Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 1, 2026
1. Information We Collect
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and optional profile information (skill level, home city, game style preferences). We use Firebase Authentication to securely manage your login credentials. If you subscribe, payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We never store your credit card information directly.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to: provide personalized search results, manage your subscription, send transactional emails (welcome, subscription updates, weekly digests), and improve our service. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Location Data
If you use the “Use My Location” feature, we access your device's GPS coordinates to show nearby games. This location data is used only for search and is not stored on our servers. You can always search by city name instead.
4. Cookies & Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. This includes anonymized usage data such as pages visited, search queries, and device type. We use essential cookies for authentication and preferences.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services: Firebase (authentication and database), Stripe (payment processing), Google Maps (map display), Google Analytics (site analytics), and SendGrid (email delivery). Each of these services has their own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, Firebase security rules for database access control, and Stripe's PCI-compliant payment processing. Your password is never stored in plain text.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time. You can manage your account settings from your profile page, or contact us at hello@mahjnearme.com to request data deletion.
