Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 15, 2025

Our Commitment to Privacy

Welcome to Gibee V2. We built this trending content discovery app with privacy as a core principle. This Privacy Policy explains our approach: we don't collect or store your personal data. Gibee connects to our content database to show you curated trending topics, but your privacy remains protected.

What We Don't Collect

We do NOT collect:

Personal information (name, email, phone number)
Account information (no accounts required)
User-generated content or data
Location data
Device contacts or photos
Personal usage analytics or tracking data
Browsing history or search queries
Any other personal or identifiable information

Technical Data Collection

We collect minimal technical data to ensure the app functions properly:

Anonymous crash reports through Apple's Crashlytics service
Basic app performance metrics (loading times, errors)
Network connectivity status (to determine if content can be loaded)

This technical data helps us:

Identify and fix bugs
Improve app stability and performance
Ensure trending content loads properly

All technical data is anonymous and contains no personal information or identifiable data.

How Trending Content Works

Gibee connects to our Firebase database to display curated trending content. Here's what happens:

The app fetches trending topics, keywords, images, and links from our database
Content is displayed in your app in real-time
No personal data is sent to our servers
Your viewing activity is not tracked or stored
Content is cached temporarily on your device for performance

We cannot see which specific content you view or how you interact with the app.

Third-Party Services

Gibee uses the following third-party services:

Firebase (Google): For hosting our trending content database
Apple Crashlytics: For anonymous crash reporting

These services operate under their own privacy policies:

Firebase data is used solely to deliver content to you
No personal data is stored in Firebase
Crashlytics only receives anonymous technical information

We do not use advertising networks, analytics services, or data brokers.

No Accounts, No Tracking

Gibee works without requiring you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information. We don't track:

Which trending topics you view
How long you spend in the app
Your preferences or interests
Links you tap or images you view
Search queries or interactions

You remain completely anonymous while using Gibee.

Temporary Data Storage

To improve performance, Gibee temporarily caches:

Trending content text and metadata
Images from our content database
Basic app preferences (display settings)

This cached data:

Is stored only on your device
Contains no personal information
Is automatically cleared when you delete the app
May be cleared by iOS when storage is needed

No personal data or usage patterns are stored anywhere.

Children's Privacy

Since we don't collect any personal information, Gibee is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Parents should be aware that trending content may cover various topics and cultural references that may not be suitable for all ages.

External Links and Content

Gibee displays trending content that may include links to external websites. When you tap these links:

You leave the Gibee app
External websites have their own privacy policies
We are not responsible for external sites' privacy practices
No data is shared between Gibee and external sites

We curate content carefully but cannot control external websites' privacy practices.

You Have Complete Control

You maintain full control over your privacy:

Delete the app at any time to remove all cached content
No account deletion needed (no accounts exist)
No personal data to request or delete
Control your device's internet connection to limit content loading

Since no personal data is collected, there's nothing for us to delete or modify.

Security

Your privacy is protected by:

No personal data collection or storage
Secure Firebase connections for content delivery
iOS built-in security features
No transmission of personal information
Industry-standard data protection practices

We recommend keeping your device updated and secured with a passcode or biometric lock.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect app improvements or legal requirements. If we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date. Since we maintain a privacy-first approach, any changes will continue to protect your privacy.

Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
