"Pachli" and "Pachli Current" Privacy Policy

Data access

"Pachli" and "Pachli Current" (collectively "the application") process data from your Mastodon server ("server") locally on your device.

After using the application to sign in to an account on your server your data is fetched and stored securely on your device. As you use the application additional data will be fetched and stored securely on your device.

You may use the application to share new data with your server (e.g., a new post, an image), or edit existing data (e.g., your account's profile).

You can not create an account using the application.

Data security

All local data is processed using secure Android APIs.

All network data is encrypted using https.

Data deletion

All locally cached data for an account is deleted if you do any of the following:

  • Log out of the account in the application
  • Clear the application's local storage
  • Uninstall the application

You can not delete your Mastodon account using the application. Deleting your account must be done through your server's web interface.

Data sharing

None of the data used by the application is shared with the application developers or unrelated third parties. Your data is only ever sent to your server, and handled in accordance with your server's privacy policy.

Data types

The application processes the following types of data.

Data Purpose
Authentication token Generated by your server. Used to log in to your account and ensure the application can not access your username or password

Again, none of this data is shared with the application developers or unrelated third parties.

Permissions
