At Verjaarsdag Boodskapper, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how our application and website handle information.
Our core principle is simple: Your data belongs to you, and it never leaves your device.
1. Data Architecture and Storage (Local Storage Only)
- No External Server Uploads: We do not upload any personally identifiable information (PII), contact lists, birthdays, names, or message logs to our servers or any third-party cloud services.
- Local Processing: All data entered or processed within the application (including CSV/Excel files and imported contact lists) is stored and processed exclusively on the user’s own computer or mobile device.
- No Central Database: We do not own, maintain, or access any central database containing your personal information or the details of your clients, students, or members.
2. Device Permissions and Contacts Access
To provide the app's core functionality (automating birthday messages), the application may request permission to access specific features on your device:
- Contact Lists Access: The application may request access to your device’s local contacts strictly to allow you to select recipients and synchronize birthday dates. This data is read only within your device’s local memory for app utility. It is never transmitted, collected, sold, or shared with any third party.
- Local Storage Access: Access to your local file system is used solely to save your imported Excel/CSV templates and app preferences locally on your device.
3. Website Forms (Invoice Requests)
When you visit our website and request an invoice for a license via our web form:
- We collect only the information you voluntarily provide (such as your institution's name and contact email address) for the sole purpose of issuing an official invoice and providing your activation key.
- This data is used strictly for financial administration and is never sold, leased, or used for marketing purposes.
4. Global Privacy Compliance
Our software complies with global privacy regulations through our strict Zero Data Collection model:
- POPIA (South Africa): Because we do not collect, process, or store personal information off your device, there is no risk of data breaches on our end.
- GDPR (European Union): We do not act as a "Data Controller" or "Data Processor" for the data you enter into the application. Full data ownership and control remain 100% with the user on their local device.
- CCPA / CPRA (California, USA): We do not sell, rent, or share any personal information of our users.
5. Data Security
Because all data is stored locally on your device, data security relies on the protection measures (such as passcodes, passwords, and disk encryption) enabled on your personal computer or mobile device. We recommend securing your device with a strong passcode or password.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
