Privacy Policy - Dreamanart

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

When you create an account, use our preparedness tools, or contact us, we may collect: your name, email address, location (optional, for localized alerts), emergency contact information, and any content you submit such as preparedness plans or social posts.

Information Collected Automatically

We automatically collect device information (type, OS, browser version), usage data (pages visited, features used, timestamps), and approximate location derived from your IP address. This data is used to improve our services and ensure compatibility.

Offline Data

Dreamanart is designed to work offline. Much of your data — including preparedness checklists, emergency plans, and downloaded guides — is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to sync or share.

How We Use Your Information

Core Service Delivery

We use your information to provide and maintain the platform, including personalized survival guides, emergency alerts tailored to your region, and preparedness tracking tools.

Social Features

When you participate in social forums, post help requests, or share resources, the information you choose to share is visible to other users according to your privacy settings.

Improvement & Development

Aggregated and anonymized usage data helps us understand which features are most valuable, identify bugs, and prioritize new development — especially for offline functionality that matters in crisis situations.

Safety & Security

We may use your information to detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, security breaches, or violations of our Social Guidelines.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We Do Not Sell Your Data

Dreamanart will never sell your personal information to third parties. This is a fundamental principle of our platform.

Humanitarian Partners

In genuine emergency situations, and only with your explicit consent or where required by law, we may share relevant information with verified humanitarian organizations (e.g., Red Cross, UN agencies) to facilitate disaster response and aid delivery.

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics) who process data on our behalf under strict contractual obligations. These providers are bound by confidentiality and may not use your data for their own purposes.

Legal Compliance

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or others.

Data Retention & Storage

Retention Periods

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. After account deletion, we remove your personal data from our servers within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

Local Storage

Data stored locally on your device (preparedness plans, downloaded guides, documents) remains until you delete it manually or uninstall the app. We have no access to this locally stored data.

Backup & Security

Server-side data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We maintain encrypted backups and conduct regular security audits. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Essential Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session, remember your theme preference (light/dark), and enable core functionality. These cookies do not require consent as they are necessary for the service to function.

Analytics

We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand usage patterns. You can opt out of analytics tracking at any time through your account settings or by adjusting your browser's cookie preferences.

Local Storage & IndexedDB

Dreamanart uses browser local storage and IndexedDB to store your preparedness data offline. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly sync it. Clearing your browser data will remove this information.

Your Privacy Rights

Access & Portability

You have the right to request a copy of all personal data we hold about you, in a portable, machine-readable format. Submit requests through your account settings or by contacting us.

Correction & Deletion

You can correct inaccurate information at any time through your account settings. You may request complete deletion of your account and associated data, which we process within 30 days.

Opt-Out

You can opt out of: marketing communications, analytics tracking, location-based alerts, and social visibility. Each opt-out is available in your privacy settings and takes effect immediately.

Regional Rights

If you are in the EU (GDPR), UK (UK GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), or other jurisdictions with specific privacy laws, you have additional rights including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children's Privacy

Age Requirements

Dreamanart is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
