We will never use your personal information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. If you opt in to marketing communications, you may unsubscribe at any time.

4. Do We Share Your Personal Information?

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: With trusted third-party providers who assist us in operating the App (e.g., cloud storage providers, payment processors if applicable). These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and may only use your information to perform services on our behalf.

Encryption of data in transit (via HTTPS) and at rest (for stored information)
Secure password hashing for user accounts
Regular security audits and updates to App software
Access controls limiting who within our organization can view your information

While we take steps to protect your data, no online service is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials (e.g., password) confidential and not sharing them with others.
