5. How We Use Information

We process your personal information for lawful and legitimate purposes, including:

• To create, authenticate, and manage your user account.
• To provide the core features and functionality of LocalShare.

• To notify you about critical security alerts, software updates, and policy revisions.
• To detect, prevent, and mitigate fraudulent usage, security breaches, or terms violations.
• To comply with legal obligations, regulatory disclosures, or enforceable law enforcement requests.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party data brokers, marketers, or advertisers.

We may only share information in the following limited situations:

• With Authorized Service Providers: Trusted infrastructure and hosting partners who operate on our behalf under strict data processing agreements and confidentiality obligations.
• For Legal & Compliance Reasons: If required by court order, applicable statute, or regulatory requirement.

• With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit prior consent.

7. Data Security

We implement comprehensive technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

• All network transmissions between your device and our endpoints are encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3).
• Sensitive stored credentials are salted and hashed using industry-recommended cryptographic standards.
• Access to internal database records is strictly restricted to authorized engineering personnel on a need-to-know basis with multi-factor authentication.

While we strive to employ commercial safeguards to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% immune from vulnerability.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was gathered, including:

• Maintaining your active account on LocalShare.
• Providing you with ongoing customer service and product features.
• Complying with applicable legal, accounting, tax, or reporting requirements.

When personal data is no longer required, it is either securely deleted from our production systems or irreversibly aggregated and anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you.

9. Account Deletion & Data Erasure

In accordance with Google Play Developer Policy requirements and data protection laws (such as GDPR and CCPA), you have the right to request the permanent deletion of your account and all associated personal data at any time.

You do not need to be currently logged into the app or have the app installed to submit a deletion request.

How to request deletion:

• Visit our dedicated, publicly accessible web portal: Request Account Deletion
• Or email our privacy desk directly at: support@localshare.infotechs.co.in

Upon receiving your request, we verify your authorization, initiate data decommissioning, and purge or anonymize your personal records. Note that certain minimal transactional or security audit logs may be retained where strictly required by governing law. Once an account is deleted, some information may not be recoverable.

10. Children's Privacy

Our application and services are not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or process personal identifiable information from minors.

If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately at support@localshare.infotechs.co.in. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our active databases.

11. Third-Party Services & SDKs

LocalShare may utilize third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) and cloud APIs solely for operational functionality (such as cloud hosting, crash reporting, or platform push notifications).

The specific third-party services integrated with our application include:
