Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Your email address and Firebase account identifier when you sign up or sign in.
• A Zetapad member ID generated by our server, used as your primary account identifier. Firebase’s identifier privately links your sign-in to this record.
• Basic account information shared with Firebase when you choose Google sign-in, such as your name, email address, and Google profile picture.
• The name, birthdate, and country you provide for your profile, along with its creation date. Your Google display name may prefill your name.
• Technical information processed by authentication and hosting providers, such as IP addresses and operational error logs.

Firebase Authentication handles your password. Zetapad does not store passwords in its profile database.

How we use your information

We use account information to sign you in, associate your profile with your account, display your private profile, and keep the service working. Firebase also handles account emails, including password-reset messages you request.

Technical information helps operate the service, diagnose errors, and protect accounts. Your profile is accessible to you through your authenticated account and to the authorized campus administrator for account management. Other members cannot view it.

Service providers and sharing

Google Firebase provides authentication, including Google sign-in. Our hosting infrastructure processes and stores the information needed to run Zetapad. These providers may process information in countries outside your own under their applicable terms and privacy policies.

Rooms can contain apps hosted by independent developers. Loading an app sends technical information such as your IP address to its host. When the app asks to authenticate, Zetapad shows its requested permissions. If you approve, it receives a stable Zetapad user ID shared across apps and only the profile, email, or birthdate fields you have authorized. Developers can use the shared user ID to recognize the same account across apps, even when no profile permissions are requested.

We store your app approvals so you do not need to repeat them on every visit. Changed app origins or permissions require approval again. Developers are responsible for information they receive and their own privacy practices.

We do not sell your profile information or use it for advertising. Information may be disclosed when required by law or to address misuse and protect the service.

You can read Google’s Privacy Policy for information about Google’s services.

Browser storage and operational metrics

Firebase Authentication uses browser storage to keep you signed in. Signing out ends the sign-in session in that browser; it does not delete your account or stored profile.

Our server keeps daily aggregate counts of profile saves, developer app changes, room launch and authorization requests, and API successes, errors, and response times. These totals help the authorized administrator understand usage and diagnose service problems. The admin panel also shows current totals for campus members, profiles, apps, published rooms, and active app connections.

The metrics contain operation labels and daily totals, without member identifiers, app identifiers, IP addresses, profile fields, URLs, credentials, or request contents. Metrics do not link actions into individual histories. Daily reports cover the last 90 UTC days, and older counters are removed when new metrics are saved; account records and backups follow the retention terms below.

Zetapad does not load browser analytics or use analytics cookies. These server counters do not measure scrolling, time on pages, or activity inside independent apps. Landing-page photos and fonts are served from Zetapad.

Independent apps may use their own browser storage, analytics, or hosting services. Their policies apply to those activities.

Retention and your choices

We retain account and profile information while your account is maintained. Operational records or backups may remain for service operation or applicable legal requirements.

You can view your saved information on your profile page. Editing a saved profile and deleting an account are not currently available in the app. For questions or requests about accessing, correcting, or deleting information, email support at the address below. Requests may require verification of account ownership.

Connected apps on your profile shows the permissions you have granted. Disconnecting your profile ends that app’s future Zetapad access immediately; entering again asks for approval. Disconnecting cannot remove copies of information the developer has already received. Contact the developer for requests concerning their stored information.

If you believe a child’s information was provided without consent required by local law, please email support at the same address.

Policy updates

We may update this policy as Zetapad changes. The date above identifies the latest version; future features will need their own accurate data-use disclosures.
