This Privacy Policy explains how Mecore ("the app") may collect, use, store, and disclose information when you use the app and its related features and services.

By using the app, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

1. Overview

Mecore is a tool for creating, organizing, importing, saving, and sharing user-generated boards and related content.

Some app features may rely on Apple platform services, including iCloud and CloudKit, as well as other third-party services or device-level features.

The app may also offer optional paid features or subscription-based features, such as ad-free boards, crop preview tools, and custom board covers.

2. Information You Provide

You may provide information through your use of the app, including:

• content you create, save, import, upload, or share, such as boards, images, links, notes, text, and related materials;
• information you include in reports, support requests, or communications;
• information associated with shared boards or collaboration features.

You are responsible for the information and content you choose to create, store, or share through the app.

3. Information Collected Automatically

Depending on how you use the app and which features you enable, the app may process or store certain technical or usage-related information, such as:

• app settings and preferences;
• local identifiers used to support app functionality, sharing, safety, moderation, paid features, or collaboration features;
• information needed to sync content across devices using Apple services;
• limited diagnostic, moderation, purchase-related, or service-related metadata necessary to operate, secure, and improve the app.

We do not describe all platform-level collection performed independently by Apple or other third parties. Those services are governed by their own privacy policies.

4. Subscription and Purchase-Related Information

If you purchase or use paid features, the app may process limited purchase-related information, such as subscription status, entitlement status, transaction identifiers, receipt information, purchase history, or related metadata, as necessary to provide paid features, verify access, restore purchases, prevent misuse, troubleshoot purchase issues, and comply with platform requirements.

Purchases and payments are processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your full payment card information.

If your subscription or purchase status cannot be verified due to Apple services, network conditions, device settings, account issues, or other external factors, access to paid features may be temporarily unavailable.

5. Advertising and Ad-Free Features

The app may display advertisements in certain areas. If you purchase or use an ad-free feature or subscription, the app may use your subscription or entitlement status to determine whether ads should be shown.

Advertising partners, platform providers, or other third-party services may process certain information according to their own privacy practices. We do not sell your personal information.

6. How Information Is Used

Information may be used to:

• provide and operate the app's features;
• save, sync, restore, organize, and display user content;
• enable sharing, collaboration, and import features;
• provide, verify, manage, and restore paid features or subscriptions;
• determine whether advertisements should be shown;
• support safety features such as reporting, hiding content, blocking users, and moderation;
• investigate misuse, abuse, or violations of the Terms of Use;
• maintain security, reliability, and functionality;
• provide support and respond to user inquiries;
• comply with legal obligations.

7. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information.

Information may be disclosed or made available in the following circumstances:

• when you choose to share content with other users or recipients;
• when app functionality requires the use of Apple or other third-party services;
• when necessary to process, verify, manage, or restore purchases or paid features;
• when necessary to investigate reports, enforce our Terms, protect users, or address abuse or security issues;
• when required by applicable law, legal process, or governmental request;
• in connection with a business transfer, reorganization, or similar event, to the extent permitted by law.

Content you intentionally share may be visible to recipients, and recipients may be able to report, hide, block, save, or import shared content depending on app features.

8. Moderation and Safety Data

If you report content or a user, or use blocking or hiding features, the app may store and process report details, moderation actions, blocked user identifiers, hidden content identifiers, and related metadata.

This information may be used to:

• review and respond to reports;
• enforce the Terms of Use;
• improve safety systems;
• prevent repeated abuse;
• protect users and the service.

9. Storage and Sync

The app may store information locally on your device and, where applicable, through Apple services such as iCloud or CloudKit.

Some content and data may sync across your devices or be transmitted as necessary to support app features.

We cannot guarantee that storage, sync, sharing, restoration, or access to content will always be uninterrupted, secure, complete, accurate, or error-free.

10. Third-Party Services

The app may rely on third-party services, platform infrastructure, advertising services, purchase processing services, or external links. These services may have their own privacy practices and terms.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services, including Apple platform services, advertising partners, websites, or external content providers.

11. Data Retention

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• provide the app and its features;
• maintain saved or shared content;
• provide, verify, manage, or restore paid features;
• support moderation and safety functions;
• comply with legal obligations;
• resolve disputes;
• enforce our agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the feature involved, and legal or operational needs.

12. Your Choices

Depending on your use of the app, you may be able to:

• delete content from within the app;
• stop sharing content;
• block or hide shared content or users;
• change certain device or app permissions;
• disable or limit certain sync-related features through Apple settings;
• manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple ID settings.

Because some functionality depends on device-level, platform-level, or third-party services, additional controls may also be available through those services.

13. Children

The app is not intended for use in violation of applicable child privacy laws. If you believe that personal information was provided inappropriately, please contact us.

14. International Use

If you use the app from outside Japan, information may be processed and stored in other jurisdictions depending on the third-party services and platform infrastructure used to provide the app.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may provide notice within the app or by other reasonable means.

Your continued use of the app after the updated Privacy Policy takes effect means you acknowledge the revised policy.
