4. Legal Basis

5. Use of Google Firebase

BYRKi.dev may use Google Firebase and related Google Cloud services. Depending on the project, this may include Firebase Authentication, Firebase Hosting, Cloud Firestore, Realtime Database, Cloud Storage for Firebase, Cloud Functions, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Cloud Messaging, App Check or similar Firebase services.

Firebase may process personal and technical data such as user identifiers, email addresses, authentication provider data, IP addresses, device information, crash logs, app instance IDs, analytics events, uploaded files, database entries and usage data. The exact data depends on the Firebase features enabled in the specific service.

Google may act as a processor for customer data in Firebase, while BYRKi.dev remains responsible for determining the purpose and means of processing where applicable.

6. Hosting, Storage and International Transfers

Data may be processed on servers operated by Google, Firebase or other infrastructure providers. Depending on the service and configuration, data may be stored or processed in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United States or other locations where the relevant providers operate data centers or infrastructure.

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards such as data processing agreements, standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms may be used.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The services may use cookies, local storage, session storage or similar technologies for login sessions, security, preferences, analytics or technical operation. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain technologies may limit functionality.

8. Analytics and Error Reporting

If enabled, analytics and error reporting tools such as Firebase Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics may be used to understand usage, detect crashes, diagnose errors and improve the service. These tools may collect technical device data, usage events, crash traces, timestamps and identifiers.

9. Data Sharing

Personal data is not sold. Data may be shared with service providers where necessary to operate the service, such as hosting providers, Firebase/Google, email providers, analytics services, payment providers, monitoring providers or legal/technical advisors. Data may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to protect rights, users or systems.

10. Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless longer retention is required by law, security needs, dispute resolution or technical backups. Account data is generally retained while the account exists. Logs and technical records are retained for a limited period unless needed for security or legal reasons.

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to data portability and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise your rights, contact us at hello@byrki.dev. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration. No online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we aim to keep systems updated and protected.

13. Children
