- Regular security audits and updates
- Secure authentication protocols
- Limited access controls for our team members
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We Do Not Sell Your Data
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information or photos to third parties for marketing or any other purposes.
We may share limited information only in these specific circumstances:
- Service Providers: Trusted third-party services that help us operate our application (cloud infrastructure, analytics)
- Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and safety
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition (with continued privacy protection)
- With Your Consent: Any other sharing will only occur with your explicit permission
Your Rights and Choices

Data Retention

When you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain certain information for legal or regulatory purposes.
