📜 Felief Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Felief ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you use the Felief mobile application ("App").

Effective Date: 25 August, 2025 • Last Updated: 25 August, 2025

By using Felief, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. What We Collect

We are committed to collecting the minimum data necessary to offer a secure and meaningful experience.

a. Personal Information:

Google Account Email: When you log in with Google, we collect your email address for authentication and account association. We do not collect your full name, profile picture, contacts, or other personal info.

b. User-Generated Content:

• Diary Entries: Entries you write are stored anonymously and associated only with your encrypted user ID.

• Reactions: If you react to other users' entries, only the entry author can see that someone reacted — not who.

• Tags: Emotion tags selected on entries help categorize your content for anonymous browsing.

• Audio Entries: If you upload audio recordings, we collect the file, duration, title, tags, and related metadata (e.g., upload time).

• Whispers: When you send or receive a Whisper, we collect the content, sender and receiver IDs, the related entry ID, and timestamps.

c. Notifications:

• We use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications to your device.

• For this, we collect and store a unique device token linked to your account.

d. Device Information:

We may collect basic device information (OS version, app version, crash reports) to improve performance and debug issues.

2. How We Use Information

We use your data to:

• Authenticate your account securely via Google

• Allow you to create, view, and manage diary entries

• Display entries, whispers, reactions and tags in a non-identifiable way

• Improve app performance and stability

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data.

3. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with advertisers or third parties.

We may use third-party service providers for:

• Cloud hosting (e.g., Google Cloud, AWS)

• Analytics (anonymous and aggregate, optional)

• Authentication (Google Sign-In)

All third-party partners comply with industry-standard security and privacy obligations.

4. Data Retention

• Your entries are retained until you delete them or delete your account.

• When you delete your account, all entries and reactions are deleted or anonymized.

• Reactions are stored privately and visible only to the entry author.

5. Children's Privacy

Felief is not intended for children under the age of 13. If we learn we have collected data from a child without parental consent, we will delete it.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your region, you may have rights to:

• Access the data we hold about you

• Request deletion of your account and associated data

• Request correction of incorrect data

To make a request, contact us at: felief.app@gmail.com

7. Security

We use secure databases to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure, so please use the app responsibly.
