We are writing to appeal the suspension of our Firebase Hosting project dg-style-chooser

This is a false positive. Our application is a legitimate business tool, not phishing.

What our application does:

We operate LiveStory and DamnGood, two digital magazines that feature content creators.
Our web application allows potential creators to browse visual style preferences and submit applications to be featured in our publications.
The form collects standard contact information (name, email, Instagram handle) that creators voluntarily provide to apply for partnership opportunities.
Why this is NOT phishing:

We are a registered business operating at joindamngood.com and joinlivestory.com.
We do not impersonate any other brand or service.
We do not ask for passwords, financial information, or any sensitive credentials.
The data collected is used solely for our creator partnership program.
Our custom domain is a verified business subdomain.
Additional context:

The project is connected to our verified business Google account

We have active Firebase Authentication, Firestore, and Storage services supporting real business operations.
The application has been in development and testing phase, which may have triggered automated detection.
We respectfully request that you review our application and restore access to our hosting services. We are happy to provide any additional documentation or verification of our business legitimacy if required.

hi ​@rblackler 

Our forums in the GCSCommunity are specifically dedicated to supporting our security products and operations.  Are you a Google Cloud customer?  If so, any appeals would need to be submitted through the Google Cloud Console, select the project in question (dg-style-chooser), and access the appeals page for that project.
