Privacy Policy – MyKorean App

Last updated: [Insert Date]

Welcome to MyKorean ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

a. Personal Information (provided by the user)

• Name
• Email address
• Date of birth
• Gender
• Country
• Age

This information is collected during sign-up and stored in our Firebase Firestore database for account creation and personalization purposes.

Additionally, the app stores your language learning progress — including known words, levels, and test history — in Firebase Cloud Storage. This allows us to back up your learning progress across devices.

b. Authentication

Firebase Authentication is used to manage user sign-ins with email/password or Google Sign-In.

c. Usage Data (collected automatically)

We collect anonymized data about your interaction with the app:

• App activity (lesson progress, button clicks, navigation)
• Device identifiers (Firebase Instance ID, advertising ID)
• Analytics data via Firebase Analytics

d. Advertising

We use AdMob to display in-app ads. AdMob may collect:

• Device information
• Advertising ID
• App interaction for ad personalization (if allowed)

You may opt out of personalized ads in your device settings.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information for:

• Creating and managing user accounts
• Tracking language learning progress
• Backing up and restoring your learning progress using Firebase Cloud Storage
• Displaying personalized ads (via AdMob)
• Improving the app based on aggregated analytics

3. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal information with third parties, except:

• Google services such as Firebase and AdMob for functionality and ads
• As required by law (e.g., to comply with legal requests)

4. Data Storage and Security

• All personal data is stored securely using Firebase services
• Data is encrypted in transit
