3. How We Use Your Information
To provide the core functionality of the "Social Radar" feed.
To facilitate connections and chat between users.
To send notifications via Firebase and verify identity via Supabase.
To maintain the "Friendly Points" gamification system.
4. Third-Party Services We use trusted third-party services to operate our app:
Supabase: For database, authentication, and backend services.
Firebase (Google): For push notifications and analytics.
Google Maps Platform: For location services (if applicable).
5. Data Retention We retain your data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
6. Request Account Deletion You have the right to request the deletion of your account and all associated data at any time.
