Mobile App Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 4, 2025

This Mobile App Privacy Policy complements our main Global Privacy Policy and outlines how Anina ("Anina," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use the Anina mobile application (the "App"). By using our App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect Through the App

In addition to the information described in our Global Privacy Policy, when you use the Anina App, we may also collect:

App Usage Data: We collect data related to how you interact with our App, such as which features you use, how long you spend within the App, and details about App crashes or performance issues. This helps us monitor and improve the App's performance and your experience.

Device Identifiers & Network Information: While we don't intentionally collect unique mobile device identifiers (like IDFA or Android Advertising ID) or mobile network information beyond what's typically gathered by standard analytics tools (like Google Analytics, if enabled by default for app usage analysis), these may be collected as part of general app usage data for performance monitoring purposes.

2. Device Permissions and Their Use

The Anina App may request specific permissions from your mobile device to enable certain functionalities. We only request permissions necessary for the App's operation and features you choose to use:

Location (Precise/Approximate): Requested to enable the search for products nearby your location.

Camera: Requested to allow sellers to upload product photos and for users to submit photos for product reviews.

Photos/Media/Files (Storage): Requested to allow users and sellers to upload images/videos from their device's gallery, for potential offline content storage, and for basic app caching to improve performance.

Contacts: Requested if you choose to use features that allow you to invite friends to the App.

Notifications (Push Notifications): Requested to send you important updates regarding your orders, promotions, and messages from our support team.

You can manage these permissions at any time through your device's operating system settings. Please note that disabling certain permissions may affect the functionality of the App.

3. How We Use Information from the App

Information collected through the App is used primarily for:

App Functionality: To provide and maintain the core features and services of the App.

App Performance Improvement: To understand how the App performs, identify and fix issues, and enhance your overall experience.

Please note that we do not combine the information collected specifically through the mobile application with data collected from the Anina website to create a unified user profile.

4. Sharing Information Collected Through the App

We do not currently plan to share data collected solely through the App with third-party mobile advertising networks or specific mobile analytics providers (e.g., Adjust, AppsFlyer) beyond what Google Analytics may collect by default for general analysis purposes. Similarly, we do not currently plan to share this data with specific cloud service providers for the App's backend beyond the essential services required for the App's operation, unless explicitly requested by integrated services like Google Analytics for their analysis.

5. Local Storage and Caching

The App may utilize local storage (e.g., caching) on your device to enhance performance and provide a smoother user experience. This typically involves temporarily storing data to reduce loading times and improve responsiveness.

6. Your Controls and Choices

While there are no specific in-app privacy controls beyond what's offered by your device's operating system, you can always manage the permissions granted to the Anina App directly through your mobile device's settings. This allows you to control access to your location, camera, photos, contacts, and notification preferences.

7. Third-Party Advertisements

The Anina App does not display third-party advertisements.
