Effective Date: December 18, 2025 Last Updated: December 18, 2025 Version: 1.1

Introduction

Welcome to Merry Christmas: Noelio ("we", "our", "us", or "the App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a festive, safe experience.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal information when you use our mobile application and related services. By using Merry Christmas: Noelio, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

1. Information You Provide to Us

Account Information: When you sign in using Apple or Google, we collect your name and email address to create your profile and sync your data across devices.
User Content: We collect the content you create or upload, such as:
- Photos you upload for the "Santa AI" transformation feature.
- Wish list items, personal notes, and activity progress.
- Advent calendar status.

2. Automatically Collected Information

Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, including model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
Usage Data: We collect anonymous data about how you interact with our features (e.g., which activities are most popular) to improve the App.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

1. To Provide and Maintain the Service

Cloud Sync: We use Firebase (Google) to securely store your wish lists, advent calendar progress, and settings in the cloud, allowing you to access them from multiple devices.
Authentication: To verify your identity and secure your account.

2. To Provide AI Features (Santa Transformation)

Image Processing: When you use the "Generate Santa Photo" feature, the photo you upload is temporarily processed to apply the transformation.
AI Service: We utilize Google Gemini AI models to generate these creative transformations. Your image data is sent securely to these services solely for the purpose of generating the output image.

3. To Improve Our App

We analyze usage trends to fix bugs and enhance the user experience.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. However, we share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our App:

1. Google Firebase

We use Firebase for:

Authentication: Securely managing user logins (Google/Apple Sign-In).
Firestore Database: Storing your app data (wish lists, progress) in the cloud.
Cloud Storage: Storing generated images or user uploads.
Analytics: Understanding app performance (anonymized).

2. Google Gemini AI

We use Google's Generative AI services to power the photo transformation features. Images are processed according to Google's rigorous data privacy standards for enterprise/cloud customers.

3. Apple

If you use "Sign in with Apple," Apple provides us with an anonymized ID and (optionally) your email, which we use to create your account.

Data Retention

Account Data: We retain your account information and synced data as long as your account is active.
AI Images: Images generated by AI or uploaded for processing may be stored in our cloud storage to allow you to view and share them. You can delete these images at any time within the app.

Your Rights and Control

You have full control over your data:

Access and Update: You can view and edit your wish lists and profile information directly in the App.
Delete Content: You can delete specific notes, wish list items, or generated photos within the App.
Delete Account: You can request the deletion of your entire account and all associated data directly via the App settings or by contacting us. Upon deletion, all your data on our servers will be permanently removed.

Children's Privacy

Merry Christmas: Noelio is a General Audience Application.

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. While the content is family-friendly, features such as Account Creation, Cloud Sync, and AI Image Generation are intended for users who are at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in their country).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. We will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and encryption at rest for database storage, to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
