3. Third-Party Service Providers

We share information with the following service providers who process data on our behalf:

RevenueCat processes subscription and purchase management. They receive your user identifier and purchase transaction data. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

We may use PostHog for product analytics to understand how users interact with the App. Analytics may include user identifiers to track usage patterns. See PostHog's Privacy Policy.

4. Data Retention

We retain your information as follows:

• Account data: Retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for legal and business purposes

Third-party providers may have their own retention policies. Google's retention of audio data processed through Gemini API is governed by their data retention policies.

5. Deleting Your Data

You can delete your account directly within the App through your Profile settings. Account deletion will:

Important: Deleting your account does not automatically cancel any active subscriptions. You must cancel subscriptions separately through your Apple ID settings before or after deleting your account.

Some data may be retained as required by law (such as purchase records for accounting purposes) or may persist in third-party systems according to their retention policies.

To request additional data deletion or for questions about your data, contact us at [TODO: Contact Email].

7. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.
