Privacy Policy

Presh uses your phone number to create and authenticate your account.

Authentication is provided using Firebase Authentication, a service provided by Google. Google may process your phone number, IP address, device information, and technical identifiers in connection with authentication.

We process this information because it is necessary to create and provide your Presh account and the services you request. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If you choose to use contact discovery, Presh asks for permission to access the contacts stored on your device.

Phone numbers from your contacts are normalised and converted into cryptographic comparison values so that Presh can determine which of your contacts already use Presh. Names and other address-book information are not required for this automated matching process.

Contact access is optional and only occurs after you grant permission through your device.

Where accessing information stored on your device requires consent under Section 25 TDDDG, we rely on the permission you provide for this purpose.

You can withdraw contact permission at any time through your device settings.

If you invite someone who does not yet use Presh, we may temporarily process their phone number and information relating to the invitation.

This information is used only to provide the invitation and enable the invited person to connect with you. Presh does not use invited persons' contact information for unrelated marketing.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in providing a personal invitation and contact function.

If you choose to upload a profile picture, it is stored using Firebase Cloud Storage and may be shown to your Presh contacts.

Uploading a profile picture is optional.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR because the processing is necessary to provide the feature you requested.

Presh does not record calls and does not store the audio content of your conversations.

Microphone access only occurs after you grant the corresponding device permission.

The legal basis for providing calls is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Push notifications are optional and require permission through your device.

You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.

We may use Firebase Analytics / Google Analytics to understand how Presh is used and improve the app.

Analytics may include information about app usage, screens or features used, device and app information, technical identifiers, and general information about calls such as whether a call was successfully established and its duration.

We do not send the content of audio calls to analytics services.

Where legally required, analytics is activated only after you have provided consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

If analytics is not activated in your version of Presh, no analytics data is collected through Firebase Analytics.

These providers may process personal data on our behalf or, for certain services, under their own responsibility.

Where required, we have appropriate data processing agreements in place with service providers acting as processors.

Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States.

Where required, international transfers are protected through an applicable adequacy decision, including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or other safeguards permitted under the GDPR.

You can contact us if you would like further information about the safeguards used for international transfers.

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Account information and contact relationships are generally retained while your account exists.

Temporary information relating to calls, invitations, notifications, activity, and technical operation is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required for the relevant function, security, troubleshooting, or legal obligations.

Some information may remain for a limited period in technical backups maintained by our service providers.

You can delete your Presh account directly in the app.

When you delete your account, we delete or anonymise personal data associated with your account where it is no longer required.

We may retain limited information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Anonymous or aggregated information that can no longer be linked to you may be retained.

You can manage these permissions at any time in your device settings.

Presh does not require access to your precise location.

Presh is intended for users aged 16 and older.

If we learn that an account has been created by a person who is not permitted to use Presh under our age requirements, we may delete the account and associated information.

We may update this Privacy Policy when Presh, our service providers, or legal requirements change.

If we make material changes, we may also notify you through the app or another appropriate method.
