### Overview
Nickmap is a collaborative entertainment map. You can rename places with nicknames. The app works **without creating a traditional account** (no email/password signup).
### Data we process
1. **Anonymous account ID** — Firebase Anonymous Authentication creates a random user ID so likes, reports, and write limits can work across sessions on the same install.
2. **User-generated content** — nicknames you stamp, restore actions, likes, and reports (category + optional context).
3. **Technical / diagnostics** — basic operational logs needed to run Firebase/Firestore and fix outages (and crash diagnostics if enabled in a given build).
4. **Device preferences** — language/country choices stored locally on your device.
We do **not** require your name, email, phone number, or payment details to use Nickmap.
### Location
The iOS build includes a location purpose string because the map SDK may reference location APIs. Core map browsing and renaming do **not** require you to share GPS location. If a future feature uses location, we will only use it while the app is in use and as described at that time.
### Why we process data
- Provide the shared map and nickname history
- Enforce rate limits and basic abuse prevention
- Handle reports and moderation
- Improve reliability and fix bugs
### Sharing
We use infrastructure providers such as **Google Firebase / Google Cloud** to host authentication and database services. They process data on our behalf under their terms. We do not sell your personal information.
### Retention
Nicknames and history remain on the shared map so the collaborative experience continues. You can clear **this device’s local cache, likes, and anonymous account** via **Settings → Delete my data**. Names already posted on the shared map may remain until removed through moderation or our cleanup processes.
### Children
Nickmap is not directed at children under 13. Do not use the app if you are under the minimum age required in your country. User-generated nicknames must not include sexual content involving minors.
### Your choices
- Report nicknames in the app
- Delete local/anonymous data from Settings
- Contact us at mazellangames@gmail.com for privacy questions or deletion requests related to identifiers we can reasonably locate
### International transfers
Data may be processed in the United States or other countries where our providers operate.
### Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy where permitted by law.
