1Who we are

Cherrygram is a free, non-commercial app developed independently on a voluntary basis. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Telegram. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “the developer” refer to the developer of Cherrygram, and “you” refers to the person using the app.

2Your Telegram account and messages

Cherrygram works through the official Telegram API. Your phone number, profile, messages, media, calls, contacts, two-step verification email and all other account data are exchanged directly between the app on your device and Telegram's servers.

The developer of Cherrygram does not collect, receive, store or have access to this data and does not know who you talk to or what you send.

How Telegram processes your data is governed by the Telegram Privacy Policy and the Telegram Terms of Service, which also apply to you when you use Cherrygram.

Secret chats

Secret chats use Telegram's end-to-end encryption. Their contents can only be read on the devices of the participants.

3Data stored on your device

Cherrygram keeps some data locally, for example:

• app settings and settings backups you export;
• media and other caches.

This data never leaves your device through Cherrygram and is not sent to the developer. It is removed when you clear the app's data or uninstall it. Backup files you export are fully under your control.

4Permissions

Cherrygram asks for permissions (contacts, location, camera, microphone, notifications and so on) only when a feature needs them. Contacts and locations you choose to share are sent to Telegram, not to the developer. You can revoke permissions at any time in your Android settings, and stop contact syncing in Settings → Privacy and Security → Data Settings.

5Service requests

To keep the app working, Cherrygram may download service files (for example, update information or configuration) from resources maintained by the developer, such as public code hosting. These requests do not include your account data; any checks based on them are performed on your device. As with any internet request, the hosting provider can see your IP address.

As part of this, the app may check, on your device, whether your Telegram account appears on a list the developer maintains for abuse prevention (for example, accounts that violated the app's terms). If it does, the app may clear Cherrygram's local data on your device and log you out, ending your access to Cherrygram (see Section 8). This does not delete, lock or otherwise affect your Telegram account itself — you can keep using Telegram through the official app or other clients, just not through Cherrygram.

6Advertising (AdsGram)

Cherrygram may show ads provided by AdsGram. To select and display an ad, AdsGram receives:

Telegram account

Your Telegram ID, app language and Telegram Premium status

Network

Your IP address, used to show ads relevant to your country or city

Device

Device model and Android version

Screen

Viewport size in pixels and current screen brightness

Battery

Battery level and charging state

AdsGram uses this data for ad targeting, protection against bots and correct rendering of banners. Your IP address reaches AdsGram's servers directly from your device whenever an ad is loaded. The developer does not receive or store any of this data. AdsGram's own privacy terms apply to its processing.

7Third-party services and donations

The app may contain links to third-party services, for example to buy Telegram Stars or Telegram Premium, or to support the project. These services are run by independent providers that the developer does not control or endorse.

• Any transaction with them is made at your own risk and under their terms.
• Questions about such purchases should be addressed to the respective provider.
• Donations to Cherrygram are governed by the separate Donation Terms.

8Using Cherrygram

Cherrygram is provided free of charge, “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. Features may change, stop working or be removed, including as a result of changes on Telegram's side.

The developer reserves the right, at their sole discretion and without giving reasons, to restrict or end any user's access to Cherrygram or to some of its features.

This only affects Cherrygram. Your Telegram account and your data are not affected, and you can keep using Telegram through the official apps or other clients.

To the extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from the use of, or inability to use, the app.

9Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last changed. By continuing to use Cherrygram after an update, you accept the updated version.
