We collect anonymized usage data through Firebase Analytics, including app interactions, feature usage (e.g., playback sessions, voice selections, cloud library browsing), session duration, listening minutes, and general device information. This data helps us improve the Application experience.

We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash logs, error reports, and performance diagnostics. This data is anonymized and used solely for identifying and resolving technical issues.
