The developer does not collect, store, or transmit personal data via the App. App content (e.g., notes, references, preferences) remains on your device unless you actively export/share it via your own services.
6. Security & Encryption
The App uses platform-provided cryptography (e.g., system keychain/secure storage and modern OS APIs) to protect local data at rest. Encryption mitigates risk but cannot guarantee absolute security against vulnerabilities, device compromise, or platform defects outside the developer's control. Keep your device updated and create backups of important files.
7. Third-Party Services & Accuracy
The App may display trends, statistics, or references sourced from third-party providers or public endpoints. Availability, latency, coverage, and accuracy can vary. The developer does not warrant that all information is timely, complete, or error-free, and is not responsible for outages, changes, or inaccuracies originating from third parties.

You are granted a limited, non-transferable license to use the App on devices you own or control. You may not reverse engineer, redistribute, or use the App to violate laws, infringe IP, or introduce malware.
9. Purchases & Refunds (if applicable)
If the App offers in-app purchases or subscriptions, pricing is shown at point of sale. Billing is handled by the platform (e.g., Apple App Store / Google Play). Refunds follow the respective store's policies unless otherwise required by law.
10. Intellectual Property
The App's code, UI design, and branding are owned by the developer. Third-party names and trademarks remain their property.
11. Disclaimers
The App is provided "as is" and "as available." The developer disclaims all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. No guarantee is made that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; lost data; loss of profits; or business interruption arising from use of or inability to use the App.
13. Changes to the App or Terms
Features may change or be discontinued without notice. The developer may update these Terms; continued use after updates constitutes acceptance.
14. Governing Law & Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany and applicable EU regulations. Courts in Germany have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer protection rules.
