### 2.1 Information You Provide

We use Firebase Analytics (by Google) to collect anonymous usage data, including:

We use RevenueCat to process in-app purchases. RevenueCat may collect:
- Purchase history and subscription status

RevenueCat does **not** collect your name, email, or payment details — those are handled entirely by Apple.
