How the Flying Star Feng Shui app and this website handle your information.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Personal Factory (operated by Takeshi Sato, "we") handles information in the iOS app "Flying Star Feng Shui" (the "App") and the website fengshui.personal-factory.com (the "Site").
2. Information in the App
Information that stays on your device
The App uses the following information for its features and stores it on your device. We never receive it.
- Location: used to measure direction automatically and to pick the home's location when calculating declination for a floor plan.
- Camera and photos: used to import floor plan images.
- Information you enter: such as your move-in year, birth year, gender, and saved floor plans and their names.
When you search for an address or view the map on the declination screen, the App uses Apple's map services, and your search terms and the map location are sent to Apple.
Usage and crash information
To improve the App and fix problems, we use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, provided by Google LLC. These send information about how the App is used, and about your device and the App when an error occurs, to Google. See "4. Data sent to external services" for details. We do not use this information to identify you personally.
