We do not sell personal information for money. If our use of analytics, advertising, or affiliate tools is considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California law, you may opt out by using [Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information URL] or by contacting us.

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent abuse, and keep business records.
Newsletter information is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to suppression lists needed to honor opt-outs. Account information is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward unless deletion is requested or legal retention is required.

Local app data remains on your device until you delete it, clear app data, or uninstall the app.
