#### **a) Required Data for Account & Authentication**

* **Google Authentication (OAuth)** – If you log in with Google, we only receive your **email address** and **profile name** (no password is stored).

#### **b) Analytics & Usage Data**

* We use **Google Analytics** to understand how users interact with our platform.
* Google Analytics may collect **anonymized usage data** such as:
  * Page visits & navigation behavior
  * Device & browser type
  * Approximate location (country-level, not precise)

### **2. How We Use Your Data**

We use collected data **only to improve our services** and never sell or share it with third parties. Specifically, we use it for:

* **Authentication & Account Management** (email login)
* **Service Improvement** (analyzing user behavior with Google Analytics)
* **Security & Fraud Prevention**

### **3. Data Storage & Security**

* **Emails are securely stored and encrypted on Google Cloud**.
* **Analytics data is anonymized** and stored within Google Analytics.
