Data Usage for Advertising
We use some of your data to deliver, measure, and improve advertisements within the application, which may include personalized or non-personalized ads. While we do not "sell" your personal data for monetary gain in the traditional sense, sharing data with ad networks may be classified as a "sale" or "sharing" under certain privacy laws like the CCPA.

We do not share your data with third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

Essential Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including data hosting (e.g., Cloudflare, Neon Database), email delivery, and real-time syncing (e.g., PartyKit).
Advertising Partners: We may partner with third-party advertising networks to display ads within the application. These partners may collect and use your device identifiers and usage data to serve relevant advertisements, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud.
By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on the application to help customize your experience, improve our security, and deliver advertisements.

Essential Cookies: We strictly use essential cookies required for user authentication, security, and storing your preferences.
Third-Party SDKs and Tracking Technologies: We integrate third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) and tracking technologies provided by our advertising partners. These technologies are used to collect information about your interactions with ads, measure advertising performance, and serve more relevant content.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Account Deletion: You may request the deletion of your account at any time. Deleting your account will cascade and permanently remove your email, username, habits, chat messages, and social connections from our active database.
