- Provide core app functionality (independence checking, watchlist management)

## Data Sharing and Disclosure

- We do not collect your personal data
- Data you create in the app remains on your device
- We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services
- We do not sell, rent, or trade any user information
---
## Third-Party Services
IndyCheck does not integrate with third-party services that collect user data. The app operates independently without:
- Analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, etc.)
- Advertising networks
- Social media SDKs
- Crash reporting services that collect personal data
- Third-party authentication providers
---
## Data Security
While we do not collect or transmit your data, we take the following measures to protect information stored on your device:
- Data is stored using the device's native secure storage mechanisms
- The app does not expose data to other applications
- No data is transmitted over the internet
- The app uses standard HTTPS for any network requests (such as fetching company information)
---
## Data Retention and Deletion
### Your Control Over Your Data
You have complete control over all data stored by IndyCheck:
- Clear History: Remove all check history from within the app (Profile > Clear History)
- Clear Watchlist: Remove all watchlist items from within the app (Profile > Clear Watchlist)
- Delete App: Uninstalling IndyCheck removes all locally stored data permanently
### No Server-Side Data
Because we do not store data on servers, there is no server-side data to delete. When you delete the app, your data is gone.
---
## Children's Privacy
IndyCheck is a professional tool designed for audit professionals and is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used this app, please note that no personal data is collected or stored externally. Deleting the app removes all local data.
