Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 17, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to HoyPay! We get it—remembering due dates is hard. That’s why we help you stay on top of your payments without the stress. But in return, we need to handle some of your data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we do that.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data necessary for HoyPay to function properly. This includes:

• Location Data: If enabled, we use your location to provide real-time updates to viewers. No, we don’t track you for fun.
• App Usage Data: We may collect anonymized information on how you use the app to improve features and fix bugs.
• User Authentication Data: If you sign up or log in using Firebase Authentication, we store your email, encrypted password, and any relevant profile details needed for account management.
• Stored User Data: Your payment records, due dates, and reminders are securely stored in Firebase Firestore to enable app functionality.

3. Why We Need These Permissions

Here’s a breakdown of the app permissions and why they exist:

• Location (Always / When in Use): Needed for real-time position tracking even when the screen is off.
• Background Location: Required to ensure tracking continues even when the app is minimized.
• Firebase Authentication: Allows users to create accounts, log in securely, and sync their payment reminders across devices.
• Firebase Firestore: Securely stores user data such as payment records and reminders.

4. Data Protection

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. Our goal is to help you pay on time, not to sell your info to the highest bidder.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party tools for analytics and app functionality, including Firebase, to enhance the user experience. Rest assured, we choose reputable services that follow data protection laws.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. If you continue using HoyPay after changes are made, we assume you’re cool with them.
