Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026-07-30

MostaGuide ("the App") is a touristic guide application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use the App.

1. Information We Collect

2. How We Use Information

3. Data Storage and Service Providers

We use trusted third-party services to operate the App:

The App also keeps the following on your device only. This information is never transmitted to us:

No analytics, advertising, or tracking. The App contains no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, no advertising SDK, and no third-party tracking software. We do not collect an advertising identifier, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.

4. Permissions We Request

The App requests the following device permissions. Some are requested directly by the App, while others are added automatically by third-party libraries we use (such as Firebase and Google Sign-In) to enable their services:

The App also accesses your photos and videos in the following ways, which do not require declaring broad storage permissions:

The App also uses the following capabilities, which do not require a runtime permission prompt:

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal data. We share data only with the service providers listed above (Firebase, Supabase, Cloudinary) to enable core App functionality, subject to appropriate safeguards and their own privacy policies.

Reports are private. Submitted reports are visible only to our moderation team. If you report someone, they are not told who reported them. If you block someone, they are not notified.

6. Security

Data transmitted between the App and our servers is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. While no method is 100% secure, we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

To delete your account or specific data, open Settings → Delete account in the App. This opens our secure deletion request page in your browser, where you choose between closing your entire account or removing selected data only (such as photos, comments, or submitted places), while keeping your account active.

We verify every request by email before deleting anything, to confirm it is really you. Verified requests are processed within 7–30 days. Selected data is removed from our active systems within 30 days after verification, and we do not keep it after that period unless a longer retention period is required by law, security, or fraud-prevention obligations.

Submitting the request form stores the email address and description you provide in our database, so that we can verify you own the account and act on the request. That record is deleted once the request has been completed.

Reports are retained. When content is reported, the report — including the copy of the reported content described in section 1 — is kept even after the original content has been deleted. We keep it to prevent abuse, to support the decision that was made, and to recognise repeat offenders. This applies whether the content was removed by us or deleted by the person who posted it.

Account & Data Deletion: Request deletion

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 years of age. If you believe we have collected personal information from a child under 13, contact us and we will delete it.

9. User-Generated Content, Reporting, and Moderation

Registered users may submit comments, media, and touristic site information. Inappropriate content, including nudity, sexually explicit material, graphic violence, hate speech, illegal content, or harassment is prohibited.

Reporting. The App includes a report feature that lets anyone viewing the App — including users browsing without an account — flag content they believe is inappropriate. You can report:

Accounts are not reported directly. Where a comment is reported, our moderation team can act on the account that posted it.

To report content, open the menu next to a comment, or tap the flag icon on a site listing, select a reason, and optionally add details before submitting. No account is required to submit a report. Section 1 explains what a report records.

Blocking. If you are signed in, you can block another user from the menu next to one of their comments. Once blocked, their comments no longer appear for you. Blocking affects only your own view of the App — it is not a report, and the person you block is not notified. You can see everyone you have blocked, and unblock them at any time, under Settings → Blocked users.

Review and enforcement. Our team reviews submitted reports and may remove the violating content, suspend the account responsible, or both. A suspended account is signed out of the App and shown a notice explaining the suspension, and cannot sign back in. If you believe your account was suspended in error, contact us at the address in section 11.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated Effective Date. Continued use of the App after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
