**Last Updated:** June 22, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how **SoulTrack: Couple Journal** ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application (the "App").
### 1. Information Collection and Use
* **Local Storage (Hive Database):** The App stores relationship milestones, journal text, local settings, and images directly on your mobile device. We do not access or transmit your private journal entries to external servers. Your personal love letters, milestones, and diary entries remain completely under your control on your physical device.
* **Authentication Services:** If you choose to use the Google Sign-In or Apple Sign-In features, authentication is processed through Firebase Authentication. This collects basic profile information (such as your email address and display name) solely to authenticate your identity. This authentication is entirely optional.
* **Advertising (Google Mobile Ads / AdMob):** The App integrates the Google Mobile Ads SDK to display ads. Google may collect and use device identifiers or advertising IDs to personalize or measure ad performance.Â
### 2. Device Permissions
To provide its features, the App may request the following permissions:
* **Notifications:** To remind you of upcoming anniversaries or milestone dates.
* **Photo Library / Camera:** To allow you to select and upload photos for your shared journals or profiles (stored locally on your device).
* **Internet Access:** Required for displaying ads (Google Mobile Ads) and executing authentication (Firebase Auth).
### 3. Third-Party Services
We use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you:
* **Google Play Services**
* **AdMob (Google Mobile Ads)** (Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy)
* **Firebase Authentication** (Privacy Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy)
### 4. Children's Privacy
These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
### 5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
