How We Store Your Information

​

We store your data on Firebase servers, which are protected by advanced encryption and security measures. Firebase employs various security techniques including encryption of data at rest and in transit to protect your personal information.

We will keep your personal data as long as you use the App. After you cease using the App or request deletion of your data, we will retain your information for an additional period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Once this period has expired, we will delete your data by removing it from our servers and any backups in a manner designed to ensure that it cannot be reconstructed or read.

​

 

International Data Transfers

​

We are based in the United States and use Firebase, a platform provided by Google, to store and process the data we collect through the App. Firebase operates globally and may store data in data centers located in the United States and other countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). These countries may not offer the same level of data protection as those within the EEA.

​

To ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection, we have ensured that Google incorporates Standard Contractual Clauses into our agreement. These clauses provide specific guarantees around the security and processing of data transferred outside the EEA.

​

By using the App, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information in and to the United States and other countries. We remain committed to protecting your data and upholding your privacy rights.

• To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it. 

• For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.

• With your consent.

• To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.

Data Security

​

We have implemented measures that aim to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. 

 

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) an encryption key, password, or other verification code for access to certain parts of our App, you are responsible for keeping this confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the App like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the App.

 

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through our App. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.
