1) Scope & Who We Are

3) How We Use Your Information (Purposes)

We use your information to:

• Provide and operate the App and Site.
• Communicate with you (e.g., respond to queries, send service notices).
• Analytics & improvement: measure usage and performance (via Firebase Analytics) to improve features and stability.
• Advertising: show ads using Google's ad platforms (e.g., Google AdMob/Google Ads). Depending on your settings and permissions, ads may be personalized.
• Security & fraud prevention, troubleshooting, and to enforce our terms.
• Legal compliance, including responding to lawful requests.

Where required by law (e.g., in certain regions), we rely on your consent for analytics and personalized advertising. Otherwise, we rely on legitimate interests (to run and improve our Services) and/or performance of a contract (to provide the Services you request).

4) Advertising & Analytics Disclosures

Google Ads (AdMob/Ad Manager/Google Marketing Platform)

The App integrates Google's mobile ads SDKs that may process device identifiers, coarse location, and engagement data to serve and measure ads. You can:

• Android: reset or limit the Advertising ID in Settings > Google > Ads (or Privacy on newer versions).
• iOS: control tracking permissions under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking; you may also reset your IDFA.

If we request iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission, it is solely to provide more relevant ads and measure ad performance. You can deny or withdraw permission at any time in iOS settings.

Firebase Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to understand App usage. Firebase provides aggregated reports and may process device identifiers. Where required, we obtain consent before enabling analytics. You can request that we disable analytics collection for your device (see Your Rights & Choices below).

We do not sell personal data.

5) When We Share Your Information

We share information only as described below:

• Service Providers / Processors: e.g., Google LLC (Firebase/Ads), hosting, email/SMS providers, customer support tools—all bound by contractual confidentiality and data‑protection obligations.

• Business Transfers: in connection with merger, sale, financing, or acquisition of all/part of our business, subject to this Policy's protections.

We do not permit third parties to collect information through the App for their own independent marketing unless we have your consent where required.

6) Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, and then delete or anonymize it. Typical periods:

• Identity & Contact Data: while you actively use the Services and up to 36 months after last interaction (or earlier upon verified deletion request).
