We take reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your personal data, including:

Local device encryption (iOS sandboxing and secure CoreData implementation)

No cloud storage or server transmission

Protection against unauthorized access or data leakage

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of storage is 100% secure.
