  • You can also reset your advertising ID under Settings → Privacy → Ads on your device.

We do not share personal data directly with advertisers.

Data Security

All data transmitted to Firebase is secured using industry-standard HTTPS/TLS encryption. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, the privacy risk to you is minimal. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
