Last updated: 9/20/2026

Welcome to our Privacy Policy. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of sensitive user and device data we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to protect it in accordance with Google Play Console policies and general data protection standards.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to provide and improve our services:

Personal Information: If you create an account, we collect your email address and name.
Device and Usage Data: We may collect non-identifiable information such as device type, operating system version, and application interactions to monitor performance and improve the user experience.
Sensitive Data: We do not collect background location, contacts, or other highly sensitive device data unless explicitly requested and granted through in-app permissions for specific features.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used strictly for the following purposes:

To provide, maintain, and improve the application.
To manage your account, authenticate users, and synchronize your preferences (like bookmarks).
To monitor app performance, analytics, and resolve technical issues.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal or sensitive device data to third parties. We may only disclose your data:

If required to do so by law or subpoena.
To protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. You have the right to request the deletion of your account and all associated data at any time via the Profile settings within the app.

5. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including HTTPS encryption, to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While we strive to protect your data, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
