Introduction

Distill Digital LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you download, install, register with, access, or use the Rate It mobile application (the “App”), including when you use the App as a guest without creating an account, and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This policy applies only to information we collect through the App. It does not apply to information collected offline, through other websites or applications, or by any third party.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information. By downloading, registering with, or using the App—including using the App as a guest—you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not download, register with, or use the App.

Age Restrictions

The App is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a user under 16, we will delete that information. If you believe we may have collected information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at [email protected].

Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

When you register for an account or use the App (including as a guest), we collect the following information directly from you:

• Email address
• Name
• Username
• Account credentials (managed through Apple Sign-In, Google Sign-In, or Firebase Authentication)
• Any categories, ratings, and other content you create within the App

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the App, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device information (device type, operating system version)
• Crash reports and diagnostic information
• Product analytics data, including how you interact with the App, which features you use, and the frequency and duration of your activities

Product analytics data is collected to help us understand how the App is used, identify areas for improvement, and prioritize future development. This data is associated with your account or device identifier but is used only in aggregate or for internal analysis. We do not sell or share product analytics data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

• Firebase (Google) – for data storage, authentication, analytics, and crash reporting
• Apple Sign-In – for account authentication
• Google Sign-In – for account authentication

Firebase Analytics, a component of the Firebase platform, is used to collect product analytics data as described above. Firebase Analytics may collect certain information automatically, including device identifiers and usage data, in accordance with Google’s privacy policies.

These services may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the App
• Create and manage your account
• Enable you to create, store, and share categories and ratings
• Send you technical notices and support messages
• Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
• Analyze usage trends and feature adoption to inform product development
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• With other users, when you choose to share categories or ratings through the App’s sharing features
• With service providers who assist us in operating the App (such as Firebase)
• To comply with legal obligations, court orders, or legal processes
• To protect and defend our rights or property
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case you will be notified of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information

Sharing Features

The App allows you to share categories with other users. Sharing features require the Rate It – Shared Upgrade, a paid in-app purchase, and a registered account.

When you share a category, you control whether members can add their own ratings and whether members can manage the category. Members of a shared category may see your display name or initials as part of the collaborative experience.

Shared content is only accessible to users with a registered Rate It account who have been invited to the category. You are responsible for the content you choose to share and for managing the access permissions of your shared categories.

Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored securely using Firebase, a Google Cloud service. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your Rights and Choices

Account Deletion

You may delete your account and all associated data at any time through the App’s settings. Upon deletion, we will remove your personal information from our systems, subject to any legal retention requirements.

Data Access

You may access and review the personal information associated with your account through the App.

Analytics Opt-Out

You may limit the collection of product analytics data by adjusting your device settings. Disabling analytics collection will not affect the core functionality of the App.

Guest Access

The App allows you to use certain features without creating a registered account (“Guest Access”). By using the App as a guest, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, as disclosed on the App’s welcome screen.

When you use the App as a guest, we assign your session a temporary identifier and store any categories, ratings, and other content you create locally on your device. We may also collect the same automatically collected information described above (device information, crash reports, and product analytics data) to maintain and improve the App.

Guest data is subject to automatic deletion. If a guest account has not been used for 180 consecutive days, we will permanently delete the associated guest session and all data stored under it. We are not able to recover data deleted under this policy. To preserve your data, you may create a registered account at any time, which will migrate your guest data to your new account.

International Users

The App is primarily intended for users in the United States. If you access the App from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where our servers are located and our central database is operated. By using the App, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, through the App or via email. Your continued use of the App after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
