Subscription and transaction records are retained for up to 36 months for accounting and dispute resolution purposes.
Anonymous analytics and advertising logs are retained for up to 36 months for aggregate analysis, then deleted or further anonymised.
6. Children's privacy
The App is not specifically directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
7. Security
All network traffic uses HTTPS/TLS encryption. Account passwords are cryptographically hashed. Database access is protected by row-level security policies ensuring users can only access their own data. Authentication tokens are refreshed automatically and stored securely on-device.

Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate data

If you are in the EU/EEA, these rights are provided under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are in Norway, the Norwegian Personal Data Act (Personopplysningsloven) applies.

9. International data transfers
Your data is primarily stored in the EU (eu-west). Some third-party services may process data outside the EU/EEA. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are in place, including safe handling of data and Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent measures.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to how we collect or use your data, we will notify you through the App. We will update the "Last updated" date whenever the policy changes.
