1. Information we collect
a) Anonymous usage data (Analytics): To improve the app experience, ZimPocket uses first-party, privacy‑friendly analytics. We may collect anonymous information such as which screens are visited, feature usage frequency, crash reports, and device type (model, OS version). This data is aggregated and anonymised. It cannot be used to identify you personally.

b) Advertising data: ZimPocket may display advertisements to support ongoing development. Ad networks (such as Google AdMob) may collect device advertising identifiers and general location (country level) to serve relevant ads. However, we do not share any personal information (name, email, contacts) with advertisers. You can reset your advertising ID in device settings.

c) No personal data collection: We do not require accounts, nor do we request names, emails, phone numbers, or precise location. No sensitive personal data is ever collected.

2. How we use your information
• Anonymous analytics help us understand how the app is used, fix bugs, and prioritise new features.
• Advertising allows us to keep ZimPocket free for all users.
• We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data. No personal data is ever shared with third parties.

3. Third-party services (Ad networks)
ZimPocket may integrate Google AdMob or similar ad providers. These third-party services have their own privacy policies and may collect device identifiers and IP addresses for ad personalisation. You can opt out of interest‑based ads by adjusting your device settings (Limit Ad Tracking on iOS / Opt out of Ads Personalisation on Android). We do not share additional information with them.

4. Local storage & permissions
Optional features (e.g., saving favourite contacts, insurance/licence reminders) store data exclusively on your device using local storage. This data never leaves your device. Permissions like camera or file access will only be used with explicit user consent and processed locally.

5. Children’s privacy
The App is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us and we will delete it.

6. Data security & retention
Analytics data is retained for a limited period (up to 14 months) and used only for product improvement. Ad identifiers are handled by third-party networks according to their policies. We take reasonable measures to protect data transmitted between your device and our analytics services (HTTPS).

7. Developer identity & CainBen Labs
ZimPocket is developed and maintained by Tatenda Mutyambizi. “CainBen Labs” is the brand name used for this project; it is not a registered company. Any references to CainBen Labs indicate the same individual developer.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available in the app. Continued use of ZimPocket after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
