3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as described below:
3.1 Service Providers
We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, data analysis, customer support, and marketing assistance. These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to provide the services we've requested and to protect your information with appropriate security measures.
3.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

We may disclose your information to protect the rights, property, or safety of Tide Calendar, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the services you request and for other legitimate business purposes, such as complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. When determining the retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

6. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include technical safeguards such as encryption and secure server storage, as well as administrative procedures to limit access to your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
