Privacy Policy

Middly ("we", "us", or "the app") helps groups find a convenient meeting point. This policy explains what data the app collects, why, and how it is handled. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not sell your personal data.

1. Data We Collect

Data	Purpose	Stored?
Device location	Find meeting points near you	Only while the app is in use; never uploaded to our servers
Crash logs & diagnostics	Fix bugs and improve stability	Sent to Firebase Crashlytics (Google); retained per Google's policy
Advertising identifier (IDFA / GAID)	Serve ads via Google AdMob	Processed by Google; subject to your consent choices
Device attestation token	Verify the app install is genuine (Firebase App Check)	Temporary; not linked to you personally
Session identifier	Correlate crash reports within a single session	Random ID stored on-device only; reset each session

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

3. Location Data

The app requests location permission ("when in use") solely to centre the map and suggest nearby meeting areas. Your coordinates are processed on-device and through Google Maps APIs to display results. We do not store or transmit your precise location to our own servers.

4. Advertising

Middly displays banner ads served by Google AdMob. On first launch you are asked for consent via the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (UMP) and, on iOS, the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt. You can change your ad preferences at any time using the privacy button in the app, or by resetting your device's advertising identifier in system settings.

5. Third-Party Services

The app relies on the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

6. Data Retention

We do not maintain our own user database. Crash reports are retained by Firebase Crashlytics for 90 days. Ad-related data is managed by Google according to their retention policies. On-device data (session IDs, preferences) persists until you uninstall the app or clear its storage.

7. Children's Privacy

Middly is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to opt out of certain processing. Because we do not maintain user accounts, we hold minimal identifiable data. To exercise any rights or ask questions, contact us at the address below.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
