Privacy Policy
Boco is built on the fundamental principle of complete privacy. We do not collect, store, or process any user data—period. This Policy explains our zero-data-collection practice and how your family's memories remain entirely in your control, compliant with Canadian privacy laws including PIPEDA.
No account required, no analytics, no tracking, no data sharing. Your family's information never leaves your device.
1. Introduction
Boco is a private family diary app designed to preserve your precious moments without compromising privacy. Our core commitment is zero data collection—we do not gather, store, or process any personal information, usage data, or content from users. This Privacy Policy outlines our unwavering dedication to protecting your privacy and complies with all applicable Canadian privacy legislation. By using the App, you acknowledge understanding of our zero-data practices.
2. Zero Data Collection Policy
We maintain a strict "no data collection" policy. This means:
- We do not collect personal information (names, birthdays, addresses, contact details, etc.)
- We do not collect usage data (how you use the App, features accessed, session times, etc.)
- We do not use analytics, tracking tools, or third-party services that gather user data
- We do not require accounts, email sign-ups, or any form of user identification to use the App
- We do not collect device information (device type, OS version, IP address, etc.)
- We do not collect or process content you create (photos, notes, profiles, etc.) beyond what is stored locally on your device
The App operates entirely on your device—no data is transmitted to our servers, cloud storage, or any third-party platforms.
3. Invitation Code Policy
The App may offer an optional invitation code field during initial setup. This feature is designed solely for internal identification purposes and does not impact your privacy or access to features:
- Invitation codes are optional—you can use the App fully without entering one
- They are used exclusively to distinguish user来源渠道 (e.g., referral, promotional campaign) for internal administrative purposes, with no connection to personal data
- Invitation codes have no functional impact—all App features (including premium tools, virtual coins, family profiles, and timeline functions) are identical for users with or without an invitation code
- Invitation codes are not stored on our servers or any external systems—if entered, they are processed locally on your device and discarded immediately after use
- No personal information is collected, linked, or associated with invitation codes
Entering an invitation code does not result in any data collection or compromise your privacy in any way.
4. Handling of Your Family Content
All content you create or add to Boco—including family profiles, photos, videos, event descriptions, and growth records—remains 100% local to your device. Here’s how we ensure complete control:
- Content is stored exclusively on your device’s internal storage or your chosen local storage (e.g., device gallery)
- We have no access to your content—we cannot view, retrieve, or modify any data you store in the App
- Content is never synced to the cloud, backed up to external servers, or shared with third parties
- You retain full ownership and control of all your content at all times
- Deleting the App will remove all locally stored content (we recommend backing up your device regularly)
Virtual coins (used for premium features) are managed entirely on your device—no financial data or purchase history is collected or stored by us.
5. No Third-Party Data Sharing
Since we collect no user data, there is no information to share, sell, rent, or disclose to any third parties—including:
- Advertising networks or marketing companies
- Analytics providers or data brokers
- Cloud storage services or server providers
- Government entities (except as required by law, though we have no data to disclose)
- Any other third-party service or individual
We do not integrate with any third-party tools, APIs, or services that collect user data. The App functions independently on your device without external data connections related to user information.
6. Children's Privacy
We comply with Canadian privacy laws regarding children's information, and our zero-data-collection policy provides maximum protection for minors:
- No personal information about children is collected, stored, or processed
- Children's profiles, photos, and growth records remain entirely on the family's device
- No parental consent is required for data collection (as we collect no data)
- Parents or guardians have full control over all content related to children stored in the App
7. Security of Your Data
Since all your data remains on your device, security is primarily managed by you and your device's operating system. We enhance local security through:
- Local encryption of App data (compatible with your device's built-in encryption features)
- No remote access points to your data—we cannot access or retrieve any information from your device
- No account credentials to hack or steal (no accounts required)
- Regular App updates to address potential local security vulnerabilities
We recommend securing your device with passcodes, biometric authentication, and regular backups to protect your family's content.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Under Canadian privacy laws, you have inherent rights to your personal information, which our zero-data policy reinforces:
- Right to Control: You have full control over all your family's content and information
- Right to Access: Since we store no data, there is no information for us to provide access to—your data is always accessible on your device
- Right to Erasure: You can delete your content at any time through the App or by uninstalling the App
- Right to Portability: You can export your content from the App to your device's local storage at any time
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Since we collect no data, no consent is required—you can stop using the App at any time with no residual data concerns
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Our zero-data-collection principle is fundamental to Boco, and we do not anticipate changing this core practice. However, we may update this Privacy Policy to:
- Comply with changes to Canadian privacy laws or regulations
- Clarify our practices without altering our zero-data-collection commitment
If we make material changes, we will notify you by:
- Posting the updated Policy in the App (under Settings > Privacy Policy)
- Sending a notification within the App (if you have enabled notifications)
Your continued use of the App after the effective date of the updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
