Introduction
MemeSwipe ("we," "us," or "our") operates the MemeSwipe mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the App.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us, as well as information generated by your use of the App.

- Device information: Device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
- Crash and error data: Technical error reports and diagnostic information generated when the App crashes or encounters an error.
- Push notification tokens: If you grant permission, we store a device token to send you push notifications.
How We Use Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for behavioral advertising.
Third-Party Services
MemeSwipe uses a limited set of trusted third-party services to operate the App. These services may process your data according to their own privacy policies:
- Supabase — Our backend database, authentication, and file storage provider. Your account data, content, and messages are stored in Supabase infrastructure. See Supabase's privacy policy at supabase.com/privacy.

We do not integrate advertising SDKs, data broker services, or analytics platforms that track you across other apps or websites.
Data Retention
We retain your account data and content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information and content within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes. Some information may remain in backups for a limited time before being permanently deleted.

You have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
- Access: You can view your account information and content at any time within the App.
- Correction: You can update your username, profile photo, and other account details in the App's settings.
- Deletion: You can delete your account at any time using the "Delete Account" feature in the App's settings. This removes your profile and content from our active systems.

Children's Privacy
MemeSwipe is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at memeswipe2026@gmail.com.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), access controls on backend systems, and third-party services with strong security track records. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the App or via email. Your continued use of MemeSwipe after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
