 Effective Date: November 8, 2025

1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Eco Challenge Tracker (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application (“App”). By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your data is handled.
2. Information We Collect
a. Personal Information (Optional)
We only collect limited personal information when you choose to provide it, such as:
  • Name or nickname (for profile or leaderboard display)
  • Email address (if you sign in via Google or Apple)
You can use the app as a guest without providing personal details.
b. Non-Personal Information
We collect anonymous analytics data to improve the app experience:
  • App version, device type, OS version
  • Usage statistics (e.g., challenge joined, log count, screen time)
  • Crash reports and performance data
This data is aggregated and cannot identify individual users.
c. User-Generated Data
You may record eco actions, challenges, and notes. These remain private to your account unless you choose to share via team/leaderboard features.
d. Optional Permissions
  • Notifications: To remind you about challenges or streaks.
  • Camera/Photos: Only if you upload images as proof of an action (stored locally or in your private cloud data).
  • Location (Optional): Used only if you enable it to estimate eco impact for transport activities (e.g., biking vs. driving).
    No location data is collected or stored by default.
3. How We Use Information
We use the collected information to:
  • Operate and improve the App’s core functions
  • Calculate your eco impact and progress
  • Maintain your streaks, badges, and leaderboard positions
  • Send optional notifications and reminders
  • Analyze usage trends to enhance the experience
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing.
4. Data Storage and Security
  • Data is securely stored on encrypted cloud servers or locally on your device.
  • We follow industry-standard security practices (encryption, secure connections).
  • In case of third-party integrations (e.g., Google Sign-In), their privacy policies apply.
5. Data Retention
Your data is retained as long as your account is active.
If you delete your account or uninstall the app, all personal data and eco logs are permanently removed.
6. Third-Party Services
We may use trusted third-party services (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Google Play Services) to ensure app functionality.
These services may collect anonymous identifiers as per their own privacy policies.
