Privacy of the Living - Are you dead?

1. Introduction

Welcome to Are you dead?! We care about your privacy as much as you care about staying alive. This policy explains how we handle your data while you're still walking among us.

By using Are you dead?, you agree that we can store just enough info to make sure someone knows if you've stopped breathing.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Device Boring Stuff

To keep the app running on your specific slab of glass, we collect:

Device model and OS version (so we know why it crashed)
App version
A unique ID (to know you're you, anonymously)

2.2 Usage Gossip

We peek at how you use the app to make it less terrible:

How often you actually remember to check in
Which buttons you like to press
Crash reports (the digital equivalent of a "help me" sign)

2.3 The "Chosen One" Info

                    The Most Important Part: To send alerts when you go AFK, we need the name and email of your Chosen One. This info is used ONLY to tell them you might be starting to smell.
                

2.4 Survival Records

We keep track of your check-in timestamps. No timestamps, no survival streak. Simple as that.

3. Information We DO NOT Collect

                    Our Solemn Oath:
                    We DO NOT track your real-time location (we don't care where you are, just that you're okay).
We DO NOT raid your contact list.
We DO NOT sell your data to advertisers (nobody wants to buy the data of someone who might be dead tomorrow).

                

4. Why We Need This Info

Service: To keep the "I'm alive" button working.
Safety: To tell your specialist that it's time to check the spare key.
Improvement: To make the app slightly more ironic and less buggy.

5. Keeping Your Data Alive

5.1 Storage

Your data is encrypted and stored in the cloud. It's safer than your passwords hidden under your keyboard.

5.2 Retention

We keep your data until you delete your account or until the heat death of the universe (whichever comes first).

6. Your Rights (While Still Alive)

Access: See what we know about your survival.
Rectification: Fix the spelling of your retrieval specialist's name.
Deletion: Wipe your data and disappear from our records.
