2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

App Functionality: To operate, maintain, and provide all features of the App, including saving your personal vocabulary lists, tracking your progress (level, streak, score), administering tests, and enabling your access to paid subscription features.
Account Management: To create, verify, and manage your user account.

3. Data Storage and Security

Storage Location

All user-generated content critical to the App's function, including your **personal vocabulary lists** and performance statistics, is securely stored on a **database hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS)**.
We use industry-standard security measures and AWS's security protocols to protect the data we store against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information and App data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Services. If you choose to delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information from our active databases, although some information may be retained in our backups for a limited time as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

4. Third-Party Partners and Disclosure

We engage with third-party partners to provide essential services:

Payment Processors: Subscription payments are processed by the respective app store (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play) or a dedicated payment gateway. We do not directly store your sensitive financial information.
Hosting and Infrastructure: Your vocabulary data is stored on secure servers provided by **Amazon Web Services (AWS)**.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, or investigate fraud.

5. Your Choices and Rights

Account Information: You can access, review, and update your account information directly within the App's settings section.
