5. Data Storage and Security

Your account data and decks are stored in Supabase, which may process data in the EU and/or US depending on project configuration. We use encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and rely on our providers' encryption at rest.

We retain your data while your account is active. If you request account deletion, we delete or anonymize personal data within 30 days, except where we must retain certain records for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We use reasonable safeguards, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.
