**Effective date:** March 25, 2026
**Company:** LLC BRICS TRAVEL
**Contact email:** mail@brics-travel.com
## 1. Purpose
This Privacy Policy explains how the BRICS Travel Guide mobile application ("App") may collect, use, and share information when you use the App. It also describes your choices and rights.
## 2. Who this policy applies to
This Privacy Policy applies to users of the BRICS Travel Guide mobile App.
## 3. Information we collect
### 3.1 Information collected automatically
When you use the App, we may collect standard technical and request-related information associated with your device and interactions with our backend services, such as:
- IP address
- Device and technical information (e.g., OS/app version)
- Information about what content you view or request (e.g., events, holidays, places, links, shop items)
- Selected language (used to serve localized content)
We use this information to operate the service, maintain security, and ensure reliability.
### 3.2 Information stored on your device
The App stores certain information locally on your device to improve usability and performance, including:
- Language preference
- Cached content to speed up the App and enable offline/limited offline behavior
- Notification/reminder settings and reminder data (saved locally so reminders can be managed)
### 3.3 Notifications (permissions and local reminders)
If you grant notification permission, the App can schedule reminders for events and display notifications. Reminder content may include information such as the event title and reminder timing. Reminder data is managed by the App and may be stored locally on your device for your reminder management.
### 3.4 Calendar (permissions and event creation)
If you grant calendar access and choose to add an event, the App can create calendar entries in your device's calendar application. The event details added to your calendar depend on what you select in the App.
## 4. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide localized content through our backend services
- Support event reminders via notifications (when enabled)
- Create calendar events when you choose to add them
- Improve performance using on-device caching
- Maintain security and reliability of our backend services
## 5. Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information.
We may share limited information with:
- Service providers that help operate and maintain our backend infrastructure (for example, hosting providers)
- Authorities or in connection with legal or security reasons, if required by law or to protect rights and safety
We do not share your information with third parties for advertising purposes.
## 6. International transfers
Because the App is available worldwide, your requests may be transferred and processed in other jurisdictions.
## 7. Data retention and deletion
- On-device data (language preference, cached content, and locally stored reminder data) remains on your device until you clear the App's data, uninstall the App, or the data is updated/removed during normal App behavior.
- Backend request logs and related records may be retained for a limited period for security, troubleshooting, and service operation.
- **Account Deletion:** If you create an account within the App, you may request the deletion of your account and associated data at any time. You can initiate this request directly within the App's settings or by contacting us at mail@brics-travel.com. Upon request, we will delete your account and associated personal data, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain information.
## 8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the information we collect and process. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
## 9. Your choices and rights
Depending on your device settings and jurisdiction, you may be able to:
- Revoke notification permissions in your device settings
- Revoke calendar permissions in your device settings
- Clear app data (this may remove cached content and locally stored reminder data)
- Manage and remove calendar events you added from within your calendar app
## 10. Children's privacy
The App is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
## 11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will reflect the latest updates. Continued use of the App after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
