Privacy Policy

We collect the following categories of information:

• App usage data, such as features used, screens viewed, and general interaction patterns.
• Device information, such as device type, operating system, app version, language, and approximate region.
• Analytics data collected through standard analytics tools to help us understand performance and improve the Service.
• Account data, if you create an account, such as your email address and basic profile details.
• Bottle-scan data, such as the water products you scan and the notes, ratings, or saved items you create in the app.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Service.
• Deliver scan results, mineral profiles, and personalized features.
• Analyze usage to improve performance, reliability, and content.
• Communicate with you about updates, support, and important notices.
• Protect against fraud, abuse, and security risks, and to comply with law.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with service providers and processors who help us run the Service, including:

• Analytics providers that help us measure and improve usage.
• Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers that store and serve data.
• Customer support and communication tools.
• Legal, safety, or law enforcement recipients when required by law.

These providers are bound by contracts that limit their use of information to providing services to us.

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, to provide the Service, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act:

• The right to know and access the personal information we collect about you.
• The right to request deletion of your personal information.
• The right to correct inaccurate personal information.
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
• The right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the email below. We will verify your request before responding, and you may use an authorized agent where permitted by law.

We do not sell your personal information for money. To the extent any data sharing for analytics is treated as a "sale" or "sharing" under California law, you can opt out at any time:

• Email us at the address below with the subject line "Your Privacy Choices" to opt out of sale or sharing.
• You can also limit analytics through your device and browser settings, and by declining optional cookies.

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for that browser.

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
