2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, primarily focused on providing and enhancing your dating assistant experience:

• To Provide and Maintain the App: To create your account and operate the App's features (like profile management, message suggestions, match organization), and provide customer support.

• To Communicate With You: To send you service-related notifications, updates, security alerts, and support messages.
• For Security and Safety: To detect and prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and other harmful activities; to enforce our terms of service; and to comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Your Information

We understand the sensitivity of your data and limit sharing to the following circumstances:

• With Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf. These include:
  • Cloud Hosting: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to host our App's data and infrastructure.
  • Analytics & Crash Reporting: Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics to understand app usage and identify & fix issues.
  These providers are obligated to protect your data and can only use it for the purposes we specify.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we believe it's required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our terms and policies; to protect the security or integrity of our services; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or others.
• In Case of Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our App of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information for other purposes if we obtain your explicit consent.

4. Your Choices and Rights

You have control over your information. Here's how you can exercise your rights:

• Location Services: You can enable or disable location services at any time through your device's settings menu.
• Communications: You can opt-out of promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in those messages. You may still receive essential service-related messages.

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights regarding your personal data. Please contact us to exercise these rights.

5. Data Security

We take the security of your sensitive data very seriously and implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encryption, secure storage practices, and access controls.

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 information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. We may also retain information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When we no longer need your information, we will take steps to delete it or anonymize it.

7. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from someone under the age of 18 without verification of parental consent (where required by law, though our intent is 18+), we will take steps to remove that information.

If you believe we might have any information from or about someone under 18, please contact us at admin@wiseowlbuys.com.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
