Privacy Policy

Storm Schutte ("we", "our", or "us") develops Android applications including, but not limited to, Korea Visa Guide and K-Vocab 10K (1-6). This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your data when you use any of our apps and visit this website.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect personally identifiable information unless explicitly stated within a specific app. Depending on functionality, we may collect:

• Device Information: Non-personal data such as device type, OS version, and language settings.
• Usage Analytics: Anonymous data about app interactions (e.g., crashes, feature usage) used strictly to improve performance.
• Permissions (Optional): If an app requests access to your camera, location, or storage, it is used only for features relevant to that app. No data is sent to our servers unless stated otherwise.
• Website Contact Information: Contact details you provide (e.g., name, email, phone) when you reach out through this website.
• Professional Information: Information contained in resumes/CVs or proposals you submit through this website.

2. How We Use Data

Collected information (if any) is used solely for:

• Improving app stability and performance
• Supporting core features
• Debugging errors and enhancing user experience
• Responding to inquiries and collaboration opportunities
• Maintaining website security and functionality

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Children's Privacy

Our apps and website are not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

4. Third-Party Services

Some apps may use third-party services (e.g., Firebase, Google Analytics for Firebase, or AdMob). These services may collect limited anonymous data per their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies directly.

5. Cookies and Analytics

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyze traffic. You can adjust browser settings to refuse cookies. Third-party tools (e.g., hosting analytics) may collect aggregated usage information.

6. Data Sharing and Security

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who assist in operating our services (e.g., hosting), subject to confidentiality obligations, or when required by law. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, though no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law. Communications may be retained for record-keeping and quality assurance.

8. Your Choices and Rights

You may:

• Revoke app permissions at any time via your device settings
• Uninstall any app to stop all usage and data collection
• Access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information (depending on your location)
