detection for suspicious access patterns

4 End-to-End Encryption

All messages and media sent through Boofer are end-to-end encrypted. This means:

• Only you and your intended recipient(s) can read your messages
• Boofer servers store only encrypted ciphertext — we cannot read your messages
• Even in the event of a server breach, your message content remains unreadable
• Voice and video call audio/video streams are encrypted in transit

5 Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share limited data with:

• Service providers — Infrastructure partners (Supabase, Firebase) that help us deliver the service, bound by data processing agreements
• Law enforcement — Only when legally compelled by a valid court order. Due to our encryption architecture, we can provide only metadata (account info, IP logs) — never message content
• Safety situations — If we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent risk of serious harm

6 Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access — Request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Correction — Update inaccurate personal information
• Deletion — Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Portability — Receive your data in a portable format
• Objection — Object to certain types of data processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at shaadowplatforms.g92192@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7 Children's Privacy

Boofer is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will promptly delete such information.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at shaadowplatforms.g92192@gmail.com.

8 Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services:

• Account data is retained until you delete your account
• Messages are retained on servers only until delivered, then purged (unless you enable cloud backup)
• Crash logs are anonymized and deleted after 90 days
• Security audit logs are retained for 12 months

Upon account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except as required by law.

9 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by:

• Posting the new policy on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date
• Sending an in-app notification for material changes

Your continued use of Boofer after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
