TeaOnMyBoo ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Service.
We receive verification status from Stripe Identity, but we do not receive or store your actual identification documents. Stripe Identity handles all identity verification processes independently.
Identity Verification: When you complete identity verification through Stripe Identity, you may be required to submit sensitive personal information, including government-issued identification documents (such as driver's licenses or passports) and, in some cases, biometric data (such as facial recognition scans or selfie photos for verification purposes).
Important: TeaOnMyBoo does not directly collect, store, or process your sensitive identification documents or biometric data. All identity verification is handled exclusively by Stripe Identity, a third-party service provider that is compliant with applicable data protection laws. We only receive your verification status (approved, pending, or rejected) from Stripe Identity, not the actual documents or biometric data you submit.
Stripe Identity's collection and processing of your sensitive and biometric data is governed by Stripe's own privacy policy and terms of service. We encourage you to review Stripe's privacy practices at stripe.com/privacyto understand how they handle your identification documents and biometric information.
We use various tracking technologies and analytics tools to understand how you use our Service and to improve your experience:
Analytics and Opt-Out: The analytics data we collect is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We use Firebase Analytics in a privacy-preserving manner that does not involve cross-app or cross-website tracking. While we do not currently offer an in-app analytics opt-out setting, you can manage your privacy preferences through your device settings. For iOS devices, you can control app tracking through Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Note that disabling tracking may affect some app functionality.
We do not use analytics data for advertising purposes or share it with third parties for their marketing purposes. All analytics are used solely for improving our Service and understanding user needs.

Important: TeaOnMyBoo uses a zero-knowledge architecture for user-generated content. This means that your posts and comments are encrypted in such a way that we cannot read them. Even if we wanted to access your content, the encryption prevents us from doing so.
Content moderation is performed through automated systems (Azure AI Content Safety) that analyze content without human review of the decrypted content. We never "see" your posts in readable form.
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
We share information with trusted service providers who perform services on our behalf:

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
