Information We Collect

Information You Provide Through Authentication

When you sign in to SurfaceDocs using Google authentication, we receive and store the following information from your Google account:

• Email address
• First name and last name

We use Firebase Authentication (a Google service) to handle sign-in. We do not see or store your Google password.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Service, we automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent
• Device type and operating system
• Unique device identifiers

This information helps us maintain and improve the Service.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain the Service
• Manage your account and authentication
• Communicate with you about the Service (e.g., service updates, security notices)
• Monitor and analyze usage to improve the Service
• Protect against unauthorized access and abuse

Cookies

We use essential cookies only. These are session cookies required for Firebase Authentication to keep you signed in and to maintain security. Without these cookies, the Service cannot function.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or web beacons.

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, but this will prevent you from using the Service.

Service Providers

We use the following third-party services to operate SurfaceDocs:

• Firebase (Google): Authentication and data storage. Firebase processes your account information on our behalf. See Firebase's privacy policy.

These providers only have access to your information to perform services on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You may:

• Access, update, or delete your personal information through your account settings
• Request deletion of your account by contacting us
• Request a copy of the data we hold about you

Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed on servers located outside your country of residence. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice on the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
