1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Your Home Repair Assistant developed by Liupingping ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile application (the "App") and our website. By using the App, you agree to the practices described below.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Automatically Collected Information
When you use the App, the following information is collected automatically:
- Anonymous identifier: A unique anonymous identifier is generated and stored on your device when you first open the App. This identifier does not contain any personal information and is used to support the App's functionality.
- Device language and region: The App detects your device's language and region setting to provide content in the appropriate language.
Some network connections within the App may use unencrypted HTTP. Data transmitted over these connections could potentially be intercepted. All other connections use encrypted HTTPS.
2.2 Built-in Browser
The App includes a built-in browser used to display the Privacy Policy and the Support page directly within the App. The built-in browser supports cookies (including third-party cookies) and local storage as part of standard browser behavior. Any websites loaded in the built-in browser operate under their own privacy practices. The built-in browser does not collect any additional data beyond what is described in the Automatically Collected Information section above.
2.3 Local Data Storage
The App stores the following data locally on your device:
- Your projects, tasks, materials, and expense records
- User preferences and settings
- Saved favourites (guides and tips)
This data is not transmitted to our servers. You can delete locally stored data at any time by clearing the App's data in your device settings or by uninstalling the App.
2.4 Support and Bug Reports
The App's Support page allows you to send us a message or report a bug. When you submit a support request, you may provide:
- Your name and email address
- A description of your question or the issue you encountered
- An optional file attachment — you can take a photo or video using your device's camera, or choose an existing file (such as a screenshot, image, or document) through your device's file picker
This information is submitted only when you choose to send a support request. We use it solely to respond to your inquiry and resolve the reported issue. The App itself does not access your camera directly — photo and video capture is handled entirely by your device's built-in camera app.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to:
- Provide and maintain the App's functionality
- Display content in your preferred language
- Respond to your support requests
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information. The App does not share your data with third-party analytics or advertising services.
We may disclose information if required by applicable law or in response to valid legal requests from public authorities.
5. Data Retention
- Anonymous identifier: Persists on your device until you clear the App's data or uninstall the App.
- Local data (projects, preferences, favourites): Remains on your device until you clear the App's data or uninstall the App.
- Cookies and local storage (built-in browser): Follow standard browser expiration rules and are cleared when you clear the App's data.
- Support requests: Retained only as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Most data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to external servers. Network connections use encrypted HTTPS where possible. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to:
- Delete all locally stored data by clearing the App's data in your device settings
- Remove the App and all associated data by uninstalling it
- Clear cookies and local storage used by the built-in browser by clearing the App's data
- Contact us with questions about your data
8. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to remove it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
