3. Sharing Your Information
We understand the importance of keeping your information private. We only share your information in limited circumstances:

We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice within the app if this happens and there are any changes to how your information is used.

4. Data Retention
We only keep your information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this privacy policy. Here's a more detailed explanation:
We will retain your personal information (like your account information) only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. We may also retain this information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Non-personal information (like usage data) may be retained for longer periods for analytical purposes. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
If you delete your account, we will make reasonable efforts to delete your personal information from our systems. However, some information may be retained in backup systems for a limited time.
5. Security
We take the security of your information seriously and have implemented measures to protect it. However, no online system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Here are some of the measures we take:
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Encryption: We use encryption to protect your data during transmission.
- Secure Storage: We store your data on secure servers with restricted access.
- Regular Security Assessments: We conduct regular security assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
While we strive to protect your information, please understand that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
