Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE — fill in before publishing]

This Privacy Policy explains what information the Toy Hub mobile application ("the App") collects, how it's used, and your choices.

1. Information you provide

• Account information: phone number or email address, and a nickname/avatar you choose when you register.
• Content: posts, photos, and comments you choose to share.
• Collection data: which items you mark as owned or wanted.

2. Information collected automatically

We use Firebase (a Google service) for:

• Firebase Analytics — app usage events (e.g. which screens you visit, how you navigate the app) to understand how the App is used.
• Firebase Crashlytics — crash and error reports, so we can find and fix bugs.
• Firebase Performance Monitoring — app performance data (load times, network request timing).

These are standard mobile analytics/diagnostics tools; they don't include the content of your posts. See Firebase's own privacy documentation for details on how Google processes this data.

3. How we use your information

To operate the App's core features: showing your posts to other users, letting you browse and mark collection items, sending you verification codes, and fixing bugs/improving the App based on crash and usage data.

4. What other users can see

Your nickname, avatar, and posts are visible to other users by default. Your owned/wanted collection lists are only visible to others if you turn on that visibility yourself in your profile settings — off by default.

5. Data retention and deletion

You can delete your account at any time from within the App, which removes your account and profile information. Some data may be retained where required for legal or fraud-prevention purposes.

6. Data sharing

We don't sell your personal information. We share data with:

• Google/Firebase, as described in section 2, for analytics/crash reporting/performance
• Law enforcement or regulators, only if legally required

We don't use third-party advertising networks in the App.

7. Children's privacy

The App isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
