1. Information We Collect

To improve and provide our services, we collect the following information:

a) Information You Create in the App

• App Data: The information you generate and save within the App, such as saved accounts in the "Saved Accounts" section. Important: This data is stored exclusively locally on your device and is not transmitted or stored on our servers.
• Screenshots and Shared Content: If you use the sharing feature, the app may generate an image (screenshot) of the current calculation to be shared. This image is processed on your device and passed directly to your operating system's native sharing menu (iOS or Android). We do not store these images or track who or through which application you share them with.

b) Information Automatically Collected

When you use our App, we automatically collect certain information to display ads and ensure the proper functioning of premium features.
