International Data Transfers
If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure adequate protection through European Commission-approved standard contractual clauses or other legally compliant mechanisms.
As Firebase services (including Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics) are operated by Google LLC, data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions. These transfers are safeguarded by standard contractual clauses (SCC) approved by the European Commission or other appropriate safeguards, where applicable.

Data is retained for no longer than necessary for the purposes outlined or as required by law:
- Contact Data: Retained until account deletion or consent withdrawal
- Location Data: Retained only for the duration required to provide related services
- Technical Data: Retained for security and performance purposes for a reasonable period
- Usage Data: Retained for service improvement analysis until user requests deletion
- Firebase Analytics Data: Retained according to default retention settings of Firebase (currently up to 2 months), unless the user requests earlier deletion.
- Firebase Crashlytics Data: Crash reports and related technical diagnostics data are typically retained by Google for up to 90 days, unless we are required by law to retain them longer. We do not retain Firebase Crashlytics data on our own systems longer than necessary to analyze and resolve stability issues.

We use cookies to enhance user experience. Cookies may be functional, analytical, or essential. Consent is required for non-essential cookies.
- Essential Cookies: Required for basic Application functionality

- Mobile SDK Tracking: In addition to cookies, we use third-party SDKs (such as Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics) to collect technical, analytical and behavioral data in the mobile Application. Firebase Crashlytics is used specifically for collecting crash and diagnostics data in order to identify and fix errors and improve stability.
-
Firebase Crashlytics: We use Firebase Crashlytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to monitor the stability of the Application and diagnose errors. Crashlytics automatically collects certain technical data when the Application encounters a crash or serious error, including:
- App version and build;
- Operating system version and device model;
- Timestamp of the crash and device state (e.g., memory usage);
- Technical logs and crash details (error type and stack trace);
- A randomly generated installation identifier (Crashlytics Install ID).
This data is used exclusively for detecting, analyzing and fixing crashes and improving the performance and reliability of the Application. We do not use Crashlytics data for marketing or advertising purposes, and we do not attempt to directly identify individual users based on this data.

- Right to Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or marketing
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent at any time
- Right to Opt-Out of Analytics: Users may disable Firebase Analytics collection through Application settings (if available) or by adjusting advertising and privacy settings on their device (such as limiting ad tracking on iOS or Android).

While diagnostics collection via Firebase Crashlytics is necessary to ensure the security and stability of the Application and cannot always be fully disabled through in-app settings, you may contact us at any time to request access to, deletion of, or restriction of processing of diagnostics data associated with your device where technically feasible.
