Privacy Policy for UseTera

1. Introduction

UseTera ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our mobile application.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address
• Name
• Password (encrypted)

2.2 Usage Data

We collect information about how you use our app, including:

• Tasks and lists you create
• Bookmarks you save
• Shopping lists and items

2.3 Information from Connected Services

When you connect a third-party service such as Google Calendar, we receive information from that service on your behalf. This may include:

• Calendar event titles, descriptions, times, and locations
• Calendar names, colors, and visibility settings
• The email address and basic profile information of the connected account

We use this information solely to display your calendar alongside Tera's tasks and lists. You can disconnect a connected service at any time from Settings → Calendar; disconnecting deletes the stored access token and removes synced events from the app.

3. Camera and Photo Permissions

• Take photos to attach to tasks or lists
• Scan QR codes or barcodes for shopping items
• Capture images for bookmarks or notes

We do not currently use these permissions, but they are included to support planned features. When we implement these features, we will:

• Only access your camera when you explicitly choose to use camera features
• Never access your camera without your knowledge or consent
• Not store or transmit photos without your explicit action
• Allow you to deny camera access and still use all other app features

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and maintain our service
• Sync your data across your devices
• Enable family sharing of tasks and lists
• Improve our app and develop new features
• Communicate with you about updates or issues

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

• With family members you explicitly invite to your team
• When required by law or to protect our rights
• With service providers who help us operate our app (under strict confidentiality)

5.1 Third-Party Service Integrations

When you connect third-party apps to Tera, you authorize us to share designated information and data created and/or uploaded by you to our server with these third-party services of your choice on your behalf. Tera's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs for its Google Calendar integration will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
