# Privacy Policy
|
||
|
||
This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to protect it.
|
||
|
||
## 1. Data Collection
|
||
|
||
Kvaesitso collects and processes data to deliver essential features and improve your experience.
|
||
Unless otherwise specified, all data is stored locally on your device and is inaccessible to other
|
||
apps or users.
|
||
|
||
#### **Data Collected by Kvaesitso**
|
||
|
||
- **Installed apps:** Names of apps installed on your device.
|
||
- **App usage:** Frequency of app launches.
|
||
- **Location:** Your current location for weather forecasts (only if you enable automatic location
|
||
and grant location permissions).
|
||
- **Searchable data:**
|
||
- **Apps and shortcuts**: Data for indexing installed apps and shortcuts.
|
||
- **Calendar events**: Title, time, location, attendees, and description.
|
||
- **Contacts**: Name, phone numbers, email addresses, and photos.
|
||
- **Local files:** File names, paths, sizes, types, metadata (e.g., EXIF, ID3 tags), and
|
||
thumbnails.
|
||
- **Cloud files:** Metadata for supported cloud services (e.g., file name, size, owner).
|
||
- **Media playback metadata:** Details about currently playing media.
|
||
- **Crash and error reports:** Debugging information to identify and resolve issues.
|
||
- **Connected accounts:** Credentials for authorized third-party integrations (e.g., Nextcloud,
|
||
Owncloud).
|
||
|
||
## 2. How We Use Your Data
|
||
|
||
- **Local Data Use:** All data is processed locally to enable features such as search, app usage
|
||
tracking, and weather updates.
|
||
- **Crash Reporting:** Crash data is used to debug and improve the app. Reports are stored locally
|
||
and shared only if you choose to do so.
|
||
- **Search Functionality:** Search results are generated locally. For third-party services, search
|
||
queries may be sent to their servers (e.g., weather providers, Wikipedia).
|
||
|
||
## 3. Data Protection
|
||
|
||
We take measures to ensure your data is secure:
|
||
|
||
- **Local Storage:** All data is stored on your device in a secure, app-specific directory that
|
||
cannot be accessed by other apps.
|
||
- **Your Control:** You can delete all app data at any time by uninstalling the app or clearing its
|
||
storage.
|
||
|
||
## 4. Built-In Integrations
|
||
|
||
Kvaesitso includes built-in integrations that may connect to external services. These are optional
|
||
and can be enabled or disabled in the app settings.
|
||
|
||
### Weather Providers
|
||
|
||
Kvaesitso integrates with several weather providers:
|
||
|
||
- **OpenWeatherMap, MET Norway, HERE, Bright Sky (Deutscher Wetterdienst):** Location data (current
|
||
or manually set) is transmitted periodically to these services to provide accurate weather
|
||
forecasts.
|
||
- Each provider’s privacy policy applies.
|
||
|
||
### Wikipedia
|
||
|
||
When enabled, search queries are sent to Wikipedia servers to display search results. Wikipedia’s
|
||
privacy policy applies.
|
||
|
||
## 5. Plugins
|
||
|
||
Kvaesitso supports plugins that extend the app's functionality. These plugins can be first-party (
|
||
developed by Kvaesitso developers) or third-party (developed by external developers). Plugins are
|
||
optional and can be enabled or disabled in the app settings.
|
||
|
||
### Data Shared with Plugins
|
||
|
||
When you enable a plugin, the following data may be shared with it, depending on the plugin’s
|
||
functionality:
|
||
|
||
- **Search Queries:** The search queries you enter into the app’s search bar may be shared with
|
||
plugins
|
||
to generate results.
|
||
- **Location Data:** If a plugin requires location information (such as a weather or places search
|
||
plugin), your current location may be shared with that plugin (only if you have granted location
|
||
permissions).
|
||
|
||
- **First-Party Plugins:** Developed by the Kvaesitso team.
|
||
- **Third-Party Plugins:** Developed by external developers.
|
||
|
||
### Data Stored by Kvaesitso
|
||
|
||
Kvaesitso may store copies of the data it receives from plugins locally in its own local storage
|
||
directory. This data is used to enhance performance and provide offline access.
|
||
|
||
### Plugin Policies
|
||
|
||
For more detailed information on how data is handled by specific first-party plugins, please refer
|
||
to **Appendix A: Plugin Policies**.
|
||
|
||
For third-party plugins, please consult the respective plugin's privacy policy for additional
|
||
details on data usage and protection.
|
||
|
||
## 6. Crash Reports
|
||
|
||
Crash reports are stored locally and never shared automatically. They include:
|
||
|
||
- Technical details about the crash.
|
||
- Device information (e.g., model, operating system).
|
||
|
||
You can share crash reports manually (e.g., via GitHub). Note that shared reports may become public
|
||
and subject to the **GitHub Privacy Policy**.
|
||
|
||
## 7. Your Rights and Control
|
||
|
||
- **Data Access:** All data resides on your device, ensuring you retain full control.
|
||
- **Data Deletion:** Uninstalling the app or clearing its data removes all stored information.

## Appendix A: Plugin Policies
|
||
|
||
### Google Apps Plugin
|
||
|
||
The Google Plugin enables integrations with Google Drive, Calendar, and Tasks.
|
||
|
||
#### Data Accessed by the Plugin
|
||
|
||
- **General Google Account Information:** Account name, email address.
|
||
- **Google Drive:** File metadata (e.g., names, types, sizes, owners).
|
||
- **Google Calendar:** Event details (e.g., title, time, location, attendees, description).
|
||
- **Google Tasks:** Task lists, due dates, and notes.
|
||
|
||
#### How the Data is Used
|
||
|
||
The data accessed by the plugin is used to provide search results from your Google Drive, Calendar,
|
||
and Tasks within the Kvaesitso app. This allows you to quickly search for and access your files,
|
||
events, and tasks directly from the app. Kvaesitso may store copies of this data locally, in
|
||
accordance with its own privacy policy. The plugin may also cache data locally for performance
|
||
reasons.
|
||
|
||
#### How the Data is Protected
|
||
|
||
All data and credentials are stored securely on your device and in an isolated storage directory
|
||
inaccessible to other apps or users. HTTPS is used to encrypt data transmitted between the app and
|
||
Google services. You can always delete local data by clearing the plugin’s data or uninstalling
|
||
the plugin.
|
||
|
||
#### Data Shared with Third Parties
|
||
|
||
Search queries may be sent to Google servers if online results are enabled. Google’s Privacy Policy
|
||
applies.
