BBFans (“the App”, “we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our app, available on iOS and Android platforms.
1. Information We Collect
When you use BBFans, we may collect the following types of information:
a) Personal Information
- Email address (if you register/login with Firebase Authentication).
- Username, profile picture, or other optional community details you choose to share.
b) Non-Personal Information
- Device type, operating system, and app version.
- Usage data such as pages viewed, actions taken, and session duration.
- Crash logs and diagnostics.
c) Advertising & Tracking Data
- AdMob (by Google) may collect advertising identifiers, device information, and app usage patterns to deliver personalized ads.
- On iOS, we use NSUserTrackingUsageDescription to request permission to track user activity across apps and websites for ad personalization.
- If you decline tracking, you will still see ads, but they may not be personalized.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide and improve the BBFans app experience.
- Enable community features like posting, comments, and discussions.
- Show ads (via AdMob) to keep the app free.
- Monitor app performance, fix bugs, and enhance security (via Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics).
- Send push notifications (if you allow).
3. Third-Party Services
BBFans integrates third-party services:
- Firebase Authentication – for login and account management.
- Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics – for app performance and usage tracking.
- AdMob (Google Ads) – for displaying ads.
- Apple (iOS) & Google (Android) – platform services like push notifications and in-app tracking permissions.
These services may collect information as described in their own privacy policies.
4. User Tracking (iOS Specific)
Because BBFans contains NSUserTrackingUsageDescription, Apple requires us to disclose that:
- We may track user data across apps and websites owned by other companies for ad personalization (AdMob).
- You can opt out anytime by declining tracking when prompted or changing settings in your device.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information only in these cases:
- With service providers (Firebase, AdMob, etc.) to operate the app.
- To comply with legal obligations.
- To prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats.
6. Data Retention
- We keep your account data as long as your account is active.
- You may request account deletion at any time via app settings or by contacting us.
7. Your Privacy Choices
- Tracking Permission (iOS): You can decline or change permissions in your iPhone/iPad settings.
- Ads: You can reset your advertising ID or limit ad tracking in your device settings.
- Notifications: You can disable push notifications in your device settings.
8. Children’s Privacy
BBFans is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe your child has shared data with us, contact us to delete it.
9. Security
We use industry-standard measures (encryption, secure servers) to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure.
