When you sign in using Google authentication, we receive certain information from your Google account, including:

Payments inside the mobile application are processed through Google Play Billing.
Global Asset Rank does not store credit card information or payment details on its own servers. Payment processing is securely handled by Google Play.

3. Public Leaderboard
Global Asset Rank is a public leaderboard platform.
Certain user information may be publicly visible, including:

Leaderboard positions are determined by the total contributions made within the platform.
Users may contribute to their own profile or to other users, affecting rankings.
The leaderboard is dynamic and positions may change at any time based on platform activity.
A contribution does not guarantee a specific or permanent position on the leaderboard.
Global Asset Rank does not represent financial value, solvency, or investment performance.
Users who meet specific criteria may be featured in special sections such as the Hall of Fame or Legends.
4. User Content and Moderation
Users may provide content within their profiles, including:
- Public names
- Profile images
- Bios
- Sectors or categories
- External links
To maintain a safe platform, user-generated content may be automatically or manually moderated.
Content that contains offensive language, illegal material, explicit content, impersonation, or fraudulent information may be removed or restricted.
We reserve the right to suspend or remove accounts that violate platform rules or compromise the integrity of the Services.
5. External Links
Users may include external links within their profiles.
Users are solely responsible for the content and destination of links they provide.
Global Asset Rank reserves the right to remove links that lead to malicious, fraudulent, or illegal websites.
6. Image Processing
Profile images uploaded by users are processed through Cloudinary, a third-party media management service.
Images may be automatically scanned using moderation tools to detect explicit, illegal, or violent content.
Images that violate platform policies may be removed or restricted.
7. Data Security
User data is stored on secure cloud infrastructure located in the European Union, specifically in Germany (Frankfurt) using AWS and MongoDB Atlas.
We use industry-standard security practices including encryption of data:
- in transit

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to operate the Services and comply with legal obligations.
Users may request account deletion at any time.
