Account Metadata: Creation timestamp and terms acceptance status.
Financial Inputs: Information you input for tools, such as current pay, allowances, benefits, and portfolio tracking. These are stored locally on your device, not on our servers.

Usage Data: How you interact with the Service.
Log Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time and date.
Location Information: General country/region-level location data for app distribution and performance analytics only.

Push Notification Tokens

If you enable push notifications, we collect and store a Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token for your device. This token is used solely to deliver notifications you have opted into. You may revoke this at any time by disabling notifications in your device or app settings. Tokens are removed from our servers when you sign out or delete your account.

Provide and maintain our Service.
Personalize your experience with relevant military transition resources.
Generate accurate compensation comparisons and retirement projections.
Improve our calculators and planning tools.
Communicate updates or changes to our Service.
Protect the security and integrity of our Service.

3. Data Storage and Security

Authentication: Firebase Authentication manages user accounts.
Analytics: Firebase Analytics collects anonymized usage data, not linked to your identity.
Data Storage: We store limited personal data (email, name, military background) on secure servers.
Local Storage: Financial calculations and planning data are stored locally on your device and not transmitted to our servers.
Data Breach Notification: In the event of a confirmed data breach, we will notify you via email and in-app within 72 hours, or as required by law.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

With service providers (e.g., Firebase, Stripe, RevenueCat) under data protection contracts.
To comply with legal obligations.
To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property.
In connection with a business transfer, merger, or acquisition.
Family Plan (voluntary): If you use the Family Plan feature and link your account with a partner, certain profile information (e.g., rank, branch, years of service) and data you explicitly choose to share (e.g., retirement scenarios, net worth) will be visible to your linked partner. This sharing is entirely optional and you control what is shared via the Family Mode settings. You can unlink at any time to stop sharing.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We use Firebase (Google) for analytics and authentication, and Vercel for web hosting. We also use Stripe for payment processing and RevenueCat for in-app purchase management. These providers have their own privacy policies and comply with applicable laws.

6. International Data Transfers

For users outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to the U.S. We use Standard Contractual Clauses for GDPR compliance to ensure data protection. Contact support@salutetosuit.com for details.
