4. Data Storage and Security

All app preferences and settings are stored locally on your device. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any data transmitted through our app. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Gold Rates may use third-party services for:

• Gold Price Data: We obtain gold price information from reliable third-party sources and APIs

• Crash Reporting: We may use crash reporting tools to identify and fix technical issues

These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies when using our app.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• With your explicit consent
• To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access any personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information
