Anonymous Analytics

We collect anonymous usage signals (e.g., "app opened", "report generated") through TelemetryDeck. No personal content or identifiers are collected.

Why We Process Your Data

• AI Report Generation - Legal basis: Contract (you request it, we provide it)
• Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention - Legal basis: Legitimate interests (protecting service availability)

2. UK: Information Commissioner's Office
3. EU: Your local Data Protection Authority

AI-Generated Content

Reports are generated using artificial intelligence (Anthropic). This is not automated decision-making that produces legal effects. It's a tool you choose to use.

Data Security

• AES-256-GCM encryption for local data
• TLS 1.3 for data in transit
• Encryption keys stored in iOS Keychain
• No user accounts or passwords to compromise

Children & Young Users

Nightmare is for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has used the app, we will delete any personal data we hold promptly.

Parental Consent

In jurisdictions where the age of digital consent is higher than 13 (up to 16 in parts of the EU/EEA), users below that threshold require verifiable parental or guardian consent before using features that send data to third parties, such as AI report generation. Parents or guardians who provide consent take responsibility for the minor's use of those features.

Parents and guardians have the right to:

• Review the personal data processed in connection with their child's use
• Request deletion of their child's data
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights: support@nightmare.app

You have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect and how it's used
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of any sale of personal information (we don't sell)

We will never discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
