WorldScanner Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

Eridu Technologies (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates WorldScanner, a world news scanner application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the App, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

To create and maintain your WorldScanner account, we collect the following account information:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your password (stored in encrypted/hashed form; we never store it in plain text)

We do not collect any other personal information beyond what is necessary to create and manage your account.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

• Create, secure, and authenticate your account
• Provide access to the App and its features
• Communicate with you about your account, such as password resets or important updates
• Maintain the security and integrity of the App

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your account information with third parties, except where required to operate the App (such as our hosting and authentication infrastructure providers) or where required by law.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account or request deletion, we will delete your name, email address, and password from our systems, except where retention is required to comply with legal obligations.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including password hashing, to protect your account information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You may update your account information at any time within the App. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account information by contacting us at eridutechnologies@gmail.com.

7. Children's Privacy

WorldScanner is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
