1. Introduction

Welcome to Lucid Tools! We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with transparency and care. This Privacy Policy explains how Lucid Tools ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you use our web application (the "Service").

By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that is necessary to provide and improve our Service. This information is collected in the following ways:

a. Information You Provide Directly:

The primary way we collect information is through the authentication process. Lucid Tools uses Google Sign-In and Firebase Authentication to create and manage your user account. When you choose to sign in with your Google Account, we collect the following personal information directly from Google:

• Name: Your full name as registered with your Google account.
• Email Address: Your primary email address. This will be used as the main identifier for your account and for communication purposes.
• Profile Picture: Your Google account profile picture (if you have one).

b. Information Collected Automatically:

When you use our Service, our servers, hosted by Firebase (a Google service), may automatically collect certain information to ensure the security and functionality of the app:

• Log and Usage Data: This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages or features of our Service you browsed, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.
• Device Information: Information about the device you use to access the Service, such as the device model and unique device identifiers.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Service. For example, cookies are used to maintain your session and remember your authentication state. These are essential for the functioning of the Service. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain the Service: To authenticate you as a user, create your account, and allow you to access and use Lucid Tools. Your name and profile picture may be displayed within the application to personalize your experience.
• To Communicate With You: To send you important notices regarding your account, service updates, changes to our policies, and to respond to your inquiries and support requests sent to our contact email.
• To Secure Our Services: To monitor for and prevent fraudulent, abusive, or unauthorized activity.
• To Comply with Legal Obligations: To meet legal requirements and respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

Your privacy is paramount. We do not sell your personal information. We only share your information with third parties in the following limited circumstances:

• With Our Service Providers: We use Google's Firebase platform to authenticate users and host our application. As such, your data is processed by Google. You can learn more about how Google handles data in its Privacy Policy.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our Terms of Service; to protect the security or integrity of our Service; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Lucid Tools, our users, or the public.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active with Lucid Tools. If you choose to delete your account or request that we delete your information, we will delete your personally identifiable information (Name, Email, Profile Picture) from our active databases. Please note that we may retain anonymized or aggregated data indefinitely and may retain some account information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

6. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement reasonable measures to protect it from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We rely on the robust security infrastructure of Google Cloud and Firebase Authentication, which includes features like secure data storage, encrypted communications (using HTTPS/TLS), and secure credential handling.

However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
