Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Klaudjo Shkurta ("I", "me", or "my"), the individual developer operating Brev, collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use the Brev Android application ("the App") or visit the trybrev.app website ("the Website").

I am based in Greece and this policy is written in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679.

1. Who is the Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Klaudjo Shkurta
Independent Developer
Greece
Email: shkurtaklaudjo@gmail.com
Contact form: trybrev.app/contact

2. What Data I Collect and Why

2.1 The Brev Android App

Notes and content you create
All notes you write in Brev are stored locally on your device only. I have no access to your notes and they are never transmitted to any server.

Crash reports and error logs
If the App crashes or encounters an error, crash data is automatically collected and sent to Firebase Crashlytics (operated by Google). This data may include your device model, Android version, app version, and a stack trace describing what the app was doing at the time of the crash. It does not include the content of your notes.

• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to identify and fix bugs in order to maintain a functional app.
• Data processor: Google LLC, acting as a data processor under Google's Data Processing Terms.

Anonymous usage analytics
I collect anonymous, aggregated data about how the App is used — such as which features are used and how frequently. This data cannot be used to identify you individually.

• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to understand how the app is used and improve it.

2.2 The Brev Website (trybrev.app)

Feedback form
When you submit feedback via the form at trybrev.app/feedback, I collect:

• Your feedback text (required)
• Your name (optional)
• Your email address (optional)

This data is used solely to read and respond to your feedback. If you provide your email address, I may reply to your message directly. I do not use this data for marketing or share it with third parties.

• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to receive and respond to user feedback during the beta period.

Beta sign-up (Google Group)
If you join the closed beta via the Google Group at groups.google.com/g/brev-closed-beta, your email address is collected and managed by Google. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details on how Google handles that data.

Website analytics
The Website uses:

• Vercel Analytics — collects anonymous traffic data (page views, referrers, browser type) to understand site usage. No cookies are used. Data is processed by Vercel Inc.
• Google Analytics — collects anonymized data about how visitors use the website. IP addresses are anonymized. Data is processed by Google LLC.

For both services, no data is collected that can personally identify you without additional information.

• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to understand website traffic and improve the site.

3. Cookies

The Brev Website does not use first-party cookies for tracking or advertising. Vercel Analytics operates without cookies. Google Analytics may set cookies on your device to distinguish users and sessions. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

4. How Long I Keep Your Data

5. Who I Share Your Data With

I do not sell your personal data. I share data only with the following third-party service providers, strictly for the purposes described above:

All processors are bound by data processing agreements and are required to protect your data in accordance with GDPR.

6. International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party processors listed above are based in the United States. Transfers of personal data to the US are made under the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), which provide appropriate safeguards for your data.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a resident of the EU/EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — you can request a copy of the personal data I hold about you.
• Right to rectification — you can ask me to correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure — you can request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to restriction — you can ask me to limit how I use your data.
• Right to data portability — you can request your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to object — you can object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at privacy@trybrev.app or via the contact form at trybrev.app/feedback. I will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In Greece, this is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) at www.dpa.gr.

8. Data Security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. The App stores all notes locally on your device and does not transmit them. Third-party processors are contractually required to implement appropriate security measures.

9. Children

Brev is not directed at children under the age of 16. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided me with personal data, please contact me and I will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When I do, I will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. I encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App or Website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
