Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 15, 2024
At Harderue – Games & Apps, I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use my mobile application Your Food – No Waste Inventory and visit my website. By using my app or website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information I Collect
I collect certain types of information to provide better services to users. The information I may collect includes:
- Email Address: When you choose to save your inventory in Firebase, I collect and store your email address. This is required to help you manage your inventory, recover it if needed, or share it with another user. I do not use your email for anything else.
- Firebase Authentication: I use Firebase for user authentication and data storage. Firebase may collect certain information related to your authentication method, such as your email address, but no sensitive information such as passwords is stored by me. For more details, please consult Firebase’s Privacy Policy.
- Device Information and Log Data: Certain non-personal information, such as your device type, operating system version, and IP address, may be collected automatically by Unity (the platform on which my app is built). Unity collects this data to ensure optimal performance of the app. For more details, please consult Unity’s Privacy Policy.
2. How I Use Collected Information
I use the information I collect for the following purposes:
- Inventory Management: Your email address is used to allow you to save your inventory data in the cloud (via Firebase), recover it in case of loss, and share it with others if you choose to.
- App Performance: Non-personal device information collected by Unity is used to ensure the app functions properly on your device.
- User Support: If you contact me for support, I may use your email to respond to your inquiry.
3. Third-Party Services
I rely on certain third-party services to run Your Food – No Waste Inventory and my website. These services may collect certain non-personal information as described below:
Firebase: Firebase is used for user authentication and inventory data storage. Firebase securely manages the email addresses of users who opt to save their inventory. You can review Firebase’s privacy practices here.
Unity: As mentioned above, Unity, the game engine used to build the app, may collect basic device information to improve the performance of the application and ensure compatibility across different devices. You can review Unity’s privacy practices here.
Google Play & Apple App Store: These platforms handle all in-app purchases. I do not collect, process, or store your payment information. Please review their privacy policies for more details on how your financial information is handled.
WordPress and Plugins: My website is built using WordPress, and I use plugins to enhance its functionality. These plugins may collect anonymized data related to your visit to ensure proper website functionality and to improve user experience.
4. Data Security
I take your privacy and the security of your data seriously. I use Firebase to securely store your email address and inventory data. While I implement reasonable security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet is entirely secure. I cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information.
5. Data Retention
I retain your email address and associated inventory data for as long as you use Your Food – No Waste Inventory. If you decide to delete your account or stop using the app, you can request the deletion of your email and inventory data at any time by contacting me directly here.
6. Children’s Privacy
My services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If I become aware that I have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, I will take steps to delete such information.
7. Your Data Rights
You have the right to:
- Access and Update: Request access to or update any personal information I may hold (e.g., your email address).
- Deletion: Request that I delete any personal information (such as your email) and inventory data stored.
- Withdraw Consent: If you previously provided consent for me to collect or use your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact me here. I will respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 days.
