Some anonymized analytics data may be transmitted to Firebase Analytics.
EarSafely does not sell or share personal user data.
Limited information may be shared with service providers strictly for operational purposes:
No custom backend servers currently collect user data.
EarSafely currently does not display advertisements.
The application also does not use advertising identifiers for ad targeting.

Reasonable safeguards are implemented to protect stored data. Information stored locally uses standard mobile storage systems such as SQLite databases and SharedPreferences.
While reasonable security practices are used, no system can guarantee complete security.
