# Privacy Policy for "Automation"

Effective date: 2025-09-17

## 1. Overview
Automation ("the App") is an artistic application created by an independent artist and musician. The App uses the device camera to render dynamic, generative visuals. We do not collect, share, sell, or monetize personal data.

## 2. Data Collection and Use
- Personal data: Not collected.
- Usage analytics / crash logs: Not collected by the App.
- Camera: The live camera feed is processed on-device to drive the visuals. The App does not transmit or store your camera feed off your device.
- Microphone / Photos Library (if requested by features): Permissions may be requested for video recording or saving content to the device library. Any captured content stays on the device unless you choose to share it via your operating system.

## 3. Third‑Party Services
The App does not include third‑party SDKs for analytics, advertising, or tracking.

## 4. Data Sharing
We do not share your data with any third parties.

## 5. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.

## 6. Security
Because the App does not collect personal data or transmit content, there is no remote data to secure. Any content created on the device remains on the device unless you choose to share it.

## 7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the App’s functionality. Updates will be posted on this page with a new Effective date.

## 8. Contact
For questions about this policy, please contact: joshua.k.barua+playstorecontact@gmail.com

Notes:
- If future versions of the App add analytics, crash reporting, accounts, cloud sync, or other data collection, this policy will be updated accordingly, and disclosures will be made in the app stores’ Data Safety (Google Play) and App Privacy (Apple) sections.
