1. What data we collect:

• Authentication: We use Firebase Authentication with Google login. The only stored identifier is the hashed user email, never the plain text email.
• Search history: We store text search history associated with (rounded) location data for usability purposes.
• Technical monitoring: We use Firebase Crashlytics and Google Analytics exclusively for error tracking and app performance monitoring.

2. How we use the data:

• To show relevant places based on user location and search preferences
• To generate intelligent summaries of reviews and weather using the Gemini API
• To ensure a personalized and functional experience
• To identify and fix technical issues with monitoring tools

3. Data sharing

We never sell your data. We use APIs from Google Maps, Google Places, OpenWeatherMap, and Gemini to display and generate content based on real data. These tools may collect data according to their respective privacy policies.

4. Data deletion

When you delete your account, all associated data (including search and location history) is permanently removed. The email hash is retained only to prevent fraud. You can delete your account at any time via the "About" screen in the app menu.

5. Your rights

• You may request deletion of your account and data at any time.
• Your data is not shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

6. Security and encryption

All information is stored on secure servers using encryption and security best practices provided by Google and Heroku.

7. Data collection only during active use

Vaionde accesses your location only while the app is open and in use — never in the background.

8. Internal use of data

Usage, location, and search data are used exclusively to improve Vaionde features. This data is never shared or sold to third parties.

9. No commercial tracking

Vaionde does not use advertising, tracking cookies, or third-party SDKs for marketing or remarketing purposes.

10. Data anonymization

User emails are converted into irreversible cryptographic hashes, used solely to prevent fraud and duplicate accounts.

11. Data retention

All data is retained only while the account is active. Once the account is deleted, data is immediately erased, except for the anonymized email hash.

To ensure system stability and service sustainability, Vaionde may apply daily usage quotas or limit access to certain features, especially those that rely on artificial intelligence or third-party APIs. These limits are intended to prevent abuse and maintain proper functionality for all users.
