Data Storage and Sharing
- Local storage: Your location data is processed locally on your device
- Third-party sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share your location data with any third parties
Third-Party Services

- Data Anonymization: Analytics data is processed anonymously and cannot be linked back to individual users
- Regional Compliance: Our data processing complies with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations
Encryption During Transmission
- All data transmitted between our app and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher)
- This encryption ensures that your location data and questions cannot be intercepted or read by unauthorized parties during transmission
