Last Updated: 18/01/2024

Introduction

Welcome to Peerwalk. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process, and disclose your information, including personal information, in conjunction with your access to and use of the Peerwalk platform.

Information We Collect

• Account Information: When you sign up for a Peerwalk account, we do NOT require any personal information. Storing an email addresses is optional. The display name and the avatar image can be anonymous. The exception is if you sign up via Google and Github where your username is an email address and is therefore stored.

• Communications with Peerwalk: When you communicate with Peerwalk, we collect information about your communication, including message content (stored encrypted at rest) and its metadata (e.g. user ID, display name, avatar url).

• Your Github Source Code: Your source code does not leave your device (except when you query your code against a third party AI). We only store file metadata (e.g. repo ID, file ID, file name) used to identify the files needed for each review request and to fetch from Github locally.

• Firebase Analytics: Our app uses Google Firebase Analytics, a service provided by Google, to collect data about app usage and user interaction. This information helps us understand how our users engage with the app and to improve our services.

• Data Collected by Firebase Analytics: The types of information collected by Firebase Analytics may include: User Interactions: Information on how users interact with our app, such as the features they use, the actions they take, and the time they spend on the app. Device and Usage Data: Information about the device used to access our app, including device model, operating system, unique device identifiers, and app version. Performance Data: Data about app performance issues, such as app crashes, slow app loading times, and other system issues. User Engagement Data: Data on user engagement and retention, such as the frequency and duration of app usage.

• Use of Data: This data is used to analyze and understand user behavior, enhance app functionality, improve user experience, and for other business analytics purposes.

• Data Sharing and Disclosure: The data collected by Firebase Analytics may be shared with other Google services for additional analysis and marketing purposes. However, it is not shared with third parties for their independent use except as expressly disclosed in this policy.
