4. Advertising and Consent
Depending on your country or region, applicable laws may require us or our advertising partners to obtain consent before using certain information for advertising purposes.
Where required, the App may display a consent interface that allows users to make choices regarding advertising and related data processing.

6. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through the App.
Data transmitted between the App and supported third-party services is generally protected using encrypted network connections such as HTTPS or TLS.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for analytics, diagnostics, advertising, fraud prevention, security, service operation, and the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the third-party service processing the information.
Third-party service providers may retain information according to their own data retention policies.

- Access certain personal information
- Request correction of certain information
- Request deletion of certain information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
