BirdGlobe ("we", "our", or "the app") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the BirdGlobe mobile application.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
BirdGlobe does not require users to create an account or provide personal information to use the main features of the app.
The app may store certain settings and preferences locally on your device, such as:
Dark mode preference
Sound settings
Favorite birds
Quiz and puzzle progress or settings
This information is used to provide and maintain app functionality.
2. BIRD INFORMATION AND MAP DATA
BirdGlobe provides bird information, images, articles, geographic coordinates, map data, and bird observation information for educational and informational purposes.
Map data and bird records may be obtained or compiled from external sources. Geographic coordinates and observation dates are used to display bird records and help users understand where and when a bird species has been recorded.
The geographic coordinates shown in the Map section are related to bird records and are not the user's location.
BirdGlobe does not continuously track or monitor the user's location.
BirdGlobe does not provide live bird tracking. Map records may represent observations from different dates or years and should not be considered the current or real-time location of an individual bird.
3. ADVERTISING
BirdGlobe uses Google AdMob to display advertisements, including banner, native, and rewarded advertisements.
AdMob may collect and process certain information, such as device information, advertising identifiers, and usage information, in accordance with Google's applicable policies.

4. INTERNET AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Some features of BirdGlobe require an internet connection.
The Map section requires an internet connection to load its bird map data and related content.
BirdGlobe may communicate with third-party services to provide advertisements, map data, bird records, and other online app services.
Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
BirdGlobe is working on improved offline support to make more bird information and related content available without an internet connection in future app versions.
5. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
BirdGlobe does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
The app does not require users to create an account or submit personal information to use its main features.
6. DATA SECURITY
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the app.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. DATA RETENTION
Settings and preferences stored locally by BirdGlobe remain on the user's device until they are changed, cleared through device settings, or removed when the app is uninstalled.
Information processed by third-party services is handled according to the respective service's policies.
8. YOUR CHOICES
You can control available app permissions through your device settings.
You can also change available preferences, such as dark mode and sound settings, within the BirdGlobe app.
You may stop using BirdGlobe or uninstall the app at any time.
