These providers have access to your information only to perform services on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Security

We use Google Firebase, which implements industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Services. We may also retain information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

6. Your Rights
