**Last Updated: September 6, 2026**

Welcome to **SmyE**! We highly value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains transparently what data we collect, how we process it through our secure cloud infrastructure, and what your rights are.

### 📥 1. Data We Collect

We collect only the information strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the application and its social features:

*   **Account Information:** Your email address and unique identifiers securely provided by **Firebase Authentication**.

*   **Profile Information:** Your username, your biography (Description), and your profile picture (Avatar) if you choose to add one.

*   **Shared Content:** Posts (titles, descriptions), comments, Likes, as well as the photos and videos you upload.

*   **Geolocation Data (GPS):** With your explicit consent, we collect your device's latitude and longitude to calculate the distance between your position and establishments, and to provide you with the "Near Me" feed.

*   **Technical Identifiers:** Your smartphone model (e.g., Samsung A12) and your **Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)** token, which is indispensable for delivering real-time push notifications.

---

### ⚙️ 2. How Your Data is Stored and Processed

All your data is processed within a modern and highly secure cloud infrastructure:

*   **Database (D1):** Your profile information, post texts, likes, comments, reports, and statistical counters are stored in an encrypted SQL database provided by **Cloudflare D1**.

*   **File Storage (R2):** Your photos, videos, and user avatars are stored in an isolated and secure **Cloudflare R2** bucket.

*   **Notifications (FCM):** Your device token is used exclusively through Google's official secure API to send you an alert when another member likes or comments on your content.

We **never sell or rent** your personal data to third-party companies or advertising networks.

### 🛑 3. Moderation and Reporting

To guarantee a safe and respectful environment, the application includes a reporting system.

If you report a post, your user identifier, the chosen reason, and your explanatory comment are transmitted to our moderation team via a secure database table. Content deemed inappropriate or illegal is immediately removed in cascade from our servers.

### 🗑️ 4. Control of Your Data and Permanent Deletion

We believe in full user control over their own data. As such, you have an absolute right to erasure:

*   **Integrated Account Deletion:** You can request the permanent deletion of your account at any time from the application settings (Path: **Edit My Profile => Delete My Account Permanently**).

*   **Instant and Total Erasure:** As soon as you validate the deletion, our server executes a parallel algorithm that physically destroys your avatar and all your photos/videos from **Cloudflare R2** storage, then deletes your user row from **Cloudflare D1**, which instantly and automatically wipes out all your posts, likes, comments, follows, and notifications.

---

### 🔒 5. Data Security

We implement all required technical measures (Firebase Bearer JWT token authentication, end-to-end HTTPS encrypted connections, and masking of server secrets via Cloudflare Wrangler) to protect your data against unauthorized access, modification, or destruction.
