Our app is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security

We use standard security practices to safeguard the app and any temporary data exchanged with third-party APIs. However, since we do not collect or store personal data, the risk of personal exposure is minimized.
