Last Updated: January 31, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Harbor ("Harbor," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and discloses information when you use the Harbor application and related services (the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

You are not required to provide any information beyond what you choose to submit.

• Log data (crash reports, usage events)
• Approximate location (city/country level)

This data is used only for functionality, security, and improvement purposes.

Information from Third Parties

Harbor uses third-party login or integrations (e.g., Google, Apple):

• We receive basic account identifiers
• We do not receive passwords
• Data received is governed by the third party's policies

How We Use Information

Harbor uses information to:

1. Operate and maintain the service
2. Enable digital card sharing and storage
3. Improve performance and user experience
4. Communicate service-related messages
5. Ensure security and prevent abuse

We do not sell personal data.

How Information is Shared

We may share information:

• With service providers (hosting, analytics, authentication)
• If required by law or legal process
• To protect rights, safety, or security
• With user consent

All third parties are required to handle data responsibly.

User-to-User Sharing

Harbor enables users to voluntarily share contact information.

You are solely responsible for:

• What you share
• Who you share it with
• How others use your information

Harbor is not responsible for third-party use or misuse of shared data.

Data Storage & Security

Card profiles and received contacts are stored locally on your device. Authentication data is managed by Firebase (Google) in the cloud.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including encrypted peer-to-peer communication. However, no system is 100% secure, and we do not guarantee absolute security. You use the Service at your own risk.

Data Retention

We retain information under 3 criteria:

1. As long as your account is active
2. Necessary to operate the service
3. As required by law

You may request the deletion of your account and associated data.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access and correct your data
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent

To exercise these rights, a request can be made via email.

Children's Privacy

Harbor allows the use of the Service by users under the age of majority.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a minor has provided personal information without your consent, you may contact us to request review or deletion of such information.

Harbor relies on users and guardians to provide appropriate consent and does not independently verify age or parental authorization.

International Users

If you access the service outside the United States, you consent to the transfer and processing of data in the United States or other jurisdictions.

Changes to Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of changes.
