Privacy Policy for The Daily Signal

Last Updated: October 3, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how The Daily Signal ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our Android application (the "Service"). Your privacy is our top priority.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum necessary anonymous data to provide the core game functionality:

• Anonymous User ID: Through Firebase Authentication's Anonymous Sign-In feature, each app installation is assigned a unique, random identifier. This ID is not linked to you personally and is used solely to save your game progress.
• Game Data: We store your game progress, which is tied to your anonymous User ID. This includes your chosen username, your current streak, your longest streak, and your daily vote history (e.g., `lastVoteTimestamp`).
• Anonymous Usage Data: We use Google Analytics for Firebase to collect anonymous, aggregated data, such as which features are used most often and crash reports. This helps us improve the app and cannot be used to identify you.

2. How We Use Information

The anonymous information we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• To provide the core functionality of the game, such as saving your streak and displaying your rank on the leaderboard.
• To analyze and improve the performance, stability, and features of the Service.
• To ensure the security of our Service and prevent abuse.

3. Third-Party Services

We use Google's Firebase platform for our backend services (Authentication, Firestore) and for analytics. Google's privacy policy governs their data handling. You can review it here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Children's Privacy

Our Service is a game intended for a general audience and does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
