- Compliance Orchestration: Using Google UMP to manage user consent settings in compliance with international law.
2. THIRD-PARTY LIBRARIES AND SDKS

- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Required on older Android versions to access your documents.

4. DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY

Security Measures: We use industry-standard libraries and secure third-party platforms (Google Cloud Infrastructure) to protect the diagnostic and ad-related data processed by our SDKs.
Malware Protection: We follow Google Play security guidelines to ensure the App is free from malware, spyware, and network misuse. No background data collection or covert network activity is performed.

Our App is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take the necessary actions to remove such information immediately.
6. COOKIES AND TRACKING
The App does not use browser cookies. However, the third-party Advertising SDK (AdMob) may use mobile identifiers (technically similar to cookies) to store and track basic usage information to avoid repetitive ad delivery and measure ad effectiveness.
Behavioral Remarketing: Services like Google Ads or Facebook may use anonymized data to show you relevant ads on other platforms. For Google's policy, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
