Privacy Policy

Who we are

Markova Labs LLC is an independent app studio based in Florida. We build mobile and web apps designed to be clean, useful, and respectful of your privacy. This policy applies to all apps we publish, including:

By using any of our apps, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

What we collect

We only collect what we need to make the app work. Depending on which app you use, this may include:

• Account information — your name, email address, and profile photo if you create an account
• Content you create — listings, photos, messages, and posts you submit within the app
• Location data — your approximate location to show you nearby content (only when you grant permission)
• Device information — device type, operating system, and app version for debugging and performance
• Usage data — how you interact with the app, to improve features and fix issues

Some apps allow anonymous use. In those cases, we do not collect your name or email unless you choose to provide them.

What we don't collect

• We do not sell your personal data — ever
• We do not share your data with advertisers for targeting purposes
• We do not collect payment information directly — any purchases are handled by Apple or Google
• We do not track you across other apps or websites

How we use your information

The information we collect is used to:

• Provide and improve our apps and services
• Show you relevant local content based on your location
• Send you important notifications about your account or activity
• Detect and prevent fraud, spam, and abuse
• Respond to your support requests

Third-party services

Our apps use trusted third-party services to function. These services have their own privacy policies:

• Firebase (Google) — authentication, database, and file storage. Firebase Privacy Policy →
• Google AdMob — advertising in free versions of our apps. Google Privacy Policy →
• Apple / Google — app distribution and in-app purchases

We only work with services that meet industry standards for data protection.

Your rights

You are in control of your data. You can:

• Access or export your data at any time by contacting us
• Delete your account and associated data from within the app or by contacting us
• Opt out of location permissions at any time through your device settings
• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you

Data retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we remove your personal information within 30 days. Some data may be retained longer if required by law.

Children's privacy

Our apps are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we'll notify you through the app. Continued use of our apps after changes means you accept the updated policy.
