• Providing users (e.g., manufacturers) with insights and analytics dashboards related to their activity on the App, using their specific data.
• Generating aggregated and anonymized statistical data for internal analysis, platform trends, service improvement, and potentially providing benchmark insights to users. Such aggregated and anonymized data does not identify individual users.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We generally do not share your personal information with unrelated third parties for their independent use, except in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, crash reporting) who process your data on our behalf to help us operate and improve the App. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred.
• With Your Consent: For any other purpose with your explicit consent.

Aggregated and anonymized data may be used for platform analytics or benchmark insights and is not considered sharing of personal information.

4. Data Security

We declare that user data is encrypted in transit. We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, but no system is 100% secure.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, for active accounts, to provide services (including analytics dashboards), or as required by law. Aggregated and anonymized data may be kept for longer periods.
