By using the Simtar application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us when you create an account, including your email address, display name, and quit date. We also collect usage data such as app interaction patterns, feature usage statistics, and smoking/vaping tracking data that you voluntarily enter.

Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data for research purposes related to smoking cessation. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating the app, provided they agree to keep your information confidential. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.
Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption methods. We use Firebase and cloud services with appropriate security measures to protect your information. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
