• The application does not use NFC functionality in the background.

4. Third-Party Service Providers (Data Sharing)
To operate our service, we use trusted third-party service providers. We share only the minimum necessary data with these providers, and they are restricted from using your data for their own purposes. Our service providers include:

• Google Firebase & Google Cloud Platform (Firestore, Storage, Hosting, Authentication) for secure cloud database storage and user authentication.

These services process data according to their respective privacy policies:

5. Data Storage and Security (Encryption in Transit)
All user data is securely stored using the cloud infrastructure provided by Google Firebase.
Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted in transit using secure HTTPS protocols.
While we use industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, please note that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

6. User Content
Users may upload profile photos and add external links, payment information, and other custom content to their profiles. Users are solely responsible for the content they publish through the application. Toch does not automatically verify or moderate all user-generated content, but reserves the right to remove content that violates our terms.

7. Account and Data Deletion
We provide users with full control over their data. You can request the complete deletion of your account and all associated personal data at any time.
How to delete your data:

Data Retention: Upon a verified deletion request, all your personal data, profile information, and associated links will be permanently deleted from our active databases and servers within 30 days, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

8. Children's Privacy
The Toch application is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take immediate steps to delete it from our servers.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or regulatory requirements. Updated versions will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
