Key Points to Note:

• The App is a progressive web app (PWA) and does not require downloading via an app store.
• There are no user logins or account creation within the App.
• All data is stored locally on your device.
• The App does not share any user data online.

By using the App or accessing its website (https://suicideorkneysupport.co.uk), you agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

The App is designed with privacy in mind and does not collect, store, or transmit any personal or identifiable data to external servers. Specifically:

• No Account Data: There are no accounts or logins.
• No Usage Tracking: The App does not track user behaviour or usage patterns.

2. Local Storage and Cookies

The App uses localStorage and cookies to provide a better user experience. These technologies are used to:

Important Notes:

• LocalStorage data is stored entirely on your device and is not accessible to us or any third party.

While we strive to provide reliable and accurate links, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external websites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external sites they visit.
