Third-Party Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services (such as Firebase and analytics tools). These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review their policies before interacting with them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
