3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We may share information with:

  • Service providers: Hosting providers (e.g., Vercel), CDN services, and email providers that help us operate the Service. These providers only process data on our behalf and under our instructions.
  • Analytics providers: To understand traffic and usage patterns (data is aggregated and anonymized where possible).

9. Third-Party Services

The Service may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites and services (e.g., Google Play Store, social media platforms). These third parties have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external services. We encourage you to review their policies before sharing any data with them.
