4. Data Storage & Security

We take data security seriously and use modern, industry-standard protections to safeguard your information.

SquaDD stores and manages data using Supabase, a secure backend platform that is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS provides one of the most secure cloud infrastructures in the world, offering:

• Encrypted data storage and transfer
• Secure server environments
• Regular security audits
• Compliance with leading security standards (including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR-supporting practices)

Supabase also implements additional security measures such as:

• Role-based access control (RLS)
• Protected authentication and authorization
• Encrypted database connections

Although we follow best practices and use trusted infrastructure, no system can guarantee absolute security. However, we consistently work to maintain a highly secure environment for your data.

• Access your data
• Edit or delete profile information
• Delete your account

SquaDD does not include any external links, third-party advertisements, or promotional content. We do not use third-party advertising networks, marketing trackers, or ad-based monetization systems inside the app. All features within SquaDD are native to the platform, and users are not redirected to external websites or services as part of the core experience.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Significant updates may be communicated in the app.
