Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2025
What we collect
We collect the minimum amount of information needed to run Zip Knowd:
- Phone number (for authentication via Firebase Auth)
- Home ZIP code (to show you the right neighborhood feed)
- Display name and handle (chosen by you)
- Optional GPS location (only when you explicitly allow it, to verify your ZIP or drop a map pin)
- Posts, replies, likes, and reposts you create
What we don't do
We don't sell your data. We don't track you across the web. We don't use your data to train AI models. Your posts are scoped to ZIP codes and are not used for advertising profiling.
How we protect your data
All communications with Firebase go through Google Cloud Functions. Firebase Security Rules are ultra-restrictive and do not allow direct client-side database access. We use Firebase App Check to help prevent abuse.
