Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Oweo, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Mastodon and Fediverse client application.

What We Collect

Oweo is designed with privacy first. We collect minimal data necessary to provide our service:

• OAuth tokens to authenticate with your chosen Mastodon instance
• App preferences and settings (stored locally on your device)
• Cache data for improved performance (stored locally)

What We Don't Collect

Unlike many social media apps, Oweo does NOT collect:

• Personal information beyond what's required for authentication
• Analytics or tracking data
• Advertising identifiers
• Location data
• Contact lists or phone data
• Browsing history or behavior patterns

How We Use Your Data

The limited data we collect is used solely to:

• Authenticate you with your Mastodon instance
• Display your timeline and interact with the Fediverse on your behalf
• Save your app preferences for a better experience
• Cache content for faster loading times

Third-Party Services

Oweo connects to Mastodon instances that you choose. These instances have their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of your chosen instance. Oweo does not control or access data beyond what the Mastodon API provides for authenticated requests.

Data Storage and Security

All your data is stored locally on your device. OAuth tokens are stored securely using industry-standard encryption. We do not maintain centralized servers that store your personal information or social media content.

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

• Delete your account and all associated data at any time through the app settings
• Revoke access tokens from your Mastodon instance settings
• Clear cached data and preferences
• Export your data (as provided by your Mastodon instance)

GDPR and CCPA Compliance

Oweo is designed to comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. Since we collect minimal data and store it locally on your device, most data protection regulations favor our approach. You can exercise your rights by contacting us at hello@oweo.app.

Children's Privacy

Oweo is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through the app. Your continued use of Oweo after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
