Build Buddy ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
Because Build Buddy uses Firebase Authentication (a service provided by Google) to manage user accounts, we collect the following personal data:
Account Information: Depending on how you sign in, this may include your email address, name, or phone number.
Service Metadata: When you authenticate, Firebase automatically collects certain information for security and diagnostic purposes, including IP addresses, User-Agent strings, and device identifiers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information strictly for the following purposes:
Authentication: To allow you to create an account, sign in, and secure your data.
Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect and prevent unauthorized access, abuse, or fraudulent activity within the app.
App Functionality: To associate your project data within Build Buddy with your specific user account.
3. Third-Party Service Providers
We use Google Firebase to provide authentication services. Google acts as a data processor for this information.
Data Storage: Your authentication data is stored on secure Google servers.
Privacy Practices: You can learn more about how Google handles this data by visiting the Google Privacy & Terms page.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
Retention: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active.
Deletion: You have the right to delete your account at any time. When you delete your account via the app settings, your authentication data is flagged for deletion from Firebase systems and will be fully removed in accordance with Google's standard data deletion timelines (typically within 180 days).
5. Your Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in Europe or CCPA in California), you may have the right to:
Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request the correction or deletion of your data.
Object to the processing of your data.
