• Safety & Compliance – Detect misuse, fulfill legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service.
• Marketing (Opt-In) – Send you product updates, offers, or "glow tips" newsletters. You can unsubscribe anytime.

6. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

We rely on: (a) your consent; (b) performance of our contract with you; (c) legitimate interests (app analytics, security); and (d) compliance with legal obligations.

7. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

• Service Providers – Cloud hosting, analytics, email, and customer-support vendors under confidentiality agreements.
• Business Transfers – As part of a merger, acquisition, or sale (we'll notify you beforehand if your data becomes subject to a new policy).
• Legal & Safety – To comply with law or protect rights, property, and safety of Sunkiss AI, our users, or the public.
• With Consent – Any other sharing only with your direction and explicit consent.
• Aggregated/De-Identified – We may publish aggregated tanning-trend insights that cannot identify you.

8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

We are headquartered in Canada. Your data may be processed in Canada or other countries where our service providers operate. We take reasonable steps to ensure comparable protection for cross-border data transfers.

9. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law, then delete or de-identify it.

10. SECURITY MEASURES

• Industry-standard TLS encryption in transit.
• Photo storage on secure, access-controlled servers.
• Least-privilege access controls and routine security reviews.

No system is 100% secure, but we strive to protect your data with best-practice safeguards.

11. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Sunkiss AI is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. Parents who believe their child has provided us data should contact us for deletion.

12. YOUR RIGHTS & CHOICES

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to certain processing. Email sunkissdev@gmail.com to exercise these rights.

You can also:

• Edit or delete info in-app via Settings.
• Disable location access in iOS Settings (note: UV features require location).
• Opt out of marketing emails via the unsubscribe link.

13. COOKIES & SIMILAR TECH

Our website uses minimal first-party cookies for session management and analytics. You can control cookies via your browser settings.
