Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Account Information: If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your email address and display name from Google. This is used for authentication and to manage your premium status or public event submissions.
• Personal Calendar Events: Private events you create are stored locally on your device or synced with your Google Account. We do not store these on our own servers.
• Public Events & Media: If you have a Creator subscription and create "Public Events," the event details (title, description, location, date, category) and any uploaded posters are stored on our Firebase Firestore and Storage servers to be shared with other Boshkeh users.

Information Collected Automatically

• Usage Data & Analytics: We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous information about how the app is used (e.g., feature usage, session duration) to help us improve the experience.
• Advertising ID: For users on the free tier, we use Google AdMob to show advertisements. AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID and usage data for advertising purposes.
• Location Data (Country Detection Only): With your permission, the app detects your country to display relevant national holidays. GPS coordinates are discarded immediately after determining your country code.
• Device Settings: We read your device's language and timezone to provide a localized experience.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide core calendar and holiday functionality.
• Facilitate the creation and discovery of Public Events.
• Manage premium subscriptions via RevenueCat.
• Deliver push notifications for event reminders and updates.
• Improve app performance via anonymous analytics.
• Show advertisements (for free-tier users).

Data Storage & Security

• Private Data: Stored locally on your device and/or your Google Account.
• Public Data: Public events you publish are stored in Google Firebase and are visible to all Boshkeh users.
• Cloud Services: We use a Cloudflare Worker as a secure gateway to manage premium access and broadcast notifications.

Third-Party Services

The app uses the following third-party services:

• Google Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Storage, Analytics, Messaging)
• Google AdMob
• RevenueCat
• BigDataCloud / ipapi.co (for country detection)
• Cloudflare

Account Deletion & Data Retention

If you have created an account with Boshkeh, you have the right to request the deletion of your account and all associated personal data at any time.

How to Request Deletion:

• In-App: Navigate to Profile → Settings → Delete Account. This will immediately and permanently delete your account and all synced data.
• Telegram Support Bot: Search for our official bot in Telegram or use the link in the app. Select "Delete My Account" and follow the secure verification steps sent to your device.
• Via Web: Visit our Account Deletion Page to submit a secure request directly from your browser. Alternatively, you can email us at boshkehinfo@gmail.com.

Note on Subscriptions: Deleting your Boshkeh account does not automatically cancel any active premium subscriptions billed through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. You must manually cancel your subscription in your device's store settings to avoid future charges. Refunds are handled exclusively by the respective store providers.

Data Removed:

Upon deletion, Boshkeh will remove:

• Your authentication profile and email address.
• All synced holiday reminders and personal events.

Private local data on your device is removed when you uninstall the application.

Your Choices

We specifically use your Google Account information to:
