FitFido's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
6. Data Sharing & Security
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share information with secure third-party service providers (like Supabase) strictly necessary to operate the app, deliver our services, or when required by law.
7. Data Deletion & Retention
We retain your data only as long as your account is active.
