Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 30, 2025

Welcome to ThirdGate. This Privacy Policy explains how I ("the Developer", "I", "me") collect, use, and protect your information when you use the ThirdGate mobile application (the "App") and the website located at thirdgate.org (the "Website").

By using the App or Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information I Collect

A. Personal Data You Provide

To use the dream journaling features, you must create an account. I collect the following:

• Authentication Data: Email address (via Firebase Authentication).
• User Content: The text contents of your dreams, titles, and associated metadata (e.g., dates, tags) that you voluntarily enter into the App.

B. Automatically Collected Data

• Usage Data: I use Google Analytics to understand how the App and Website are used (e.g., which pages are visited, session duration). This helps me improve the user experience.
• Google Analytics Cookies: While the Website does not use first-party cookies for advertising, Google Analytics uses cookies or unique device identifiers to track anonymous usage statistics.

2. How I Use Your Information

I am a single developer creating this project for non-commercial purposes. I use your data solely to:

• Provide and maintain the Service (storing your dreams).
• Authenticate your login.
• Monitor usage trends to improve functionality.

I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

I use trusted third-party services to operate the App. These parties have access to your data only to perform specific tasks on my behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

• Google Firebase: Used for Authentication (logging you in) and Firestore (database for storing your dreams). Firebase Privacy Policy
• Google Analytics: Used for analyzing website and app traffic. Google Analytics Privacy Policy

4. Data Retention and Deletion

Your data is stored securely in the cloud via Google Firebase.

Your Right to Delete: You have full control over your data. You can delete your account and all associated data (dreams, metadata, and login info) at any time directly within the App or Website settings. When you request deletion, your data is permanently removed from the active database immediately.

5. Security

I value your trust in providing your Personal Information and I leverage industry-standard security provided by Google Firebase to protect it. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If I discover that a child under 13 has provided me with personal information, I will delete this from our servers immediately.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
