Europe Project Finder is operated by Bedouin Apps Ltd (“Bedouin Apps”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Europe Project Finder mobile application (“the App”).
1. Information stored on your device
The App allows you to create a profile containing information such as:
- Your name
- Date of birth
- Country of residence and nationality
- Languages
- Project interests
- Travel availability and preferences
The App also stores your saved projects, application status, personal notes, reminders, and notification history.
This information is stored locally on your device and is used to provide project matching and other App features. It is not uploaded to Bedouin Apps, project organisers, NGOs, Google Firestore, or Adapty.
Deleting the App will normally delete this locally stored information. Copies may remain in device backups managed by Apple, depending on your backup settings.
2. Subscription and technical information
Europe Project Finder uses Adapty to display subscription offers, process subscription status, restore purchases, and measure paywall performance.
Adapty may process:
- An anonymous App user identifier
- Device model, operating system, language, and App version
- IP address and approximate country derived from it
- Device identifiers, such as the Identifier for Vendor
- The advertising identifier, if it is available under your device settings and Apple’s permissions
- Paywall views and interactions
- Purchase, trial, renewal, refund, and subscription-status information
We do not send your Europe Project Finder profile, date of birth, name, interests, saved projects, or personal notes to Adapty.
Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card or bank account details. You can learn more from Apple’s Privacy Policy and Adapty’s End-Users Privacy Policy.
3. Project information and Google Firestore
The App connects to Google Firestore to download published project listings and updates. These requests do not contain your profile or matching preferences.
As with most internet services, Google may process technical request information such as your IP address and connection details to deliver and secure the service. More information is available in the Google Cloud Privacy Notice.
4. Notifications
If you enable notifications, the App may send alerts about new projects and application deadlines. Notification permission is controlled through your iOS settings.
The App does not upload your profile to a notification server. Matching and scheduling are performed on your device. You can disable notifications at any time through the App or your device settings.
5. Support communications
If you contact us by email, we will receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We use this information only to respond to your request, provide support, and maintain necessary support records.
Please avoid including sensitive personal information in support messages.
6. How information is used
Information processed through the App and its service providers is used to:
- Operate and maintain the App
- Match project listings with your locally stored preferences
- Provide and restore Premium subscriptions
- Display and evaluate subscription offers
- Download updated project listings
- Deliver notifications you have enabled
- Respond to support requests
- Prevent fraud, address technical problems, and meet legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information. The App does not display third-party advertising.
7. Service providers
We use a limited number of service providers:
- Apple processes App Store purchases and provides iOS platform services.
- Adapty manages subscription information, paywalls, and related analytics.
- Google Cloud Firestore hosts and delivers published project listings.
These providers process information according to their own privacy policies and their agreements with us. We expect service providers handling information on our behalf to apply appropriate privacy and security protections.
We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect users, our rights, or the security of the App.
8. External websites and project organisers
Project listings may contain links to application forms, NGO websites, social media pages, infopacks, or other third-party services.
When you open an external link, that third party may collect information under its own privacy policy. Bedouin Apps does not control the privacy practices or content of external websites and project organisers.
Your App profile is not automatically shared with those organisations.
9. Legal grounds for processing
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on:
- Providing the App and subscription services you request
- Your consent, such as when you enable notifications
- Our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the App
- Compliance with applicable legal obligations
You may withdraw notification permission at any time through your device settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before the permission was withdrawn.
10. Data retention and deletion
Locally stored profile information, saved projects, notes, and reminders remain on your device until you remove them or delete the App.
Subscription and technical information processed through Adapty or Apple is retained according to their applicable retention periods and legal obligations. Support communications are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the request, maintain support records, or meet legal requirements.
You may contact us to request deletion of information that Bedouin Apps or Adapty processes on our behalf. We may need limited information to identify the relevant subscription profile or support record.
11. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or portability of your personal information, or to object to certain processing.
Because most profile information remains only on your device, Bedouin Apps cannot access or retrieve that information. You can modify it in the App or delete it by deleting the App.
To make a privacy request concerning information processed by us or our service providers, contact us using the address below. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
12. Children’s privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. Profile information, including date of birth, remains on the device and is not sent to Bedouin Apps or project organisers.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through a support communication, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
13. Security
We and our service providers use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information. However, no storage or internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, our service providers, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be published with a revised effective date.
