Technology and providers
These are all the providers that process data of LEVIATHAN users. They only use the data to provide their service to us, under contract and with confidentiality and security obligations. We will announce on this page before adding a new one.
| Provider | Purpose | Data it receives | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase Authentication | Sign-in | Email, phone number or Google or Apple account | United States |
| Google Firebase Cloud Messaging | Notifications | Device notification identifier | United States |
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Detecting crashes | Device model and system, crash reports; never the advertising identifier | United States |
| Google Firebase Analytics | Measuring usage statistically, only if you turn on “Usage statistics” (off by default) | Device model and system, usage events; never sensitive data or the advertising identifier | United States |
| Google AdMob (free plan only) | Showing ads and verifying rewarded ads | IP address, device model, interaction with ads and the phone’s advertising identifier, which Google uses to limit repetitions and prevent fraud, and to personalize ads only if you accept it. Never your preferences, orientation, messages or other sensitive data | United States |
| Amazon Web Services (servers, database and storage) | Operating the app | Profile, messages, photos, videos and audio | United States |
| Amazon Rekognition | Detecting nudity to show it blurred | Profile photos and images sent by chat | United States |
| Amazon Rekognition (identity verification, only if you use it and give your biometric consent) | Liveness check and comparison of your selfie with your profile photos | Three verification photos and your profile photos; does not store your face | United States |
| Our own call server (TURN, on Amazon Web Services) | Connecting voice and video calls | IP addresses and the encrypted call stream; calls are not recorded | United States |
| Google Play (Billing and Developer API) and Apple App Store (StoreKit and App Store Server API) | Charging for purchases and subscriptions, and confirming to us whether a payment is valid, renewed, canceled or refunded | Product purchased, transaction identifier and subscription status; your card details are kept by the store, not by us | Depends on the store |
| Google Cloud Pub/Sub | Notifying us of changes to Google Play subscriptions | Purchase identifier and its status | United States |
How the app is built
- Communications between the app and our servers travel encrypted (HTTPS and WSS).
- Calls use WebRTC, end-to-end encrypted between the two phones; our server only helps connect them.
- Photos and videos are stored in private storage; they are only shown to those who have permission.
- The only advertising provider is Google AdMob and it only works in the free plan; in Plus and Elite it is not activated.
- On iPhone we ask for Apple’s tracking permission only if you accept personalized ads; if you deny it, Google does not receive the advertising identifier. On Android you can reset or turn it off from your phone’s Google settings.
