We believe in protecting your privacy by keeping your information where it belongs - with you.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

  • With your consent: We may share your information with third parties if you give us explicit consent to do so

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include:

  • Encryption of data stored on your device
  • Secure transmission of data when necessary
