Give & Get ("we", "us") is operated by Saroja Gadepalli. This policy explains what information the Give & Get app collects, why, and how you can control or delete it.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address | Sign-in and account identification |
| Chat messages | Sent only within a single accepted exchange, visible only to the two people in it, so you can arrange the handover — no new messages once the exchange ends, but existing messages stay visible to the two of you as part of your own history |
| Display name | Shown on your listings and to people you interact with |
| City / locality (self-entered) | Lets nearby people find your listings — we do not collect precise GPS location |
| Book cover photos | Shown on listings you create, optional |
| Ratings, reports you submit, app activity (books shared/requested) | Keeps the community trustworthy |
We never ask for or store payment information, government ID, your exact home address, or your phone number. Give & Get is not a marketplace — there is no payment flow in the app at all.
We never sell or share your data with third parties for advertising.
All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS). Passwords are handled entirely by Firebase Authentication and are never stored on our own servers.
Book listings and wanted posts expire automatically after 20 days if not renewed. If you delete your account, your display name and sign-in credentials are removed immediately. Ratings you've given or received remain visible to the other participant, so their own rating history stays accurate — no contact information is retained in them. Chat messages you sent remain visible only to the other participant of that exchange, as part of their own history.
Give & Get is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
If this policy changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above.
