1. Overview

Share Quote ("Share Quote", "we", "us", or "our") is developed and operated by an independent individual developer.

We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information Share Quote collects, why we collect it, how it is used and shared, how long it is retained, and the choices available to you.

Share Quote is designed to be guest-first. There is no sign-up, password, phone number or real email address required to use the App.

Your saved quotes, preferences and other app activity are associated with a pseudonymous installation identifier rather than an account identified by your real-world name.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Share Quote mobile application and related services operated by us.

Depending on where you live and how you use Share Quote, additional privacy rights may apply to you under applicable data protection laws, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").

Where applicable law requires us to obtain your consent for a particular processing activity, we will request that consent separately. You may withdraw consent where applicable.

2. Who Operates Share Quote

Share Quote is developed and operated by an independent individual developer.

Privacy contact: admin.sharequote@gmail.com

Share Quote is not operated by a company or organization.

3. Guest Identifier and Placeholder Email

Share Quote does not require you to create a traditional user account.

To recognize your installation and keep your likes, saved quotes, collections and preferences consistent between sessions, we use a pseudonymous installation identifier.

Although this identifier does not directly contain your name, phone number or email address, it may be treated as personal data under applicable privacy laws where it can be associated with information relating to you.

About the "email" stored in our database

Our database was designed so that optional sign-in could be supported in the future. As a result, a guest record may contain an internal placeholder identifier in an email-shaped format such as:

anonymous_<deviceId>@quotevault.app

This is not a real email address, is not a functioning mailbox, is not used to contact you, and is not your personal email address. Nothing is sent to this address.

Google Sign-In is not currently available in Share Quote.

The receiving platform may collect, store, use or share that content according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Similarly, when you save an image to your device or set it as wallpaper, the relevant Android or device functionality may process the content according to the applicable platform's behavior and policies.
