מקלט — Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

The app gathers location data while in use (never stored server-side), authentication details from Apple/Google sign-in, user-submitted shelter information shared publicly, and verification votes tied to user IDs to prevent duplicates.

Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not track your movements or store location history.
• We do not sell or share personal data with third parties.
• We do not display advertisements.
• We do not use analytics or tracking SDKs.

How We Use Your Information

Data serves core functionality: displaying nearby shelters, account authentication, attributing contributions to verified users, and preventing abuse through duplicate vote restrictions.

Data Storage and Security

Information resides on Supabase (AWS-hosted) with row-level security restrictions. Authentication tokens use device-level secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore), and HTTPS encryption protects all communications.

Third-Party Services

The app integrates Mapbox for mapping, Supabase for backend infrastructure, and Apple/Google for authentication — each subject to their respective privacy policies.

Data Retention & Deletion

Account data persists while active; shelter contributions remain indefinitely for community continuity. Users may request account deletion and data anonymization within 30 days by contacting jeremiequenet@me.com.

Children's Privacy

The service targets users aged 13 and above.

Policy Changes

Policy updates appear on this page with revision dates; continued use implies acceptance.
