Under California Civil Code § 1798.83, California residents may request once per calendar year a list of Personal Information (if any) disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year.

12. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION
12.1 Retention Principles
Personal Data are retained only for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy and to comply with Applicable Law. Retention periods are determined by:
(a) the original purpose for collection;
(b) contractual, legal, or regulatory obligations (e.g., fraud prevention, tax, accounting); and
(c) the applicable statute of limitations.
12.2 Local Storage & User-Controlled Deletion
The App stores Personal Data locally on the Device only. Because the Services do not require user registration or maintain user accounts, you may permanently erase such data at any time by:

(b) Uninstalling the App.
Upon either action, all locally stored Personal Data are irreversibly removed from the Device.
12.3 Residual Server Data

12.4 Statutory Exceptions
