3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:

3.1 With Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processors (e.g., RevenueCat). These providers have access to your personal information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated to protect your information.

3.2 For Legal Reasons

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

3.3 In Case of Merger or Acquisition

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Your Choices and Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

4.1 Access and Update

You can access and update your account information at any time by logging into your account settings. You are responsible for keeping your account information accurate and up to date.

4.2 Deletion

Users who have created an account (using email and password) can delete their account directly from within the Ethiopic List app by navigating to: Account > Delete Account

Once initiated, this process will permanently remove the user’s profile, posts, and associated data from our systems.

Note: This option is only available to users with registered accounts. Anonymous users/Guest accounts (those who browse the app without creating an account) do not have account data stored and therefore do not require a deletion option.

You may also request that we delete your personal information by contacting us at support@ethiopiclist.com. 

5. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no security measure is completely foolproof, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Please ensure that you protect your account credentials and avoid sharing sensitive information publicly.

6. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed toward individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete that information.

7. International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in the United States. If you access the app from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. By using the app, you consent to this transfer.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy in the App and revising the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
