We may, in the future, receive information about you from third-party sources, such as service providers, partners, and public sources.

Currently, the primary third-party access is for debugging, as outlined in Section 2.2.

3. How We Disclose Your Information

We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:

Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers who help us to operate, maintain, and improve the Service, such as hosting providers, analytics providers, and payment processors. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and only use it for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
Legal Authorities: We may disclose your information to law enforcement agencies, government authorities, or other third parties if required by law or legal process, or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or other corporate restructuring, we may disclose your information to the acquiring company or other successor in interest.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include:

Encryption: Using encryption to protect data in transit and at rest.
Access Controls: Limiting access to your personal information to authorized personnel only.
Security Monitoring: Implementing security monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents.
Regular Security Assessments: Conducting regular security assessments to identify and address vulnerabilities.

However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.

5. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We will also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
