Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

Introduction

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our application (“the App”). We are committed to minimizing data collection and using information only as necessary to provide core functionality.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information required for account access and device synchronization.

Information You Provide

  • Email address (used solely for account authentication and account recovery)
  • Authentication credentials (securely managed through Firebase Authentication)

We do not collect:

  • Names, phone numbers, or physical addresses
  • Location data
  • Contacts or photos
  • Payment or financial information
  • Advertising or behavioral tracking data

Automatically Collected Information

  • A unique user ID generated by Firebase
  • Device and app-related technical information (such as device type or operating system version), used only to ensure proper app functionality and synchronization

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used exclusively to:

  • Authenticate users securely via Firebase
  • Enable synchronization of app data across multiple devices
  • Maintain app functionality and reliability
  • Prevent unauthorized access and abuse

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

We use Firebase (Google LLC) for authentication and secure data storage. Firebase processes data on our behalf and is contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only to provide its services.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third parties.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

  • Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Secure authentication via Firebase
  • Restricted internal access to user information

While no system can be 100% secure, we take reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard your data.

Data Retention

Your data is retained only as long as necessary to provide the app’s functionality.

If you delete your account, associated authentication data and synced content are deleted or anonymized within a reasonable timeframe.

Children’s Privacy

The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verified parental consent, in accordance with applicable laws such as COPPA.
