Third-Party Services

- Cloud Infrastructure: Our services are hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with industry-standard security practices.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:
- With Your Consent: When you explicitly agree to share information
- Service Providers: With trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating our service (such as Auth0 for authentication)
