Your data is stored on secure servers provided by Vercel (hosting), Neon (database), and Vercel Blob Storage (file storage).

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these limited circumstances:

• With Recipients: Content you send (voice messages, text) is shared with recipients you specify
• Service Providers: Third-party services that help operate our app (Firebase for auth, SendGrid for email, Vercel for hosting)

Art Bounce is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.
