6. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access, correct, or delete certain personal information.

8. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13, or older minimum age where required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who do not meet the minimum age requirement.
9. International Data Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
10. Third-Party Services
The Service may integrate third-party tools, SDKs, payment platforms, app stores, analytics, diagnostics, advertising, or links. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review them.
CardLink Pro uses Google AdMob to provide advertising in some versions of the app. Google may process data such as device identifiers, advertising identifiers, approximate location derived from IP address, app interactions, ad interactions, diagnostics, and performance data for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices at Google Privacy & Terms and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
11. Advertising Choices
Your device may provide controls to reset or limit advertising identifiers and to manage personalized advertising. On iOS, Apple may ask whether you allow tracking when an app requests permission to use certain identifiers. On Android, you can manage or reset your advertising ID in device settings. Paid subscription plans are intended to suppress in-app ads where supported by the app version.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and may provide additional notice in the app or on this website.
