We ensure that any information we process is handled in a way that aligns with its intended purpose. We take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of the data we manage.

If you become aware of someone under 16 using the App, please contact us at [email] and we will take the necessary steps to remove their information and/or delete their account.
Links to Third-Party Websites The App may include links to external websites or services, but we are not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of those third-party sites. Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to the information we collect from you. If you access a third-party website or service via a link from our App, we recommend that you review their privacy policy.
Payment Information For certain features and services within the App, we may work with third-party payment processors.
For instance, we use Apple to handle payments related to subscriptions offered on the App Store. Please note that we do not collect or manage any banking, financial, or payment details; this information is processed and stored exclusively by Apple. You can contact Apple through their website: https://apple.com.
Apple Health We utilize Apple’s HealthKit framework, which serves as a central repository for health and fitness data on iPhones and Apple Watches. With your consent, this allows apps to interact with HealthKit to access and share relevant data. If you download our Apple Watch app when it becomes available, we may collect and process data such as your heart rate, obtained through the HealthKit and Apple CoreMotion frameworks. As new data types are added to HealthKit, they will be reflected within the relevant sections of the Fastingo App. If you grant the Fastingo App access to HealthKit, it can input information such as your steps and calories burned into specific areas of HealthKit. We will not connect or share your information with HealthKit, nor will your HealthKit data be shared with us, unless you provide explicit consent, which you can revoke at any time by adjusting your mobile device settings. The information you share with HealthKit is subject to Apple’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. We may analyze data shared by HealthKit to provide a personalized experience, encourage healthy habits, and support the delivery of our services. We do not use data obtained through HealthKit for marketing, advertising, or data mining, nor do we transfer this information to third parties for such purposes.
Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated \"Effective Date.\" You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
