4. Data Storage and Third-Party Service Providers

Your data is stored on Supabase's servers, and while we control the data stored, Supabase may have access to this information as necessary to operate their services. For details on Supabase's data handling practices, please visit their Privacy Policy.
Sentry
We use Sentry to capture performance metrics and track crashes. This helps us maintain and improve the Service. The data sent to Sentry includes your email address, which we use to identify and track issues specific to your account. This allows us to provide better support and more quickly resolve any problems you may encounter. For more information on Sentry's practices, please refer to their Privacy Policy.
5. International Data Transfers
Bife is hosted on Vercel and uses third-party services such as Supabase and Sentry that may process and store your data in various locations globally. By using our service, you consent to the transfer of your data to these services. We strive to ensure that any international data transfers comply with applicable laws, but due to the global nature of our services, we cannot guarantee compliance with every jurisdiction's data transfer regulations.

We do not sell or trade your information with third parties. We may share your information only in the following situations:
- With Service Providers: We share data with Supabase for storage and with Sentry for performance monitoring and crash reporting.

7. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

You have the following rights regarding your information:
- Access: Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
