We share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, subject to contractual obligations to protect your data:
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Vanquish Inc., our users, or the public.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy.
Your data is stored on Google Firebase servers located in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer and storage of your data in the United States.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:
While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within thirty (30) days, except where retention is required by applicable law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.
You may access and update your personal information at any time through the Settings section of the app. You may also contact us at support@allergyguardai.app to request access to or correction of your personal data.

You may manage push notification preferences through your device's notification settings or through the Settings section of the app.
Location access is optional. You may deny or revoke location permissions through your device settings at any time. Denying location access will disable the GPS restaurant detection feature but will not affect other features of the Service.
Camera and photo library access is requested only when you use the menu photo scanning feature. You may deny these permissions through your device settings, though doing so will disable photo-based menu scanning.
AllergyGuardAI is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. The app is designed to be used by parents and guardians on behalf of their children. Allergy profile data entered for children is associated with the parent or guardian's account.
If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, please contact us immediately at support@allergyguardai.app and we will take steps to delete such information.
