When you sign in with Google or Facebook, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from the provider. When you use credential-based sign-in, we store a securely hashed version of your password. We also collect data you voluntarily enter such as carbon tracking entries, challenge participation, and forum posts.

• To authenticate and manage your account
• To display your environmental impact metrics and progress

We process your personal data under the following legal bases:

• Consent: When you create an account and agree to these terms
• Contract: To provide the service you signed up for
• Legitimate interest: To improve and secure the platform

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with third-party authentication providers (Google, Facebook) as necessary to enable sign-in, and with our database hosting provider to store your data securely.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time (see our Data Deletion page).

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Rectify inaccurate personal data
• Request erasure of your personal data
• Restrict or object to processing
• Data portability
• Lodge a complaint with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office)

We use essential cookies for authentication sessions. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. All connections use HTTPS in production. OAuth tokens are handled server-side and never exposed to the browser.
