Privacy

Aaru is the reading instrument of bimri's press. This policy describes what we collect when you use the Aaru app and website, and why.

Account

When you register, we store your email address and authentication identifiers through Firebase Authentication. You may add an optional display name and Salon privacy preferences.

Reading activity

Progress (scene position, time spent, percent) may be stored on your device and, when you are signed in, synced to Firestore so you can continue across devices. Highlights and favorites follow the same pattern.

Purchases and membership

Book ownership and Salon Circle membership are sold on the Aaru website. Payment is processed by our payment provider (currently Paystack). We store entitlement records after payment is verified server-side. We do not store full card numbers.

Salon

If you join a Salon, discussion text and optional voice notes you choose to post are stored so other members can read or hear them. Microphone access is used only when you record a voice reply.

Diagnostics

Crashlytics and Performance may collect anonymous diagnostics to keep the reader stable. You can learn more in the Firebase documentation for those products.
