# Privacy Policy for GalacticCom
**Last updated:** October 26, 2023
Welcome to GalacticCom. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you when you use our mobile application ("Service"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting it.
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
## Information We Collect
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.
### 1. Information You Provide to Us
* **Account Information:** When you create an account, we collect your email address and password. This information is managed by Firebase Authentication and is used solely for authentication and account security.
* **Profile Information:** You may choose to provide a public nickname and a short biography ("bio"). This information is visible to other users.
* **User Content:** We collect the content you create within the app, including public messages sent in galaxy-wide broadcasts and private messages sent to other users.
### 2. Information Collected Automatically
* **Usage and Gameplay Data:** We store your in-game progress and status, such as your current galaxy, star system, resources, inventory, and travel timers. This is essential for the core functionality of the game.
* **Device and Connection Information:** We automatically collect your IP address and country of origin to understand our user base. We also collect your Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token to send you push notifications if you have them enabled.
* **Advertising Data:** Our advertising partner, Google AdMob, collects device identifiers (like the Google Advertising ID), IP address, and other data to serve personalized advertisements.
## How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
* **To Provide and Maintain the Service:** To manage your account, facilitate gameplay, and enable communication between users.
* **To Improve the Service:** To understand how users interact with the app, identify bugs, and improve features.
* **To Provide Advertising:** To display advertisements that support the free-to-play model of the app. This includes showing rewarded video ads that allow you to gain in-game benefits.
* **To Communicate with You:** To send you important updates or push notifications about in-game events, such as new messages or the arrival of special merchants.
## How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with the following third parties:
* **Google (Firebase & AdMob):** We use Firebase for our backend services, including authentication, database, and notifications. We use Google AdMob for serving ads. Google has its own privacy policy, which you can review here: [Google Privacy & Terms](https://policies.google.com/privacy).
* **Other Users:** Your nickname, avatar, and any messages you post in public channels are visible to other users of the Service.
* **Legal Requirements:** We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
## Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your personal data as long as your account is active. You have the right to delete your account at any time from the in-app Settings screen. When you delete your account, all your personal data, including your profile, messages, and game progress, will be permanently deleted from our servers.
## Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so that we can take necessary steps.
## Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
