Game Data

• Bolt Points, BoltRank tier, and streak count
• Scenario responses (which action was chosen, points earned)
• Game scores and level progress
• Family membership (invite code, member list)

3. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

For users who identify as ages 8-12:

• No behavioral tracking: We do not use Firebase Analytics, ad SDKs, or any behavioral tracking for any users, including children.
• Limited data collection: We collect only the minimum data needed: display name, age bracket, game progress, and Bolt Points.

• No third-party advertising: We do not display ads to any users.
• Parental rights: Parents may review their child's data, request deletion, or revoke consent at any time by contacting us at privacy@getfamilyarmor.com.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with:

We do not share data with advertisers, data brokers, or social media platforms.

6. Data Storage and Security

• Data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore (us-central1 region)
• All API keys and secrets are stored server-side in Firebase Cloud Functions -- never in the app bundle
• Authentication is handled via Sign in with Apple with optional TOTP multi-factor authentication
• Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (Google Cloud default encryption)

7. Data Retention and Deletion

• We retain your data as long as your account is active
• Account deletion: You can delete your account at any time from Settings > Delete Account. This immediately removes all your data from our systems, including: your user profile, game progress, family membership, and FCM tokens
