Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 16, 2025

PurpleOwl LLC ("PurpleOwl," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website purpleowl.io and provides the Firebase Client Setup Wizard and related tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our services.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including your name and email address when you contact us, subscribe to updates, or request information about our services.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect this usage data.

1.3 OAuth and Temporary Access

Our Firebase Client Setup Wizard uses Google OAuth to provision Firebase projects in your Google Cloud account. This process works as follows:

When you use the Setup Wizard, you authorize temporary access to your Google account through Google's OAuth consent flow. We use this access solely to create a Google Cloud project, add Firebase services, create a Firestore database, register a web application, and deploy your application to Firebase Hosting.

Immediately upon completing the setup process, we programmatically revoke our OAuth access token. We do not retain any ongoing access to your Google account or the Firebase project we created. You can verify this at any time by visiting myaccount.google.com/permissions.

We do not store your Google account credentials, OAuth tokens (beyond the brief setup period), or any data from your Google account.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes: to provide and maintain our services, to communicate with you about our services, to analyze usage patterns and improve our website and tools, to send you marketing communications (with your consent where required), and to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect information:

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. You can learn more about Google's practices at policies.google.com/privacy and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google Cloud Platform: When you use our Setup Wizard, you interact directly with Google Cloud Platform and Firebase services through your own Google account. Google's Privacy Policy governs their collection and use of your data.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us analyze traffic, remember preferences, and improve functionality.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may limit some features of our website.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable 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.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Usage data is typically retained for shorter periods unless used for security purposes or to improve our services.
