Content you share publicly may also be discoverable through search engines and other third-party services.

3.2 With Service Providers

We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the purposes of providing their services to us and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our service providers include:

We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on the Service of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

3.5 With Your Consent

We may share your information with third parties when you have given us your explicit consent to do so.

3.6 Aggregated and Anonymized Data

We may share aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you with third parties for research, marketing, analytics, and other purposes.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. We may also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests. When your account is deleted, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a commercially reasonable time period, except where we are required by law to retain certain information or where retention is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and safety.

Certain information may persist in backup systems and cached or archived pages for a limited period after deletion. User Content that has been shared, remixed, or redistributed by other Users may continue to exist on the Service even after your account is deleted, to the extent described in our Terms of Service.

5. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or loss. These measures include:

• Encryption of passwords using industry-standard bcrypt hashing;
• Secure data transmission using HTTPS/TLS protocols;
• Access controls that limit employee and contractor access to personal information on a need-to-know basis;
• Regular monitoring and review of our security practices; and
• Use of reputable, security-audited third-party infrastructure providers.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of thirteen (13). In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), if we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at privacy@tenzlist.com so that we can take appropriate action.

8. International Data Transfers

The Service is operated from the United States. If you are accessing or using the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from, and potentially less protective than, the laws of your country of residence. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and other jurisdictions as described in this Privacy Policy.

Where required by applicable law, we will implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

9. Push Notifications

We use Expo Push Notifications to deliver real-time alerts about activity on the Service, including new followers, likes, comments, remixes, and other social interactions. When you enable push notifications, we store your Expo push notification token securely on our servers and use it solely for the purpose of delivering notifications to your device.

You may control which types of notifications you receive through the notification settings within the app. You may also disable all push notifications through your device's system settings. Disabling push notifications will not affect the core functionality of the Service, but you may miss timely updates about social activity on your account.

10. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated or controlled by Tenz. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, applications, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites, applications, or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites, applications, or services before providing any personal information to them or allowing them to collect information from you.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting the updated Privacy Policy on the Service and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We may also provide additional notice, such as a notification within the app or an email to the address associated with your account, for significant changes. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
