This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App. Please read this policy carefully. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

• Profile information: First name, last name, phone number, age, and zip code.
• Assets: Which types of assets you own (e.g., car, house, bicycle, camera), selected from predefined categories. We do not collect detailed specifications such as make, model, or year.

• Crash and error data: When errors occur, our crash reporting service (Sentry) collects diagnostic information including error details, your user ID, and email address to help us identify and fix issues. Sentry may also record session replays (visual recordings of app interactions) for a small percentage of sessions to help diagnose problems.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing the use of your information. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. You can delete your account at any time from the Settings screen in the App. When you delete your account, your personal information is removed from our active systems immediately. Encrypted backup copies are retained for up to 90 days before being permanently deleted, in accordance with our backup rotation policy.

Sensitive credentials are stored using your device's secure storage (Keychain on iOS, Keystore on Android). However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
