4. Third-Party APIs and Services
4a. Pinterest API
Our App integrates with the Pinterest API to read your boards and post pins. Your use of Pinterest is governed by Pinterest's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We access only the Pinterest data necessary to operate the App and do not store your Pinterest password.
4b. Amazon Product Advertising API (PA-API)
We use the Amazon PA-API to retrieve product information, images, and affiliate links. Amazon may collect data about API usage in accordance with their own privacy practices. Product links posted to Pinterest may include Amazon affiliate identifiers. Please review Amazon's Privacy Notice for more information.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:
• With Pinterest and Amazon as required to operate the App through their APIs
• With service providers who assist us in operating, maintaining, or improving the App, under confidentiality obligations
• When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with appropriate notice to you
6. Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the App's services or as required by law. API tokens are stored securely and can be revoked at any time through your Pinterest or Amazon account settings. You may request deletion of your account data by contacting us.
7. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use strong passwords and to revoke App access if you suspect unauthorized use.

9. Children's Privacy
This App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the effective date at the top of this document and, where required, by providing additional notice. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
