5. Advertising & Consent

The Service uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. On first launch, the app presents a consent dialog (powered by Google's User Messaging Platform) allowing you to choose whether to receive personalized or non-personalized ads. You may change your preference at any time through your device settings:

6. Push Notifications

If you grant notification permission, the app registers a Firebase Cloud Messaging token with our servers to deliver push notifications (e.g., when your Incident Report is approved or you receive a new comment). You may disable push notifications at any time in your device's notification settings. Revoking permission does not delete your stored FCM token immediately; it will be refreshed or overwritten on your next sign-in.

7. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure located in the United States (us-central1 region). We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

8. Data Retention

We retain your account information and submitted content for as long as your account is active or as needed to operate the Service. Street Talk Posts you delete are soft-deleted and removed from public view immediately; associated comments are also removed. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us (see Section 10). We will fulfill deletion requests within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@donzhit.me. We will respond within 30 days.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date above and, for material changes, notify users within the app. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
