privacy policy.

Beeps is a small collection game. To let you sign in, remember what you've scanned, and show friends your field guide, we store a little bit of data about your account and your scans. We don't sell it, share it for advertising, or use third-party trackers. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time.

• ·Account info. Your email address, a chosen username, and an optional display name. Stored so you can sign in and so friends can find you.
• ·Scan data. When you scan a barcode, we store the resulting figure, the product code (UPC) that produced it, a rough location bucket (a geographically hashed zone — not your precise latitude/longitude), and the time window (morning/afternoon/etc.). This is what makes your field guide remember where you caught something.
• ·Gameplay state. Your collection, friendships, gifts, and crafting history.
• ·Basic device info. Standard crash and error telemetry from Apple's App Store / TestFlight. We do not run a third-party analytics SDK.

• ·Camera images. The camera is used only to detect a barcode on-device. We never upload, store, or transmit the camera feed or any photos.
• ·Precise location. Scans generate a coarse zone identifier so the game can place the discovery, but your exact GPS coordinates are not saved to our servers.
• ·Contacts, calendar, microphone, or photo library.
• ·Advertising identifiers (IDFA) or third-party advertising SDKs.

Data is used only to run the app: to authenticate you, show your collection, let you add friends, resolve scans into figures, and enforce a basic per-hour scan limit to prevent abuse. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Beeps runs on Supabase, a managed Postgres + authentication provider. Your data is stored in Supabase's US region. Supabase processes data on our behalf under a standard data processing agreement and does not use it for its own purposes.

We use Apple's TestFlight and App Store Connect for distribution; Apple's privacy terms apply to the standard crash reports those services provide.

• ·Camera — required to scan barcodes. Used only while the Scan screen is open.
• ·Location — used when you scan to derive the coarse zone a figure is tied to. Optional; scans still work without it, just without location-flavored rarities.

Beeps is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.

You can, at any time:

• ·Request a copy of the data tied to your account.
• ·Correct your username or display name from the Profile screen.
• ·Delete your account. Email us at michaeldcruz@gmail.com from the address on file and we'll remove your account, collection, and any friendship records within 7 days.

If we change anything material in this policy, we'll update the date above and note the change in-app on your next launch.
