Privacy Policy for MikuShare Last Updated: [24/04/2025] Welcome to MikuShare! This Privacy Policy explains how Cancore ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our mobile application, MikuShare (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect We collect several types of information to provide and improve our Service:
Information You Provide Directly:
Account Information: When you create an account via email, we collect your full name, email address, and password (stored securely using hashing). When you sign up or log in using Google Sign-In, we receive information from Google, such as your name, email address, and potentially your profile picture, based on your Google account permissions.
Profile Information: You may choose to provide additional information for your profile, such as service categories you offer. Your Mikucoin balance is also associated with your profile.
Task Information: When you create a task, we collect the title, description, category, Mikucoins offered, and any files you attach. When you claim or complete a task, information about your actions (claimer ID, submission details, etc.) is recorded.
Communication: If you contact us for support or report an issue, we may collect information related to your query.
Information Collected Automatically:
Usage Information: We collect information about how you interact with the Service, such as tasks viewed, claimed, or completed, features used, and interactions with advertisements.
Device Information: We may collect information about the mobile device you use to access the Service, including hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, IP address, and mobile network information.
Advertising Data: Our advertising partner, Google AdMob, automatically collects information to provide personalized ads. This may include device identifiers (like Advertising ID), IP address, approximate location, and app usage data.
Information from Third Parties:
Google Sign-In: As mentioned, if you use Google Sign-In, we receive authentication information from Google.
2. How We Use Your Information We use the information we collect for various purposes:
To provide, operate, and maintain the Service (e.g., user authentication, displaying tasks, facilitating task exchange, managing Mikucoins).
To improve, personalize, and expand the Service.
To understand and analyze how you use the Service.
To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
To communicate with you, including for customer service, updates, and notifications related to tasks or account activity.
To process transactions (virtually, for Mikucoins).
To show advertisements, including personalized ads (see Section 4).
For compliance purposes, including enforcing our Terms and Conditions, and to prevent fraud or abuse.
To facilitate user reporting and administrative review.
3. How We Share Your Information We may share your information in the following situations:
With Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting (Firebase), authentication (Firebase Authentication), database management (Firestore), file storage (Firebase Storage), and advertising (Google AdMob). These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to protect your data.
Within the Service: Certain information, like your name (or username if implemented) associated with tasks you post or claim, may be visible to other users of the Service as necessary for the task exchange functionality.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
To Protect Rights: We may disclose information where we believe it necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of our Terms and Conditions, or as evidence in litigation.
4. Advertising MikuShare uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Service and other websites and apps over time, including your IP address, device identifiers, apps used, and ads viewed, to provide measurement services and targeted advertisements. You can typically opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your mobile device settings (e.g., for Android, navigate to Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization). Opting out will not stop advertisements from being displayed, but they may be less relevant to your interests. Please refer to Google's advertising policies for more information: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
5. Data Storage and Security We use third-party services like Google Cloud Firebase to store and process your data. While these providers implement industry-standard security measures, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information but cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Data Retention: We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. We may also retain information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Task-related data and attachments may be retained according to our operational needs or legal requirements.
7. Your Data Rights and Choices Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:
Access and Correction: You can usually access and update your basic account information (name, email, service categories) through your profile settings within the app.
Deletion: You can delete your MikuShare account through the app's settings (if implemented) or by contacting us. Deleting your account will remove your profile information from our active databases, subject to our retention policies for backups, logs, and legal requirements.
Advertising Opt-Out: See Section 4 for information on opting out of personalized ads.
For requests related to your data rights, please contact us using the information below.
8. Children's Privacy the Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
9. 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 Privacy Policy within the app or by other means. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when they are posted.
