2. Information We Collect

The information collected depends on which application or service you use.

A. More Than Gains

More Than Gains allows users to track fitness activities, nutrition, fasting, weight, and faith-related activities.

Fitness and Workout Information

Users may voluntarily enter or generate information including:

This information is used to provide tracking, progress monitoring, and related application features.

Nutrition Information

Users may enter:

• Foods and meals consumed
• Calories and macronutrients
• Daily nutrition goals

• Product barcodes for nutritional lookup

More Than Gains may use Open Food Facts to retrieve publicly available food and nutritional information when a barcode is scanned or entered.

Barcode information may be transmitted to the food information provider to complete a lookup.

Faith-Related Information

Users may interact with features including:

• Daily scripture
• Prayer topics and reflections
• Prayer-related activities

• Device location
• GPS coordinates
• Distance traveled
• Motion and step-count information

Location and motion information are used to calculate and display walking and running activity.

Location access is requested through device permission controls. Users can modify or revoke access through their device settings.

We do not use walking or running location information for advertising purposes.

Apple Watch Integration

Where supported, More Than Gains may interact with Apple Watch or Apple health and fitness technologies to support walking, running, and related activity features.

Any access to health or fitness information is subject to the applicable permissions granted by the user.

Health and fitness information is not used for targeted advertising or sold to third parties.

Notifications

More Than Gains may send notifications for:

• Daily scripture
• Prayer topics
• Fitness reminders
• Fasting-related reminders
• Other user-enabled application notifications

Users can manage notification permissions through their device settings.

Data Storage

More Than Gains is designed to store personal fitness, nutrition, fasting, and faith-related entries locally on the user’s device.

The application does not require users to create an account to access its primary tracking features.

Certain optional functions, such as submitting feedback or suggestions, may involve transmitting information to a third-party service provider.

B. Kingston’s Kicks

Kingston’s Kicks allows users to create digital sneaker collections, organize albums, and share selected albums with other registered users.

Account Information

Kingston’s Kicks uses Google Firebase Authentication.

When users register, we collect and process:

• Email address
• Firebase user identifier
• Authentication-related information
• Account creation information

Firebase may process technical information, including IP addresses and device information, to provide authentication and security services.

Sneaker Collection Information

Users may voluntarily store:

• Sneaker brand
• Model and colorway
• Shoe size
• Personal notes
• Sneaker photographs
• Album names and descriptions
• Collection organization information

Personal collection information is generally stored locally on the user’s device unless selected for sharing or another cloud-supported function.

Sneaker Photos and Firebase Storage

Sneaker photographs are intended to remain stored locally on the user’s device when added to a personal collection.

When a user chooses to share an album, photographs included in that album may be uploaded to Google Firebase Cloud Storage so the intended recipient can view them.

Related image references and shared-album information may be stored in Firebase Cloud Firestore.

Photos that are not selected for sharing are not intended to be uploaded automatically.

Album Sharing

When users share albums, Kingston’s Kicks may store:

• Album identifiers, names, and descriptions
• Shared sneaker details
• Photo references
• Sender and recipient account identifiers
• Email addresses associated with sharing
• Sharing timestamps

This information is processed to deliver shared albums to the intended recipients and maintain album-sharing functionality.

Access to shared albums is managed through authenticated accounts and Firebase security rules.

Content Reporting

Kingston’s Kicks allows users to report shared albums for reasons including inappropriate photos, offensive content, harassment, spam, or other concerns.

When a report is submitted, the application may store:

• Reported album identifier
• Reporting user’s account identifier
• Album owner’s account identifier
• Report reason
• Submission timestamp
• Review status

Reports are used to evaluate content concerns, investigate misuse, and support user safety.

Reports are not publicly displayed to other users.

User Blocking

Kingston’s Kicks provides a feature allowing users to block other accounts.

When an account is blocked, the application stores the blocked user’s identifier and the date of the action.

Blocking is intended to restrict further album sharing and access between the affected accounts.

Users may manage and remove blocked accounts within the application.

Feedback and Suggestions

Users may voluntarily submit suggestions, bug reports, or other feedback.

Submitted information may include the user’s account identifier, message content, selected category, and submission timestamp.

This information is used to improve our services and address reported issues.
