Kitsune Privacy Policy

Last updated: Sep 23, 2023.
Welcome to Kitsune! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our privacy-focused app, Kitsune. We prioritize your privacy and have designed this policy to be clear and easy to understand. Please take a moment to read it carefully.

1. Introduction

   Kitsune is a privacy-focused app that allows you to track your animes and mangas using your MyAnimeList account. We collect minimal data to minimize app crashes and to provide a feedback feature. Rest assured that all the data we collect is fully anonymous and cannot be traced back to you.

2. Data Collection

   2.1 Anonymous Data Collection
   We do not sell or rent your data to any third parties. Furthermore, our app does not contain any advertisements. We believe in keeping your data secure and confidential.
   
   2.3 Aptabase Analytics
   To help us minimize crashes and improve the app's performance, we utilize the Aptabase service, a privacy-first app analytics tool. This service anonymizes the reports we receive, ensuring that all data remains private. The information collected includes:

   • Random User ID: This helps us understand the number of users currently using the app and how many are using the latest version.
   • Device Type: We collect information about the device you're using, such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or Apple TV.
   • Device Version: We collect details about the specific device version, such as iPhone 11 or SE.
   • OS Version: We collect the version of the operating system you're using.
   • App Store or TestFlight Version: We determine whether you're using the App Store or TestFlight version of the app.
   • Locale: We collect information about your selected language and country.
   • App Information: We collect data related to the app itself, including the app version, build number, and any relevant reports.
   These reports are only sent when certain events occur, such as when content fails to load, when a user disables certain app functionalities (e.g., transparency background). This information is solely used to improve the app's functionality and understand user preferences.

3. Data Security

   3.1 MyAnimeList API
   The app's content data is provided by the MyAnimeList API via secure HTTP/S requests. All HTTPS requests are encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols, ensuring the privacy and integrity of the transmitted data.
   
   

4. Contact

   If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding this Privacy Policy or our app's privacy practices, please feel free to contact the developer at [email protected]. We value your privacy and will address any inquiries as promptly as possible.

Thank you for using Kitsune!
