Privacy policy

Introduction

At Bereddo, your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you use our mobile application (“the App”), developed to support household preparedness in a smart and personalized way.

1.      What Information We Collect

When you use Bereddo, we collect information about your household preparedness. We do not ask for your name, email, or other directly identifying personal data. The data we collect includes:

a. Household Context (non-identifying)
- Number of people in your household
- Presence of children (0–17 years)
- Presence of elderly persons (65+ years)
- Presence of pets
- Type of housing (e.g., house, apartment, special housing)
- Access to a car
- Storage space availability for emergency supplies
- Postal code (ZIP code)

b. Preparedness and Inventory Data
- Items you have in your emergency stockpile
- Your self-assessed preparedness level
- Preferences, goals, and reminders related to readiness
- Optional comments and notes

c. Technical Information
- Anonymous device data (e.g. operating system, app version)
- Usage statistics and error reports (for performance and debugging)

2. No Direct Identification

Bereddo does not collect names, email addresses, GPS locations, or any other information that directly identifies you. All data is collected at a household level, and our intention is not to identify individual users.

However, under some circumstances—especially in sparsely populated areas—a combination of postal code and detailed household information might indirectly identify a user. Therefore, we treat all collected data as personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

3. Why We Collect This Data

We use the information to:
- Personalize your emergency preparedness recommendations
- Help you build a tailored inventory and stay on track
- Improve app features based on aggregate user trends
- Generate anonymous statistics that may support public safety or awareness

We never use your data for advertising purposes.

4. Legal Basis Under GDPR

We collect and process your data under the legal basis of:
- Legitimate interest: to provide and improve the App
- Consent: where applicable, for optional features or data sharing
You may withdraw your consent at any time.

5. Data Security and Storage

We store your data securely using encryption and best practices for cloud services. Your data may be stored locally on your device and/or on secure servers within the EU/EEA. We do not transfer personal data outside the EU without adequate safeguards.

6. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access your data
- Request correction or deletion
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Export your data in a portable format
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise these rights, contact us at bjorn.nevhage@beredskapsbyran.se

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share your data with advertisers or third parties for marketing purposes.
We may share fully anonymized, aggregated statistics with trusted partners (e.g., public agencies or researchers) to support crisis preparedness efforts.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated in the app or via our website. Please review the policy periodically.
