We process your personal data under the following legal bases in compliance with global data protection standards (including GDPR and CCPA):
Consent: When you voluntarily provide data (e.g., uploading a photo, choosing a mood).
Contractual Necessity: To fulfill our service obligations (e.g., processing reward payouts).
Legitimate Interests: To prevent fraud, ensure security, and improve our App’s performance.

Customer Support: Information provided when you contact us for help.

Usage Data: App launch time, session duration, interaction with posts, and reward task history.
Location Data (Coarse): We collect approximate location data (based on IP address and SIM Country Code) to verify reward eligibility and serve region-specific ads. We DO NOT collect precise GPS coordinates.

Safety & Security: To detect bots, block fraudulent accounts, and enforce our “One Device, One Account” policy.
Personalization: To tailor content and advertisements based on your interests and region.

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.
Active Accounts: Data is retained while your account is active.
Deleted Accounts: If you request account deletion, your personal identifiers are removed from our active servers within 30 days.
Exceptions: We may retain specific transaction records (e.g., payout history) and fraud logs (e.g., banned device IDs) for a longer period to comply with legal/financial obligations and to prevent banned users from returning.

By using the App, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your residence, which may have different data protection rules. - Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Reference)
