1. Introduction

Welcome to MandiMeter (“we,” “our,” or “us”).

MandiMeter is a hyperlocal price tracking application that allows users to view and submit community-reported prices of daily essentials in their area.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect and use information.

2. Information We Collect

MandiMeter does not require account registration and does not collect personally identifiable information such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Home address

However, we may collect limited technical data necessary for the app to function.

A. Anonymous Authentication

We use Firebase Anonymous Authentication to:

  • Prevent spam
  • Limit abuse
  • Maintain app stability

This generates a unique anonymous user ID that is not linked to your identity.

B. Price Submission Data

When you submit a price, we collect:

  • Item name
  • Price entered
  • Selected area
  • Timestamp
  • Anonymous user ID

This data is used solely to display aggregated price information to users.

C. Device & Usage Information

We may collect limited technical information such as:

  • Device type
  • App version
  • Crash logs
  • Usage analytics

This is collected through Firebase services and is used to:

  • Improve performance
  • Fix bugs
  • Enhance user experience

3. How We Use Information

We use collected data to:

  • Display aggregated local price information
  • Prevent spam and abuse
  • Improve app functionality
  • Monitor performance and stability

We do not:

  • Sell your data
  • Share personal data with advertisers
  • Track you across other apps or websites

4. Data Storage & Security

All data is stored securely using Google Firebase infrastructure.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.

However, no digital system is completely secure.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent user data.

Aggregated price information may be publicly displayed within the app.

We may share information only if required:

  • To comply with legal obligations
  • To protect our rights
  • To prevent fraud or abuse

6. Third-Party Services

MandiMeter uses:

  • Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Analytics)

These services may collect limited technical data according to their own privacy policies.

Anonymous technical logs may be retained for operational purposes.

8. Children’s Privacy

MandiMeter is not directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
