We use the analytics data we collect to:

• Improve app performance and stability
• Understand which features are most valuable to users
• Identify and fix bugs
• Make informed decisions about new features
• Ensure the app works well across different devices

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage

All of your creative work (typed text, physics objects, settings) is stored locally on your device. We do not have access to this data and it is never transmitted to our servers.

4.2 Analytics Data

Anonymous analytics data is processed by Firebase Analytics, a service provided by Google. This data is governed by Google's privacy policy and security measures. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

4.3 Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:

• Using secure connections (HTTPS) for all network communications
• Following industry best practices for app security
• Regular security updates

5. Third-Party Services

Gravity Type uses the following third-party services:

5.1 Firebase Analytics (Google)

We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage data. Firebase is governed by Google's privacy policy. You can learn more at Firebase Privacy Information.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your data:

6.1 Opt-Out of Analytics

On iOS, you can limit ad tracking and analytics through Settings > Privacy > Analytics & Improvements > Share Analytics. This will limit the data shared with Firebase Analytics.

6.2 Data Deletion

Since all your creative work is stored locally on your device, you can delete it at any time by:

• Using the Clear function within the app
• Deleting the app from your device

6.3 Access to Analytics Data

The analytics data we collect is anonymous and cannot be tied to individual users. If you have concerns about analytics data, please contact us.

7. Children's Privacy

Gravity Type does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app is designed to be safe for all ages, and we do not collect any information that could identify users, including children.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. We will post the updated policy with a new "Last Updated" date.

Significant changes will be communicated through the app or our website.

9. International Users

Gravity Type is available worldwide. If you use the app from outside the United States, please note that your anonymous analytics data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect and how it's used
• Request deletion of personal information
• Opt-out of the sale of personal information (Note: We do not sell personal information)

Since Gravity Type only collects anonymous analytics data and no personally identifiable information, these rights largely do not apply. However, if you have any concerns, please contact us.

• Right to access your data
• Right to rectification
• Right to erasure
• Right to restrict processing
• Right to data portability

Since we only collect anonymous analytics data, these rights are limited in their application. However, you can opt-out of analytics through your device settings.
