Welcome to Feedling. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our application ("Feedling").

Our core promise is to be transparent. Your "InfoDiet" is personal, and we treat it that way.

1. Information We Collect

To provide the Feedling experience, we collect a few types of information:

• Information You Provide:
  • Account Information: When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive a unique user ID and your email address. We do not receive or store your password.
• Information from Your Connected Accounts (Your "InfoDiet"):
  • This is the core of Feedling. To give your pet life, you must connect a social media account (like TikTok, X, or YouTube).
  • What We DO Collect: We only analyze high-level content categories, topics, or hashtags (e.g., #food, #gaming, #lofi). This allows us to determine your pet's mood and what accessories to drop.
  • What We DO NOT Collect: We never collect or store your private messages (DMs), your specific search history, your passwords, or the exact videos you watch or content you read. Our system is designed to only understand your "vibe" (e.g., "you're into music today"), not your specific, identifiable activity.
• Information from Your Social Features (Vibe Sync):
  • If you choose to connect with friends on Feedling, we will store your friends list to enable the "Vibe Sync" feature.
  • We will compare your high-level "vibe" data with your friend's data to find common interests.
• Automatically Collected Information (Technical Data):
  • Device Information: We collect basic information about your device, such as its model, operating system, and unique device identifiers.
  • Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the Feedling app itself (e.g., features used, crashes) to help us fix bugs and improve the app.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for one reason: to make Feedling work.

• To Power Your Feedling: Your "InfoDiet" data is used to change your pet's mood, state, and appearance, and to drop relevant accessories.
• To Provide Core App Features: We use your data to display your pet in the Widget and send updates to the Dynamic Island (Live Activities).
• To Enable Social Features: We use your "Vibe Sync" data to find common interests with your friends and generate "pet diary" entries.
• To Improve and Secure Our Service: We use technical data to understand how our app is performing, fix crashes, and prevent abuse.
• To Communicate With You: We may use your email address to send you important updates about your account or our service (e.g., support requests).

3. How We Share Your Information

We are extremely careful about what we share.

• With Your Friends (if you use Vibe Sync):
  • Your friends will see that you share a common interest (e.g., "You and [Friend's Name] are both vibing with Music!").
  • They will not see a list of what you watched or a detailed breakdown of your InfoDiet. The sharing is high-level, just like the data we collect.
• With Third-Party Service Providers:
  • We may share data with services that help us run our app, such as cloud hosting providers (e.g., Amazon Web Services) or analytics tools. These services are legally bound to only use the information to help us and to keep it secure.
