Privacy Policy for Flashes for Bluesky

Effective Date: 29.01.2025

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Birdsong Apps GmbH (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use the “Flashes for Bluesky” app (the “App”). By using the App, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

Push Notifications

If you enable push notifications within the App, we may collect certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to your publicly available anonymous Bluesky ID and a Push Notification Token. This information is transferred to a server hosted within the European Union (the “Backend”) and will be retained as long as you wish to receive push notifications. The Backend processes push notifications by sending the Push Notification Token, along with a message, to Apple’s APNS (Apple Push Notification Service), which then delivers the message to your device. For more details, you can review Apple’s Privacy Policy.

If you opt into the feature of receiving push notifications for users you have subscribed to, we associate your Bluesky ID with the Bluesky IDs of the users you subscribe to.

To learn more about Push Notification Tokens and their impact on data privacy, we recommend reading this article: [Threema’s Blog on Push Notifications and Data Privacy](https://threema.ch/de/blog/posts/push-notifications-and-data-privacy).

No Additional Data Collection

Apart from the above-mentioned information for push notifications, the App does not collect any additional data.

Log Data

We do not collect log data, neither in the App nor on the Backend.

Data Security

We value your trust in providing us with your personal information and strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect it. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on this page.
