- In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
We do not sell personal information.
4. Content Moderation
We use automated systems and human review to detect and address content that violates our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines. Content you submit may be processed by automated moderation systems to help keep the Service safe.
5. Your Choices and Rights
You may access, update, or delete your account information through the app's Settings. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights, including the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or portability of your personal information, and the right to opt out of certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.
We will verify your identity before acting on a request. We may decline requests where permitted by law.
6. Account Deletion
You may delete your account in Settings. Deletion is processed over a 30-day period, during which your account is deactivated and hidden but can be restored. After the 30-day period, we permanently delete or de-identify your personal information, except where retention is required by law or necessary for security, fraud prevention, or legal claims.

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to or from the Service.
9. International Users
The Service is operated from the United States. If you use the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.
