The app may request access to your device camera in order to scan QR codes inside partner shops.
This feature is used only for validating discounts and scan actions.

QR codes are processed in real time only.
This functionality is implemented through the QR scanner view controller in the app.

Operating hours
This data is stored in Firebase Firestore and is used only to display available shops and discounts to users.

This helps us improve the user experience.
Firebase services such as Analytics and Messaging may be initialized in the app configuration.
