9. Mobile Application Data

Our Android mobile application uses Google Firebase services to operate reliably. These are the only additional data practices specific to the app:

9.1. Crash Reporting (Firebase Crashlytics)

We use Firebase Crashlytics to record crashes and stability issues. When the app crashes, we collect:

  • Anonymized crash stack traces (including native code symbols).
  • Device model, operating system version, and app version.
  • A randomly generated installation identifier, not linked to your name.

This data is used solely to diagnose and fix problems. It is not used for advertising and is not sold or shared with third parties.

9.2. Push Notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging)

With your permission, the app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to send subscription reminders and account-related notifications. To do this we store a device-specific messaging token associated with your account. You can disable notifications at any time in your device or app settings, after which the token is no longer used.

9.3. Data Processing & Retention

Firebase processes this data on our behalf as a data processor. Crash and diagnostic data is retained for up to 90 days. For more information, see Firebase's Privacy and Security documentation and Google's Privacy Policy.
