Privacy Policy

1) Who we are (Data Controller)

LumiFur is provided by Richies 3D Ltd ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for personal data processed through the app.

2) What this policy covers

This policy explains how we handle information when you use LumiFur, a SwiftUI iOS app designed to control fursuit LED/light systems (for example LED matrices or arrays) using connectivity such as Bluetooth and, where enabled, Wi-Fi.

3) Summary

• No account is required.
• We do not sell your data.
• We do not run third-party ad tracking.
• Connectivity data (Bluetooth or local network) is used to connect to your controller device and send commands.
• Most data stays on your device unless you choose to share it (for example by emailing logs).

4) Information we collect and use

5) What we do not collect

We do not intentionally collect:

• precise GPS location
• contacts
• photos or camera content
• microphone recordings
• advertising identifiers (IDFA)
• data used for cross-app tracking

6) How we share data

We share personal data only:

• with service providers that help us operate support or distribution (for example Apple's App Store or TestFlight), where applicable
• when required by law (for example a lawful request by authorities)
• with your consent (for example when you choose to email logs or screenshots to us)

We do not sell personal data.

7) International transfers

If we use providers that process data outside the UK or EEA, we will put in place appropriate safeguards where required, such as UK adequacy regulations or Standard Contractual Clauses.

8) Data retention

• On-device data (preferences, recent device information, telemetry history) is kept until you delete the app or use any in-app reset or clear options.
• Support emails are retained only as long as needed to resolve your request and maintain reasonable records of support, and are then deleted or anonymised.

9) Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data, including:

• limiting data collection to what is needed for device control and support
• relying on iOS security features such as sandboxing and system permissions
• recommending that you keep your device and iOS up to date

Because Bluetooth and local networks are shared environments, you should only connect to controller devices that you trust.

10) Your GDPR / UK GDPR rights

If you are in the UK or EEA, you have rights which may include:

• access to your personal data
• correction of inaccurate data
• deletion of your data
• restriction of processing
• objection to certain processing
• data portability (where applicable)
• withdrawal of consent (where we rely on consent)

To exercise these rights, contact: privacy@richies.uk

We may need to verify your identity before completing your request.

11) Complaints

You can complain to your local data protection authority if you have concerns about how we handle your personal data.

In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

12) Children

LumiFur is not directed to children under 13 years of age (or the relevant age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so that we can delete it.

13) Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example when LumiFur gains new features or when legal requirements change.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this document and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or via the App Store listing.
