Disclosure to Third Parties and External Services

Except where required by law, the App does not provide a User's personal information to a third party without that User's consent.

For operation of the App, data may be stored or processed as necessary through external services such as:

  • Backend and data storage: Supabase and similar services for authentication, databases, and storage.

Collected information is retained only for the period necessary to accomplish its purpose of use or for the period required by law. After that period, or when it is no longer needed, information is deleted or anonymized by reasonable means.

Security Measures

The App takes reasonable security measures, including access controls, to prevent leakage, loss, or damage to information. Due to the nature of internet communications, however, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
