This Privacy Policy explains what data SoleWatch collects, how it is used, and your rights regarding that data. SoleWatch is operated by George Bolea ([email protected]).

1. Data We Collect

Account data — When you sign in, we store your email address and a unique user ID. If you use Google or Facebook sign-in, we receive only the email and ID provided by those services; we do not receive your password.

App data — Your wishlist items and notification preferences are stored so they sync across devices.

Device token — To deliver push notifications, we store your device's FCM token. This is deleted when you disable notifications or delete your account.

Analytics Consent required — With your permission, we use PostHog to collect anonymised usage events (e.g. "product viewed", "deal feed searched"). PostHog is hosted on EU servers. No analytics data is collected if you decline consent.

Crash reports Consent required — With your permission, we use Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash and error reports. This helps us fix bugs. No crash data is collected if you decline consent.

2. How We Use Your Data
