Introduction
Generic Group ("we," "our," or "us") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data for all iOS applications ("Apps") developed and released by us. By using our Apps, you agree to the terms described in this policy.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect personal information, identifiable data, or individual usage data through our Apps. Any data entered or generated in our Apps remains on your device and is under your control.
2. Website Analytics
Our website (www.genericgroup.net) uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about website traffic and user behavior. This applies only to our website and not to our mobile applications or audio content. The website analytics data includes:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Type of browser and device used
- Referring website or source
- General geographic location (city/country level)
- Anonymous usage patterns
This data is collected using cookies and similar technologies, and is used solely to improve our website's content and user experience. No personally identifiable information is collected through Google Analytics, and this data is not combined with any app-related data.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by disabling cookies in your browser.
3. Data Storage and Cloud Syncing
Some of our Apps may store data locally on your device or sync it using Apple iCloud through CloudKit. Our audio content is streamed and may be temporarily cached on your device.
- Local Storage: Data entered into our Apps remains on your device.
- iCloud Syncing: If enabled, data is encrypted and synced via Apple's iCloud services, which are subject to Apple's privacy and security policies.
- Audio Content: Our podcasts and audio content are streamed through third-party podcast platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.) and are subject to their respective privacy policies.
- Our Access: We do not have access to your iCloud data or podcast listening history.
4. Aggregate Data Provided by Apple
We may access aggregate and anonymous analytics data provided by Apple through services like App Store Connect. This data includes general trends and insights but does not contain any personal or identifiable information. Examples of such data include:
- Total app downloads
- General usage metrics (e.g., session length, active user count)
- Crash reports
This information helps us improve app performance and the user experience.
5. Third-Party Services
Our Apps do not include third-party analytics, tracking tools, or advertisements. Any third-party services (such as Apple iCloud) are governed by their respective privacy policies.
6. Your Data Rights
As we do not collect or process personal information, we do not store or manage user data outside of your device or iCloud. If you wish to manage or delete your data:
- Use the App's settings to reset or clear data stored locally
- Manage your iCloud data through Apple ID settings on your device
7. Children's Privacy
Our Apps are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect or process any personal data from children.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes to our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted here, and the "Effective Date" will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
