3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on Supabase (hosted on AWS), a secure cloud database platform. File uploads (receipts, documents) are stored in Supabase Storage. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS and encrypted at rest. We implement industry-standard security practices to protect your data.

We use Firebase(Google) for push notification delivery and crash reporting. Firebase is governed by Google's privacy policies.

We use Twilio for SMS and WhatsApp message delivery. Phone numbers used for notifications are processed by Twilio in accordance with their privacy policy.

4. Data Sharing

We share your data only with the following service providers, and only to the extent necessary to operate the Service:

• Supabase — database and file storage
• Firebase (Google) — push notifications and crash reporting
• Twilio — SMS and WhatsApp notifications

We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid legal process.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data — via your profile settings in the app
• Delete your account and all associated data — contact us at support@bricker.in
• Export your data — contact us at support@bricker.in

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Anonymised, aggregated usage statistics may be retained indefinitely.

7. Children's Privacy

Bricker is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at support@bricker.in and we will delete it.

8. Camera and Photo Library

Bricker requests access to your camera and photo library solely to let you attach receipt photos and property documents to your records. We do not access, scan, or upload any photos other than those you explicitly select within the app.

9. Push Notifications

We send push notifications for events such as overdue rent, upcoming lease expiry, and bill due dates. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings. Your push notification token is stored securely and used only to deliver notifications to your device.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, by sending you a notification through the app. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
