## Data Storage and Security

### Local Storage Only

All personal data (notes, QR history, pomodoro records, preferences) is stored **locally on your device** using:

- Room Database (SQLite)

- SharedPreferences

We **do not** operate servers that collect or store your personal data.

We fetch weather information from third-party weather APIs. When you use the weather feature:

- Weather APIs may have their own privacy policies

### Exchange Rate Data (If Applicable)

Currency conversion rates are fetched from public APIs:

- Only currency codes are transmitted

### Android System Services

The App uses standard Android system services (Camera, Microphone, Alarm Manager) which are governed by Google's privacy policies.

## Data Sharing and Disclosure

We **do not** sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

- **With Your Consent:** When you explicitly choose to share data (e.g., exporting notes, sharing QR codes)
