Effective Date: 09 September 2024

This Privacy Policy describes how Paths ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile application ("App").

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our App.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Firebase Analytics: We use Firebase Analytics to collect data about how you interact with our App. This helps us understand usage patterns and improve the user experience. Firebase Analytics may collect information such as device type, operating system, app version, in-app events, and other interaction data.

1.2 Firebase Crashlytics: We use Firebase Crashlytics to monitor and report app crashes. Crashlytics helps us identify and fix issues within the app. When a crash occurs, Crashlytics collects information about the device and the circumstances leading to the crash, such as the device model, operating system version, and crash logs.

1.3 AdMob: We use AdMob to display ads in our App. AdMob may collect data to personalize ads based on your interests, such as your device identifier, IP address, and app usage data. You can opt out of personalized ads by adjusting your device settings.

1.4 Anonymous User Profile: Our App creates an anonymous user profile for each user, which is used to build a leaderboard. The anonymous profile does not include personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number. Instead, it assigns a unique identifier to track your performance within the App.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To improve the App: Analyze usage data and crash reports to enhance the performance and functionality of the App.
• To display ads: Serve relevant ads through AdMob based on your usage data and preferences.
• To build leaderboards: Track user performance using anonymous profiles to create leaderboards and encourage competition.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties, except in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with third-party service providers who help us operate the App, such as Firebase (for analytics and crash reporting) and AdMob (for ad serving).
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to a valid legal request.
