5. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate security purposes.

6. Cookies & Local Storage

iBetu uses browser local storage to keep you signed in (auth token). We do not use third-party advertising cookies. We may use first-party session cookies for security purposes. You can clear local storage at any time via your browser settings, which will sign you out.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including TLS encryption in transit, hashed passwords (bcrypt), and access controls. No system is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@ibetu.app.

8. Children's Privacy

iBetu is not directed at users under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that a minor has created an account, we will delete it promptly.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• •Access the personal data we hold about you.
