Introduction

Finnish Companion (“we,” “our,” “us”) is built on a simple principle: we do not collect what we do not need. This policy explains clearly what data is (and is not) collected when you use our application or website.

1. What We Do Not Collect

No advertising identifiers
No behavioral or usage tracking
No third-party analytics
No profiling for ads or marketing

We deliberately avoid collecting data that could compromise your privacy or be exploited for surveillance, marketing, or unnecessary storage.

2. Information We Handle

Authentication: If you choose to log in with Google or another identity provider, we only receive the minimal information required to authenticate you (such as your email address). This data is used solely for login purposes and is not shared or sold.

Local Data: Certain preferences, such as search history, may be stored locally on your device for your convenience. You can clear this at any time.

3. Planned Features

In future versions, optional account features may allow you to synchronize your data across devices. Participation will always be voluntary, and you will be able to view, export, and delete your data at any time.

4. Principles We Follow

Minimalism: Collect as little as possible, only what is necessary.
Transparency: Clear explanations, no dark patterns.
Privacy by design: Secure defaults, limited retention, and encryption where applicable.
Eco-friendly: Minimal server load and storage, avoiding unnecessary data hoarding.

5. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as we evolve. Updates will be published here. Continued use of our services means you accept the updated policy.
