    What It Means For You

    Usage patterns and crash data are shared with Firebase, Google's analytics and crash-reporting platform. In-app purchases are processed through Google Play Billing. Beyond that, data stays within the app and is not shared with advertising or marketing companies.

    Method and Limitations

    Static analysis only. CITT reviewed the code of this build without running the app, so runtime behavior was not observed. The findings below describe the analyzed build and may not reflect server-side controls or later versions. CITT makes no determination about compliance with any law or platform policy; it reports what the artifacts contain and cites the published guidance so a reader can compare.
