In addition to our website, RiverScene Magazine offers a mobile application for iPhone and other supported devices. This Privacy Policy applies to both the RiverScene Magazine website and mobile application.

The mobile application may collect certain information necessary to provide app functionality, personalize your experience, improve performance, and maintain the security of our services.

Some features of the RiverScene Magazine mobile application may require you to create an account or sign in.

When you choose to create an account, we may collect information including your name, email address, profile photo, and any additional information you voluntarily provide. This information is used to authenticate your account, personalize your experience, and provide access to features available within the application.

You may update or modify your account information at any time through your account settings.

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

With your permission, RiverScene Magazine may send push notifications to your mobile device. These notifications may include breaking news, local events, community updates, reminders, announcements, or other information related to RiverScene Magazine.

Push notifications are entirely optional. You may enable or disable notifications at any time through your device’s notification settings.

To deliver notifications, the application stores a device notification token provided by Apple or Google. This token is used solely to deliver notifications requested through the RiverScene Magazine application.

DEVICE INFORMATION

When you use the RiverScene Magazine mobile application, we may automatically collect limited technical information including:

• Device type
• Operating system version
• Application version
• Device notification token
• Diagnostic and crash information

This information is used to improve application reliability, troubleshoot technical issues, and enhance the user experience. It is not used to personally identify you unless required for account-related functionality.

PROFILE PHOTOS

If you choose to upload a profile photo, the image is securely stored and associated with your account. Profile photos are used only within RiverScene Magazine to personalize your experience and may be visible to you while using the application.

You may change or remove your profile photo at any time.

PERMISSIONS

The RiverScene Magazine mobile application may request permission to access certain features of your device. These permissions are requested only when needed to provide a specific feature.

Depending on the features you use, permissions may include:

• Notifications – to receive breaking news, event reminders, and community updates.

• Camera – if enabled in a future version of the application, to allow you to capture and upload a profile photo.

You may revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings.

These services may include:

• Apple App Store

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (push notifications)
• Secure cloud hosting providers
• Analytics and diagnostic services used to improve application performance

These providers are authorized to use information only as necessary to provide their respective services.

DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information collected through the RiverScene Magazine website and mobile application. While no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, we continually work to protect your information using industry-standard security practices.

You may:

• Update your account information.

I think this is a solid fit for RiverScene 4.0. It accurately reflects the features you’ve built—accounts, profile photos, and push notifications—without overstating what the app collects. It should also satisfy the disclosures Apple typically expects to see when reviewing a modern news application.
