Firebase operates under its own privacy and security standards.

We only share data in the following cases:

• With service providers (e.g., Firebase) to operate the App

• When required by law or legal process

• To protect the safety, rights, or property of users or the App

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including:

• Secure cloud storage

• Authentication protections

• Encrypted data transmission where applicable

However, no system is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active.

If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, unless retention is required by law.

8. Your Rights

10. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services, including:

• Firebase

• Apple Inc. (In-App Purchases)

These services may have their own privacy policies.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be reflected with an updated “Effective Date.” Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the revised policy.
