1. Information We Collect

• Account Information: Full name, email address, and phone number collected via Firebase Authentication.
• Location Data: Precise location data (GPS) collected to provide real-time proximity alerts, even when the app is in the background.
• User-Generated Content: Descriptions, street names, and timestamps of hazards or reports you submit.
• Chat Messages: Temporarily stored and automatically deleted from our servers 24 hours after being sent.
• Device Information: Device identifiers and usage data to improve app performance and analyze traffic.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Core Functionality: To display reports and track user activity levels.
• Proximity Alerts: To trigger local notifications based on your proximity to reported hazards.
• Personalization: To display your identity on content you contribute to the community.

3. Data Storage and Security

4. Third-Party Services

• Google Play Services & Firebase: Used for analytics, app performance, and infrastructure. See Google Privacy Policy.

6. Safety and Community Standards

Reports are community-generated. The App is not a replacement for emergency services. In a life-threatening situation, always contact local law enforcement first.

7. Data Deletion

Users may delete individual reports and profile directly via the "Profile" screen. To request the permanent deletion of your entire account, profile, and all associated activity logs, please email: info@dangerwarningapp.com. We will process these requests within 30 days.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the App signifies your acceptance of any updates.
