The Amethyst app for Android does not collect or process any personal information from its users. The app is used to connect to third-party Nostr servers (also called Relays) that may or may not collect personal information and are not covered by this privacy policy. Each third-party relay server comes equipped with its own privacy policy and terms of use that can be viewed through the app or through that server's website. The developers of this open-source project or maintainers of the distribution channels (app stores) do not have access to the data located in the user's phone. Accounts are fully maintained by the user. We do not have control over them.
The Amethyst app for Android does not collect or process any personal information from its users.
The app may collect a per-device token, your public key, and a preferred Relay to connect to and provide push notification services through Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging. Other than that, the data from connected accounts are only stored locally on the device when it's required for the functionality and performance of Amethyst. This data is strictly confidential and cannot be accessed by other apps (on non-rooted devices). Phone data can be deleted by clearing Amethyst's local storage or uninstalling the app.

Amethyst offers a few options to upload pictures and videos in order to post them online. You can choose the server at your discretion. Similar to relays, such services are independent of the app and have their own privacy policy and terms of use.

### Privacy with Relays services
Amethyst offers several options for uploading pictures and videos to post online. You can choose the server at your discretion. Similar to relays, such services are independent of the app and have their own privacy policy and terms of use.
Your internet protocol (IP) address is exposed to the relays you connect to. If you want to improve your privacy, consider utilizing a service that masks your IP address (e.g. a VPN) from trackers online.
### Privacy with Relay services
Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is exposed to the relays you connect to. If you want to improve your privacy, consider utilizing a service that masks your IP address (e.g., a VPN) from trackers online.
The relay can also see which public keys you are using and what information you are requesting from the network. Your public key is tied to your IP address and your relay filters.
Relays have all your data in raw text. They know your IP, your name, your location (guessed from IP), your pub key, all your contacts, and other relays, and can read every action you do (post, like, boost, quote, report, etc) with the exception of the content inside Private Zaps and Private DMs.
While the content of direct messages (DMs) is only visible to you, and your DM Nostr counterparty, everyone can see when you and your counterparty are DM-ing each other. Image uploads in the DM screen use one of the chosen image servers and simply paste the image link on the DM text. Your uploaded pictures are available to anyone with that direct link.

### Visibility & Permanence of Your Content on Nostr Relays
#### Information Visibility
Content that you share can be shared with other relays by any user of the network.
Information that you share is publicly visible to anyone reading from relays that have your information. Your information may also be visible to Nostr users who do not share relays with you.
The information you share is publicly visible to anyone reading from relays that have access to your information. Your information may also be visible to Nostr users who do not share relays with you.
#### Information Permanence
Information shared on Nostr should be assumed permanent for privacy purposes. There is no way to guarantee deleting or editing any content once posted.
## Child safety standards
Amethyst does not knowingly collect information from children. The app has no age verification because it collects no personal information from anyone. The application is 17+. We rely on Google Play's age verification to make sure the user downloading the app is an adult. Since we do not control which relays the user connects to, there is no content moderation beyond the standard block post, block account, and report post and/or account that will hide the content from the user.
## Terms of Use
### For versions downloaded from Google's Play Store
