FindMyItaly Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 18, 2026

FindMyItaly is a relocation and town-discovery application designed to help users explore and compare places to live in Italy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use FindMyItaly.

Information We Collect and Store

FindMyItaly allows users to provide profile information, which may include a display name, country of citizenship, residence, Italian location, age, place of origin, intended moving year, languages, household information, biography, and preferences. Some preferences and saved towns may be stored locally on your device.

Online account details, community profiles, connection requests, messages, reports, and user-block records may be processed and stored using Google Firebase services, including Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore.

Accounts and Authentication

FindMyItaly uses Firebase Authentication to support account sign-in and access. Authentication-related information, such as email addresses and user identifiers, is processed to operate and secure accounts.

Community and Messaging

Community profiles, connections, and messages use online services and are not limited to local device storage. Information you choose to include in a visible community profile may be accessible to other users according to your visibility settings. Messages are processed to provide conversations between users.

Reports and Moderation

Users may report other users for issues such as harassment, spam, or other inappropriate behavior. Reports and associated information may be stored and reviewed by authorized administrators for moderation and community safety. Administrators may take actions to manage reports and user blocks.

Blocking Users

Blocking a user restricts visibility and interaction between the affected accounts in community, connections, and messaging interfaces. Blocking does not automatically erase previously stored messages or connection records. Authorized administrators may manage blocks when needed for moderation or support.

Deleting Conversations

FindMyItaly provides a Delete Conversation option. Depending on the operation performed, removing a conversation from the interface may not remove all related information from cloud storage or from another participant's account. Do not assume that deleting a conversation also deletes your account or all associated personal data.

Network Access and Third-Party Services

FindMyItaly uses Google Firebase services for authentication, community, and messaging functionality. It may also retrieve town images, flags, and other public content or open external websites and property-search links. These services may receive technical information, including IP addresses and device or browser information, subject to their own privacy practices.

Location

FindMyItaly does not share your precise or real-time device location with other community users. Town distances and geographic comparisons use geographic reference information rather than live location sharing.

Analytics and Advertising

The current version does not include advertising SDKs and does not use Firebase Analytics for behavioral analytics.

Data Sharing and Sale

FindMyItaly does not sell personal information. Information is processed by service providers such as Google Firebase as needed to operate the app. Community profile information may be visible to other users depending on app features and profile visibility settings.

Data Retention and Deletion

Locally stored information may be removed by clearing app data or uninstalling the app. Information stored online may remain after uninstalling. Blocking a user or deleting a conversation does not necessarily erase all related cloud records.

To ask about your personal information or request account and associated data deletion, contact us at the email address below. We will review requests and respond in accordance with applicable requirements. Additional account-deletion options, if available, will be described in the app or on the website.

Data Security

FindMyItaly uses authentication and database access controls intended to restrict unauthorized access to online information. No electronic storage or transmission method is completely secure.

Children's Privacy

FindMyItaly is intended for adults and is not directed to children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when app features or data practices change. The updated version will be published at this page with a revised date.
