Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how our application, Readavu ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects your information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our services for you. The types of information we collect depend on how you use our app.

Information You Provide Directly:

When you create an account, we collect the following information:

• Firebase Authentication: If you sign up with an email and password, we collect your email address. If you use a social login service like Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple, we collect a unique identifier and any information you consent to share from that service (such as your name or email). This information is managed by Firebase Authentication and stored securely on Google's servers. We use this data to create and manage your user account.
• In-App Purchases: When you make a purchase, the in_app_purchase package processes the transaction. We collect information about your purchase, such as the item purchased, transaction ID, and the date and time of the transaction. We do not collect or store your payment details, as this information is handled securely by the respective app store (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play Store).

Information We Collect Automatically:

As you use our app, we collect data to provide personalized experiences. This includes:

• User-Specific Data: We collect information about your interactions with the app, such as the books you have purchased and your genre preferences. This data is stored in Firestore, a database service provided by Google.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Provide and Manage Services: We use your account information to authenticate you and manage your access to the app. Your purchase history is used to track your ownership of digital content.
• To Personalize Your Experience: We use data about your purchased books and genre preferences to provide you with personalized recommendations and tailor the app's content to your interests.
• To Improve Our Services: We analyze usage data to understand how our app is used and identify areas for improvement.

3. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to support our app's functionality. These services may have access to your information to perform their functions, but they are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

• Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple: When you use these services to create an account, your data is handled by them according to their respective privacy policies.
• Firebase & Firestore: Our app uses these services, provided by Google, for user authentication and data storage. Data stored on these services is subject to Google’s privacy policy.

4. Data Security

We are committed to protecting your data. We use industry-standard security measures, including encryption and access controls, to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy within the app.
