Furever Friends (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the “App”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not use the App.

Our website address is https://fureverfriends.app. We collect different types of information to provide and improve our services. This includes personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, profile picture (if uploaded), and securely hashed user credentials. We also collect usage data like device information, IP address, app usage statistics, comments, and user-generated content. Additionally, we store user preferences, including saved app settings and preferred geographic areas for personalized content. Cookies and tracking technologies help us maintain login sessions, store preferences, and analyze app performance.

We use the collected information to manage accounts, improve service features, personalize user experiences based on preferences and location, ensure security by preventing fraud, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations. When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at Automattic Privacy Policy. If you upload images, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can extract this information.

Cookies are used for convenience, such as saving login details and display preferences. Content on the website may contain embedded content like videos and images from other websites, which may collect data and track interactions. We do not sell or rent your personal information; however, we may share it with third-party service providers who assist with analytics, hosting, or customer support. We may also disclose information to comply with legal requirements or in cases of business transfers such as mergers or acquisitions.

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely. User account data is stored for active users and can be deleted upon request. Cookies vary in duration based on their function, such as login persistence or display settings. You have the right to access and update your personal details, request account or data deletion, and opt out of marketing communications through the app settings.

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption for data storage and transmission, secure authentication mechanisms, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so users are encouraged to maintain strong passwords and protect their account credentials. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, and data may be shared with analytics providers to improve user experience.

Our App is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If such information is inadvertently collected, we will take immediate action to delete it. This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically, and users will be notified of significant changes via app notifications or email. Continued use of the App after changes take effect indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, you may contact us via email at adopt@fureverfriends.app

Thank you for using Furever Friends. Your privacy is important to us.
