Kaizen is a personal to-do list and task management application meticulously designed to offer users an intuitive and efficient way to organize their daily activities. This Privacy Policy serves to transparently communicate how the Kaizen application handles the collection, utilization, and safeguarding of user information. Agnee-Apps, the developer account on Google Play, is the entity responsible for the Kaizen application and acts as the data controller concerning any personal data processed within the app. This policy will be accessible via a dedicated subdomain, Agnee-Apps.TrivimSpace.in, which is part of our primary website, TrivimSpace.in. The establishment of a clear and comprehensive privacy policy is not merely a matter of best practice but a fundamental requirement for applications available on platforms like the Google Play Store. These platforms mandate that developers provide detailed information about their data handling practices to ensure user transparency and trust. This document aims to meet these requirements and provide users with a clear understanding of how their information is managed within the Kaizen application.
The Kaizen application collects several types of information to provide its core functionalities and enhance the user experience. This information can be broadly categorized into personal information, user-generated content, and technical information.
To facilitate user authentication and account management, Kaizen utilizes Google Sign-in. Through this service, the application collects the user's name and email address. While the user has indicated that data is not shared, the collection of even basic personal details such as name and email through Google Sign-in necessitates a privacy policy outlining this practice.
The primary function of Kaizen revolves around enabling users to create and manage their to-do tasks. Consequently, the application collects the content of these tasks, any descriptions users choose to add to them, the completion status of each task, and information regarding whether a task has been deleted. This user-generated content, while intended for private use, constitutes data that is collected and processed by the application, thus requiring its inclusion in this privacy policy.
To ensure the smooth operation and improvement of the Kaizen application, certain technical information may be collected. This could include the type of device being used, the version of the operating system, and potentially the user's IP address. Usage data, such as how users interact with the app, the features they utilize, and the frequency of their usage, might also be collected. The collection of such technical information is a common practice in mobile applications, often used for analytics and support purposes. Even if the intention is to minimize the collection of technical data, transparency regarding what might be collected is crucial.
This information is collected through two primary methods. Firstly, user-generated content is collected directly from the user when they input tasks and descriptions within the Kaizen application. Secondly, personal information, specifically the user's name and email address, is collected through the Google Sign-in service during the authentication process. It is important to note that when a user opts to sign in using their Google account, Google's own policies govern the data shared with the Kaizen application. As highlighted in various resources, including snippet 17, it is essential to consider and disclose data collected by third-party services that the application relies upon, such as Google Sign-in. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the data handling practices associated with the Kaizen application.
The information collected by the Kaizen application is used for specific purposes aimed at providing and enhancing the application's functionality and user experience.
Firstly, the core functionality of the Kaizen application relies on the collected information. User-generated content, such as to-do tasks and descriptions, is essential for enabling users to effectively manage and track their activities. The application uses this data to display tasks, allow for modifications, and track their completion status. Secondly, the personal information obtained through Google Sign-in, namely the user's name and email address, is used to authenticate users and manage their accounts. This ensures secure access to the application and allows for the association of user-generated content with individual users.
While not explicitly stated as a current feature, the application may, in the future, utilize collected information to personalize the user experience. This could involve remembering user preferences or displaying tasks in a preferred order. Furthermore, if technical and usage data are collected, this information may be analyzed to identify areas for improvement within the app, fix bugs, and optimize its overall performance. It is important to note that such analysis would ideally be conducted on anonymized data to further protect user privacy.
In the event that users contact the developers with inquiries or require support, the collected information, particularly the user's name and potentially device information, may be used to respond to these requests effectively. Finally, for internal purposes, such as record-keeping and app analytics, anonymized and aggregated data regarding the number of users and feature usage may be tracked to inform business decisions and future development efforts. It is crucial to align data usage with the purposes disclosed in this privacy policy, as emphasized by Google's API Services User Data Policy. This ensures transparency and allows users to make informed decisions about their use of the Kaizen application.
The Kaizen application prioritizes the security and privacy of user data. User-generated content, which includes to-do tasks and descriptions, is transmitted to and stored in a secure online backend database, specifically a MongoDB database. This allows users to access their tasks from multiple devices and ensures data is backed up. The database is protected using industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and misuse of information. These measures include encryption of data during transmission and when stored, regular security assessments, and strict access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can manage the data.
Regarding data retention, user-generated content will be retained as long as the user maintains their account with the Kaizen application. The Kaizen application will implement methods for users to delete their data in future updates. Currently, while there is no direct in-app functionality to delete data, this feature is under development and will be available in a future release.
A core principle of the Kaizen application is the commitment to user privacy. We want to assure users that their to-do tasks and descriptions are not shared with any third parties, except as explicitly outlined in this policy. The data created and stored within the Kaizen application is intended solely for the user's personal organization and is not routinely disclosed to others.
However, as mentioned earlier, information is shared with Google during the Sign-in process. When users choose to authenticate with their Google account, Google may share certain information with the Kaizen application, such as their name and email address, as outlined in Google's Privacy Policy. The Kaizen application solely utilizes this information for the purpose of verifying the user's identity and associating their tasks with their account. This exchange of information is a necessary part of the Google Sign-in functionality and is governed by Google's own privacy practices.
It is also important to acknowledge that there may be limited circumstances under which user data could be disclosed if required by law. This could include responding to a legal process, such as a subpoena or court order, or fulfilling a request from a government authority. However, such disclosures would only occur when there is a legal obligation to do so. The Kaizen application's primary commitment remains to the privacy and security of user data, with no routine sharing of user-generated content with third parties.
The Kaizen application utilizes Google Sign-in as a third-party service to streamline the user authentication process. Google Sign-in allows users to securely access the Kaizen application using their existing Google account credentials, providing a convenient and familiar login method.
When users choose to sign in to the Kaizen application with their Google account, their interaction with Google is subject to Google's own privacy policies and terms of service. To understand how Google handles user data, users are encouraged to review Google's Privacy Policy, which can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
It is important to clarify that the Kaizen application receives limited information from Google specifically for the purpose of authenticating the user. This information typically includes the user's name and email address. The Kaizen application uses this information solely to verify the user's identity and to associate their tasks with their account within the application. No other personal information is requested or accessed from the user's Google account by the Kaizen application beyond what is necessary for basic authentication. The use of Google Sign-in is intended to enhance user convenience and security while ensuring that the Kaizen application itself does not handle sensitive login credentials directly.
Users of the Kaizen application have several rights concerning their personal data. These rights are in line with established data privacy principles and aim to provide users with control over their information.
Users have the right to access the data they have created within the Kaizen application. This includes the ability to view all their to-do tasks and any descriptions they have added. The application's interface is designed to provide easy access to this information.
Furthermore, users have the right to correct any inaccuracies in their data. Within the Kaizen application, users can readily edit their tasks and descriptions to ensure that the information is accurate and up-to-date.
Users will also have the right to delete their data in the future. While the Kaizen application currently does not provide a direct method for users to delete their data, this functionality will be implemented in future updates. Once available, users will be able to delete individual tasks as well as potentially all their data associated with their account.
Regarding the use of Google Sign-in, users have the right to withdraw their consent for the Kaizen application to access their Google account information. This can be managed through the user's Google account settings, where they can review connected apps and revoke the Kaizen application's access at any time. Exercising this right will prevent the Kaizen application from further accessing information from the user's Google account, although data already stored within the Kaizen app may remain until the data deletion feature is implemented and utilized by the user.
The Kaizen application is aimed at users aged 16 and above and is not specifically intended for use by children under this age. While individuals younger than 16 may find the application useful for organizing their day-to-day activities, we do not specifically target this age group. We advise parents and guardians to monitor their children's use of the application. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 16 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
If, in the future, the Kaizen application is intended for use by children under the age of 16, we will implement specific measures to comply with relevant child privacy laws, including obtaining verifiable parental consent for the collection and processing of children's personal information, as required by regulations such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and similar regulations in other jurisdictions.
