## Information We Collect

All data is stored using your device's standard storage mechanisms (SharedPreferences on Android, UserDefaults on iOS) and remains on your device. This data is not backed up to cloud services and is not accessible to us.

## Children's Privacy

The Apps are designed for users of all ages, including children. Because we do not collect any personal information or data from our users, the Apps comply with children's privacy regulations including COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).

## Data Security

Since no data leaves your device, there is no transmission of data that could be intercepted. All settings and saved content remain securely stored using your device's standard security mechanisms.

## Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the Apps after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
