QI-Alert Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-07

This policy explains how the QI-Alert mobile app ("App"), published by KareKimlik Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. ("we"), handles data.

Summary

• The App does not ask for an account, name, email or phone number.
• Notification messages are stored only on your device and are deleted automatically after 30 days.
• There are no ads, analytics or tracking.

Data we process

Push notification identifier. To receive notifications, your device gets an identifier (token) from Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). The topics you subscribe to are linked to this identifier. It does not identify you as a person and is used only to deliver notifications.

Subscription invites. When you open an invite link or scan a QR code, the App contacts the QI-Alert server to fetch the invite details (channel name, subscription period). If you enter a PIN, it is sent to the server for verification and is not stored. To prevent abuse (for example, PIN attempt limits) the server may process your IP address temporarily.

Messages and subscriptions. Received notifications and your subscription list are stored only on your device. Messages are deleted automatically after 30 days, keeping at most 1000. Deleting the App deletes all of this data.

Camera. On iOS, camera access is requested to scan QR codes; on Android the App uses Google's code scanner and has no camera permission. Images are processed on the device only; they are not saved or sent.

Third parties

Notifications are delivered through Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and, on iOS, the Apple Push Notification service. Their privacy policies apply:

• https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

Notification content is created by the organisation or service that sends it to you. We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.

Retention and deletion

You can leave a subscription in the App at any time; time-limited subscriptions end on their own. You can delete all messages on your device with Settings → Clear history.

Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.
