Introduction

Welcome to Stumbl. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application. Please read this privacy policy carefully. By using the app, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Location Data

We collect your device's location data to find nearby bars, restaurants, and activities. This data is used only while you are actively using the app and is not stored on our servers. Location data is sent to Google Places API to retrieve venue information.

We collect anonymous usage data to improve the app experience. This includes:

The following data is stored locally on your device only:

• Your check-in history and reviews
• Favorite venues

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to share it.

Firebase Authentication

We use Firebase Authentication for anonymous sign-in. This creates a unique identifier for your device session but does not collect any personal information such as your name, email, or phone number.

Party Mode Data

When you create or join a party, the following is temporarily stored in our cloud database (Firebase Firestore):

• Anonymous user identifier
• Party membership and activity
