Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 10, 2025
PlatePursuit (“we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Authentication Data
- Email address (and display name, if you sign in with Google) • Collected and stored by Firebase Authentication • Used only to create and manage your PlatePursuit account
1.2 Usage Data (Optional)
- Aggregate, non-identifying analytics (e.g. page views, errors) • Used solely to improve app stability and user experience • Does not include personal identifiers
2. How We Use Your Information
- Account creation & login: We use your email only to verify your identity and let you access your trips.
- In-app functionality: We never use your personal info for marketing, advertising, or profiling.
- Analytics: If enabled, we only collect anonymous usage metrics; no email or name is attached.
3. Data Sharing & Disclosure
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
- We do not share your email with any third parties, except:
- Google (when you choose Google Sign-In) — strictly for authentication.
- Firebase Services — for secure storage of your authentication credentials.
4. Data Security
- All authentication data is stored in Firebase Authentication, which uses industry-standard encryption both in transit (TLS) and at rest.
- We employ appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
5. Third-Party Services
PlatePursuit relies on the following trusted services:
- Firebase Authentication & Firestore (Google Cloud)
- Google Sign-In (if you opt in)
These services have their own privacy policies, but they are used only to authenticate you and store the minimal required account metadata.
6. Children’s Privacy
PlatePursuit is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
