We utilize Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In for secure authentication. These services provide us with your name and email address as permitted by your privacy settings with those providers.

When you use third-party authentication services, we receive limited information from these providers (such as your name and email address) as permitted by their privacy policies and your account settings. We do not store your authentication passwords; these are managed securely by the respective authentication providers.

We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

We ensure that any third parties we work with are committed to protecting your data and comply with applicable privacy laws.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices include:

• Secure authentication through trusted third-party providers
• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
