MER SRC Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Role of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how MER SRC handles personal data when you use the app, contact support, or interact with download and update channels. MER SRC is a personal record-keeping tool and does not provide payment processing, lending, investment services, or financial advice.

2. Data Categories We Process

Depending on how you use MER SRC, we may process the following categories of information:

Record Data: collectible names, categories, valuation notes, ledger entries, budget slot settings, and trend summaries.
Support Data: your email address, message content, and optional files sent through support requests.
Technical Data: app version, device type, and limited diagnostics used to resolve stability issues.
Export Data: CSV files generated by you when you use the export feature.

3. Why We Use Data

We use personal data only for defined operational purposes:

Provide core app functions for collectible tracking, budget management, and ledger visibility.
Maintain app reliability, fix defects, and improve product quality.
Respond to support, privacy, and legal requests.
Comply with legal obligations and protect against abuse or unauthorized access.

MER SRC does not sell personal data and does not use your records for advertising profiling.

4. Legal Grounds for Processing

Where required by law, we rely on one or more of these legal grounds: performance of service obligations, legitimate interests in product security and support, legal compliance, and your consent where applicable.

5. Data Sharing and Service Providers

We may share limited data with service providers only when necessary to operate MER SRC, such as support tooling, secure hosting, and app distribution platforms. Providers must process data under contractual and confidentiality restrictions.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and platform integrity.

6. Data Retention

Data is retained only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy:

In-app records remain available until you delete them or remove the app data.
Support communications are retained for service continuity, dispute handling, and audit needs.
Certain records may be kept longer if required by law or for security investigations.

7. Data Security

MER SRC applies practical technical and organizational safeguards, including access control, secure operational procedures, and periodic reviews of security controls. No method of storage or transmission is fully risk-free, so users should also protect devices and backup files responsibly.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, restrict, or delete personal data, and to object to specific processing activities.

Rights Request Channel: [email protected]. We may need to verify identity before processing certain requests.

9. Children’s Privacy

MER SRC is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law). If you believe a child has provided personal data without authorization, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

10. Third-Party Platforms and International Use

Download or billing pages managed by app-store platforms are governed by their own policies. If data is processed across regions, we use reasonable safeguards consistent with applicable privacy requirements.

11. Policy Updates and Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. Material updates will be reflected by the \"Last Updated\" date on this page.
