By accessing or using the App, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, you are strictly prohibited from accessing or using the App.

We implement enterprise-grade, commercially reasonable security measures designed to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Encryption: All data transferred between your device and our servers is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS protocols.
Limitation of Liability: While we employ rigorous security protocols, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data, and you transmit such information at your own risk.
We retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Data is retained while your account remains active to provide continuous service.

If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take immediate steps to remove that information from our servers.
Peace Finder operates globally, and your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in facilities located in the United States or other countries where our service providers (such as Google) maintain servers. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and at our sole discretion. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised policy within the App or on our website. We will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this document to reflect the date of the latest revisions. Your continued use of the App following the posting of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
