This marketing website is static and does not use analytics or advertising cookies.

If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy before doing so.

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the service, comply with law, and resolve disputes.

You can delete your account from the app under Profile → Settings → Delete account. You can also request deletion by emailing us from the same address registered on your account. See our delete account page for steps.

When an account is deleted, we remove or anonymise associated personal data as implemented in our systems, except where retention is required by law.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including secure authentication and access controls on our systems.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

If changes are material, we may also notify you through the app or by email where appropriate.
