OpenMotion - Stop Motion ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (OpenMotion).

1. Information Collection and Use

To provide a professional stop-motion production experience, our app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

A. Google Firebase Services

We use Firebase to provide the app's backend and analyze performance:

•Firebase Authentication: Used to manage user accounts and secure access to your projects.

•Cloud Firestore & Firebase Storage: Used to store your project metadata, frames, and exported works.

•Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics: Used to monitor app stability, track crashes, and understand user interaction to improve the studio experience.

B. Advertising (Google AdMob)

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the app. AdMob may use:

•Advertising ID: To show personalized or non-personalized ads.

•Cookies/Tracking Technologies: To measure ad performance and prevent fraudulent activity.

•Note: Users can manage ad personalization through their Android device settings.

2. Device Permissions

For the studio to function correctly, the app requires the following permissions:

•Camera: Essential for capturing frames for stop-motion projects.

•Microphone: Used exclusively for the "Noise Trigger" feature to capture frames via sound.

•Storage (Media/Photos): Necessary to save your captured frames and export final videos to your device.

•Internet Access: Required for Firebase synchronization and loading advertisements.

3. Data Security

We value your trust in providing us your information. We use industry-standard security measures provided by Google Firebase to protect your data. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
