App Integrity & Anti-Abuse (Firebase App Check & Play Integrity)

To protect Chatly and its users against bot attacks, fraud, unauthorized API calls, and app tampering, Chatly incorporates Firebase App Check powered by the Google Play Integrity API.

Firebase App Check collects device integrity signals, application binary signatures, and environment telemetry to verify that requests originate from an authentic, unmodified version of the app installed on a genuine device.

Integrity checks do not inspect or collect user messages, chat contents, or private communications.

Rewards & Referral Program Data

Chatly includes a Rewards & Streaks System and a Referral Program where users can earn points, daily streak bonuses, gifts, and premium perks (such as profile boosts or call passes) by engaging in the app, watching rewarded ads, or inviting friends.

To operate this feature, Chatly collects and processes:

This information is used strictly to administer the rewards program, deliver redeemed perks, and prevent referral fraud or system abuse.
