Privacy

A few personal words

Before sharing the more standardized version of Musea's privacy policy with you, I'd like to explain it in a more personal way.

Privacy is very important to me. That's why Musea is designed to protect yours. None of the data you enter in the app ever leaves your phone. Your photos, the names of artworks, the places where you see them—all are stored only on your device.

The only thing that leaves your phone is anonymized information about how the app is used — for instance, which buttons are tapped on each screen, how long the app stays open before closing, or from which country it is accessed. These data are grouped together with those from other users, allowing me to see if anything in the app is unclear, not intuitive, or could be improved. I want to emphasize that this information is both anonymized and aggregated; I have no way of knowing who pressed which button or when.

Not even indirectly. That means I can't know "John Doe tapped this button," nor can I know "Someone living near Main Street with a red iPhone tapped this button." The only things I can see are general insights like "12,532 people tapped the 'create new artwork' button," "253 people opened the app from Spain yesterday," or "Users spend an average of 12 minutes with the app open."

This kind of data is important because it might reveal situations like "12,532 people tapped the 'create new artwork' button, but only 5 actually created one." That helps me conclude that perhaps the creation process isn't very clear, or maybe the button is too large and gets tapped by mistake. This is what my data dashboard looks like:

By the way, this aggregated usage data is collected and stored via Aptabase, an app analytics service designed precisely to obtain this type of data while maintaining privacy as a core principle. The data are stored on servers within the European Union.

That's all. I hope everything is clear, but if not, I'd be happy to personally answer your questions via email at mlzsergiomlz@gmail.com
