Introduction

Welcome to Citas. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information associated with your use of our app. Citas is a bilingual inspirational quotes app designed to work primarily offline. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

Data Collection

Citas is designed with a privacy-first approach. The app collects minimal data and stores most information locally on your device. Specifically:

• Local Storage: Your favorite quotes, language preference, theme settings, and selected categories are stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. This data never leaves your device.
• No Account Required: Citas does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information to use the app.
• No Personal Data: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information.

How We Use Data

The locally stored data is used solely to:

• Remember your language and theme preferences.
• Save your favorite quotes so you can access them later.
• Personalize your feed based on your selected categories.
• Track which quotes you have seen to provide a non-repeating experience.

This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Third-Party Services

Citas may use the following third-party services:

• Quote Sources: The app fetches quotes from external APIs (ZenQuotes, DummyJSON) through our backend server. These requests do not include any personal or device-identifying information.
• Analytics (Future): We may integrate anonymous analytics in future versions to understand general app usage patterns. If implemented, this will be reflected in an updated version of this policy. No personally identifiable information will be collected.

Notifications

Citas may use local notifications to deliver daily inspirational quotes to your device. These notifications are generated and scheduled locally on your device. No data is sent to external servers for notification purposes. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.

Data Security

Since Citas stores data locally on your device, the security of your data is tied to the security of your device. We recommend:

• Keeping your device software up to date.
• Using a device lock (PIN, fingerprint, or face recognition).
• Being cautious about granting app permissions.

Our backend server uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmission when syncing quotes.

Children's Privacy

Citas is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Since the app does not collect personal data from any user, no special provisions for children's data are necessary.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
