We do not share personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:

• With Your Consent: We may share information with third parties if you have provided explicit consent to do so.
• With Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party service providers (such as Firebase and Jitsi) to help deliver our services. These providers have access to information necessary for performing their tasks but are not permitted to use it for other purposes.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or if we believe it is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of users.

4. Data Security

We prioritize the security of your personal information and use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet-based service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
