Climfy Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. About This Policy
Climfy shows you the climate around you, and the carbon behind everyday things. Check your local climate risk, air quality, and outdoor safety; log daily climate actions to build a streak; scan a product, barcode, or receipt and Climfy estimates its carbon impact; and track your footprint over time. This policy explains what data we collect to make that possible, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.
2. What We Collect
Your Account
• Email address — used for login and account recovery • Password — managed by Firebase Authentication; Climfy never sees it • Username — set by you at signup • Profile photo — optional, stored in Firebase Storage • Google or Apple tokens — only if you use social sign-in
Your Scans & Climate Data
• The product, barcode, or receipt image you capture • Items extracted from a scan, their estimated carbon (kg CO₂e), and tier • The date and running totals used for your dashboard • Climate actions you log (e.g. taking transit, eating plant-based) and your check-in history • Your approximate location (city/country) — detected via GPS or set manually — used to show local climate risk, air quality, and outdoor safety • Articles you save from Climate Headlines
App Preferences
• Notification settings (on/off per type, including climate risk alerts) • Language preference • Feedback you voluntarily submit • Onboarding completion status
3. How We Use Your Data
• Power core features: scanning, your carbon dashboard, local climate risk/air quality, and your climate action streak • Determine local climate conditions for your area from your location • Generate the weekly "This Week in Climate" digest and climate news feed • Generate and send your weekly carbon impact report by email • Send notifications according to your preferences • Understand usage patterns through aggregated, anonymized data to improve the app
4. AI-Powered Features
Scan analysis
Scan images are sent to our AI provider to read the item and estimate carbon, then processed and not retained beyond what's needed to return your result.
This Week in Climate
Your weekly climate digest is generated by AI from climate news and data sources, then cached for speed. It is not personalized from your individual in-app activity.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell your data. We work only with the providers needed to run Climfy: • Google Firebase — database, authentication, file storage, and cloud functions • RevenueCat — subscription and payment handling • OpenAI — scan analysis and weekly digest generation (not retained) • Open-Meteo — climate risk, air quality, and temperature trend data for your location • NewsData.io — climate news headlines We may also share data when required by law or to protect user safety.
6. Security
• Firebase Firestore and Storage run on Google's enterprise-security infrastructure • All data in transit is encrypted over TLS/HTTPS • Passwords are handled solely by Firebase Authentication — we have no access to them • Your scan images and saved items are stored with owner-only access controls • All payment processing is handled by RevenueCat, Apple, or Google — Climfy never touches payment details
7. Your Rights
You stay in control of your data: • View your scans anytime in the app • Edit your username and profile photo in Account Settings • Delete individual scans • Delete your entire account — and everything linked to it — via Settings → Account → Delete Account Deletion is permanent and removes all scans, saved items, and profile data from our servers.
8. Children's Privacy
Climfy is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn that a child has created an account, we will delete the data immediately.
9. Updates & Contact
We may revise this policy as Climfy grows. Significant changes will appear as an in-app notice. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised terms. For questions or concerns about your privacy: contact@climfy.tech
