This Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of Your information when You use the **FlowBoard: Project Planner** (the "App").

This policy applies to the application "FlowBoard: Project Planner," developed and published by **[Your Name / Your Company Name]** (referred to as "the Developer," "we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner.

1. Data Controller

The developer, **[Your Name / Your Company Name]**, is the data controller for the information collected through the FlowBoard app.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the App depends on the content and materials you use, and includes:

Personal Data

While using our App, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. This includes:

• Account Information: When you register for an account in FlowBoard, we collect your email address, username, and a hashed version of your password.
• User-Generated Content: We store the data you create within the app, such as task boards, tasks, statuses, comments, and invitations you send and receive.

Usage Data & Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to collect information about your engagement with the App, such as the features you use, actions you take, and session duration. This data is aggregated and anonymized and helps us to improve our service.

Crash and Performance Data

We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports and performance data. This helps us identify and fix bugs and improve the App's stability. The data collected includes device state information, unique device identifiers, and the location of the crash within the App's code.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your account.
• To provide and maintain the core functionality of the App, including data synchronization across your devices.
• To improve the App, personalize your experience, and develop new features.
• To monitor and analyze usage and trends to enhance security and performance.
• To diagnose and fix technical problems and bugs.
• To serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements to support the App.

4. Advertising and Tracking

Our app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. To comply with data privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to gather consent for collecting, sharing, and using personal data for personalized ads. Depending on your location and consent choices, Google and its partners may collect and process data. You can manage your consent choices at any time within the App's settings.

For users on iOS 14.5 and newer, we are required to ask for your permission through the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies. Tracking refers to the use of the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). If you grant permission, we may use the IDFA to provide you with more relevant, personalized ads. If you deny permission, we will not use the IDFA, and any ads you see may be less relevant.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on Google Cloud Firestore. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, please be aware that no electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. You may request the deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at the email address provided below. Upon receiving a deletion request, we will permanently remove your personal information from our production systems.
