# Privacy Policy for Cognivo
**Last Updated: Jan 1, 2026**

Ghost Community ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Cognivo mobile application (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

## 1. Information Collection and Use
We collect several different types of information to provide and improve our Service to you.

### Types of Data Collected
*   **Personal Data**: Email address, Display Name, and Profile picture (via Google Sign-In).
*   **Game & Progress Data**: High scores, daily streaks, and leaderboard rankings stored in Firebase Firestore.
*   **Usage Data**: Device IP address, device type, OS version, and diagnostic data.

## 2. Use of Data
Cognivo uses the collected data to:
*   Maintain your personalized "Cognitive Index" and training progress.
*   Facilitate the Global Leaderboard (Hall of Fame).
*   Provide user support and detect technical issues.

## 3. Social Sharing and Public Data
*   **Leaderboards**: Your username and high scores are visible to other authenticated users.
*   **Third-Party Sharing**: We do not control data once you manually share it to outside social platforms (Instagram, X, etc.).

## 4. Storage and Transfer of Data
Your information is processed and stored using **Firebase (Google Cloud)**. Data is encrypted in transit using TLS and stored in secure cloud databases subject to Google's privacy standards.

## 5. Account & Data Deletion (Mandatory Disclosure)
   In compliance with Google Play’s User Data Policy, we provide two ways to permanently delete your account and all associated data (Email, Name, Scores, and Streaks):

In-App Deletion: You can delete your account at any time via the app's Settings > Delete My Account menu.

Web-Based Deletion Request: If you have uninstalled the app, you may request permanent account and data deletion via our official portal: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZ6XUIuPkIS4KAA8I9nVHrmln5Vam4N-gfLZRp8BaYTPWF6g/viewform.
**Data Retention**: Upon a deletion request, all personal and game data is wiped from our active Firestore databases immediately.

## 6. Security of Data
We use industry-standard security measures (Firebase Authentication and Firestore Security Rules). However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

## 7. Service Providers
We employ Firebase (Google) for Authentication, Firestore database management, and Analytics. These providers only have access to your data to perform tasks on our behalf.

## 8. Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children.

## 9. Contact Us
