## 18. Account Deletion
If you create an account, you may request deletion of your account from within the App where the feature is available, typically through the Account section.

After account deletion, you may lose access to synced data and may not be able to recover it.
Some information may remain for a limited period in backups, security logs, legal records, or systems where immediate deletion is not technically possible, but it will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
