Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Balance Point Center handles information when you use the Balance Point application or visit balancepointcenter.com. Balance Point is an economic intelligence and decision-support product designed to organize economic data, research, and source material into a more usable framework.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the application, we may process information such as:

• Account and authentication information, including an email address and account identifiers when sign-in is used.
• Information you intentionally enter into the application, such as preferences, saved settings, or other app-related data.
• Technical information necessary to operate and secure the service, such as device, application, browser, network, or diagnostic information made available by the operating system or service providers.
• Requests and communications you send to support@balancepointcenter.com.

3. How information is used

Information is used only as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve Balance Point; authenticate users; preserve user settings or app data; troubleshoot technical issues; respond to support requests; and protect the service from misuse.

4. Firebase and service providers

The Balance Point application uses Google Firebase services, including Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore, for application functionality such as user authentication and cloud data storage. Information processed through these services may be handled by Google in accordance with Google's applicable privacy and security terms.

5. Economic data and external sources

Balance Point presents economic information and links to third-party or official sources. When you follow an external source or use an embedded browser to view another website, that website may collect information under its own privacy policy. Balance Point Center does not control the privacy practices of those external websites.

6. Sharing of information

Balance Point Center does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers only when needed to operate the application or website, comply with law, protect rights or security, investigate misuse, or complete a business transition where applicable.

7. Data retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing the service, maintaining records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service involved.

8. Data security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so users should also protect their account credentials and devices.

9. Your choices

You may contact us to ask questions about information associated with your use of Balance Point, request correction or deletion where applicable, or raise a privacy concern. Some information may need to be retained where required for security, legal, accounting, or operational reasons.

10. Children's privacy

Balance Point is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the service, contact us so the issue can be reviewed.

11. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the Balance Point application, website, or supporting services change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
