Privacy Policy

Effective Date & Last Updated: May 27, 2026

1. Zero-Data Philosophy

Gen-Z Flames is built with privacy as our absolute core value. We believe your relationship calculations are private. We do not store, log, transmit, or share the names you enter in the app. All name-based calculations are processed instantly on your device and are cleared immediately once the session is reset or the app is closed.

2. Simulated Biometric Data ("Love Chances")

The "Love Chances" dual-thumb scanning feature is entirely a visual simulation designed for interactive fun and entertainment. The app **does not** access, scan, read, collect, or store actual biometric fingerprint data. The scanning sequence uses standard touch-listener animations to trigger a randomized, deterministic compatibility vibe score. No physical biometric data is ever accessed.

3. Third-Party Ads & Mediation Partners (AdMob, Meta, Unity)

We serve advertisements using Google AdMob alongside real-time unified bidding mediation partners, including **Meta Audience Network** and **Unity Ads**. These services may collect and process user advertising identifiers (like AAID or IDFA) to serve personalized or contextual ad matches. To protect user privacy in European (EEA/UK) and regional zones, the app implements the official Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent SDK, enabling users to customize or opt-out of ad personalization at any time.

4. Firebase Analytics & Telemetry Tracing

To analyze app stability, crash rates, and user retention milestones, the app implements **Firebase Core** and **Google Analytics**. These SDKs collect only non-personally identifiable information (non-PII) such as OS version, device model, locale/language properties, and anonymous user presence tags. All parameters logged to Firebase automatically pass through a strict local sanitization engine to remove or truncate any potential personal tracking markers.

5. Hardware & Device Permissions Transparency

To deliver high-performance gameplay and monetization, Gen-Z Flames queries only the minimal standard Android system permissions:
• INTERNET: Required to query AdMob networks and send anonymous Firebase crash diagnostic logs.
• ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used to detect offline states and pause background ad caching loops cleanly, preserving user mobile data limits.
• AD_ID: Queries the Google Play Services resettable advertising identifier to deliver compliant, interest-based ad matches (only active when explicit consent is provided through the UMP dialog).

6. Children's Privacy Compliance (COPPA)

Gen-Z Flames is fully compliant with Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) guidelines. Our app does not knowingly collect, store, or share personal information from children under the age of 13. The app is rated PEGI 3 / Everyone for casual entertainment.

7. Dynamic Version Info

This Privacy Policy is compiled for the current release version **v1.1.2 (Build 4)** of Gen-Z Flames. Any future updates to the application that expand features or introduce telemetry will be documented here transparently.
