Third-Party Sign-In Services

Google Sign-In

When you sign in with Google, your authentication is handled by Google's secure infrastructure. We only receive your email address and name. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Apple Sign-In

When you sign in with Apple, your authentication is handled by Apple's secure infrastructure. You can choose to hide your email address, in which case Apple provides us with a private relay email. For more information, see Apple's Privacy Policy.

Data Storage and Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the limited data we collect:

• Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard protocols (HTTPS/TLS)
• Secure authentication mechanisms through trusted providers (Google, Apple)
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Limited access to data on a need-to-know basis

However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
