  • Legal requirements: If required by Indian law, court order, or governmental authority

7. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement the following measures:

  • Encryption in transit: All communication between the app and our servers uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
  • Password security: Passwords are managed by Firebase Authentication using industry-standard encryption — we never see your password
  • Access controls: Admin access to user data is restricted to authorised personnel only
  • Firebase Security Rules: Firestore rules ensure users can only access their own data

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
