Privacy Policy

1. Overview

NoSpoiler ("App") provides spoiler-free recaps and series tracking. This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and your choices.

2. Data Sources

• Firebase Authentication: user identity (email, display name, profile photo if using Google Sign-In).
• Firebase Firestore: series tracking progress, user settings, recap cache pointers.
• Firebase Remote Config: app configuration and feature flags.
• Hive Local Storage: offline preferences, last viewed episode, cached recap segments. Stored only on your device.
• TVMaze API: read-only metadata (titles, posters, dates, episode summaries). No personal info sent to TVMaze.
• Google Translate: automatic translation of episode summaries. Text content only, no personal identifiers.
• Optional Analytics (Firebase Analytics): may collect anonymized usage events. Disabled by default.

3. Data Collected

Category	Examples	Storage	Purpose
Account	Email, Display Name, Profile Photo	Firebase Auth	Login and restore user progress
Series Progress	Season, episode numbers	Firestore + Local Hive	Provide accurate recap filtering
Preferences	Detail level, language	Local Hive	Tailor recap output
Metadata Cache	Series name, poster path	Local Hive	Faster loading & reduced API calls
Translated Content	Episode summaries	Local Hive	Cached translations for performance
Diagnostics (future)	Crash logs, performance	Firebase Crashlytics/Analytics	Stability & optimization

4. What Is NOT Collected

• No passwords stored in plain text (managed by Firebase Auth).
• No sensitive personal profile (address, payment info).
• No behavioral advertising profiling.
• No bulk export of TVMaze data.

5. Automatic Translation

Episode summaries may be automatically translated using Google Translate. These translations are:

• Generated automatically and may contain inaccuracies.
• Cached locally to improve performance.
• Not associated with any personal identifier when sent to the translation service.

6. Use of Data

Data is used solely to: provide spoiler filtering, maintain user progress across devices, translate content, optimize performance, and improve feature quality.

7. Legal Basis (EU / GDPR Context)

• Performance of a service (tracking episodes & delivering recaps).
• Legitimate interest (security & app improvement) for minimal diagnostics.
• Consent (future toggles for analytics/crash reporting where required).

8. Data Retention

• Firestore progress retained until account deletion request.
• Local Hive data retained on device until user uninstalls or clears app storage.
• Anonymized analytics (when enabled) retained per Firebase default lifetimes.

9. Sharing

NoSpoiler does NOT sell or share personal data with third parties. Service providers (Firebase, Google Cloud) process data under their own terms. TVMaze receives only standard GET requests for content metadata; no user identifiers are transmitted.

10. Security

Industry-standard Firebase security rules are applied. Local storage is not encrypted; sensitive data is intentionally minimized.

11. Your Rights

Where applicable (e.g., GDPR):

• Access: Request stored account email & series progress snapshot.
• Rectification: Correct inaccurate progress.
• Deletion: Request account deletion (removes Firestore data; local device data cleared on uninstall).
• Restriction/Objection: Opt out of future analytics.

12. Children

App not targeted at children under 13. If a child's data is discovered, it will be removed.

13. International Transfers

Firebase may store data in multiple regions. Standard contractual safeguards apply via Firebase platform.

14. Changes

Policy may be updated. "Effective Date" reflects latest revision. Continued use indicates acceptance.
