We may share information in the following ways:

With Other Users

With Service Providers

We use third-party service providers to operate the Service. These providers may process information on our behalf.

For example, Winlo uses Firebase services provided by Google for functionality such as authentication, cloud storage, database hosting, and push notifications.

These providers are allowed to process information only as needed to provide services to us, comply with law, or protect their systems and users.

For Legal, Safety, and Security Reasons

We may access, preserve, or disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or government request
• Enforce our Terms of Use
• Investigate possible violations
• Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of Winlo, users, or others

Business Transfers

If Winlo is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or transfer to a company or legal entity, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Third-Party Services

Winlo may rely on third-party services for authentication, hosting, cloud storage, database functionality, push notifications, security, crash reporting, or related app operations.

These services may include:

• Apple services, such as Sign in with Apple
• Firebase services provided by Google

Your use of these services may also be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Firebase provides privacy and security information about its services, including how Firebase handles security and privacy for app developers. Winlo uses Firebase to help operate core app functionality.

6. Photos and User Content

Photos, posts, comments, profile images, habit descriptions, group names, and other content you submit may be stored and displayed in the app.

Depending on the feature, this content may be visible to other users in your group.

You are responsible for the content you upload. Do not upload content that includes private, sensitive, confidential, or personally identifying information that you do not want others to see.

7. Push Notifications

If you allow notifications, Winlo may send push notifications related to:

• Habit reminders
• Weekly challenge reminders
• Group activity
• Feed activity
• Leaderboard updates
• Account or app updates

You can disable push notifications at any time through your device settings.

8. Account Deletion

You may delete your account through the app.

When you delete your account, we will delete or de-identify personal information associated with your account unless we are required or permitted to keep certain information for legal, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, backup, or legitimate business purposes.

Some content or records may remain in limited or de-identified form if needed to preserve group history, leaderboard integrity, app functionality, safety, or legal compliance.

Apple requires apps that support account creation to let users initiate account deletion from within the app.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent abuse, and support legitimate business purposes.

When information is no longer needed, we will delete, de-identify, or aggregate it where reasonably practical.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children’s Privacy

Winlo is not intended for children under 13 years old.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to Winlo, please contact us at support@winlo.app.
