Overview
SWOTPal ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the SWOTPal mobile application and related services (the "Service").
SWOTPal prioritizes your data privacy. We employ local-first processing for files, clear data ownership, and transparent AI usage policies.
