Data Storage

All data is stored locally on your iPhone using UserDefaults (a secure, private storage system provided by iOS).

• Data remains exclusively on your device.
• Optional iCloud backup: If you have iCloud backup enabled for the App, your data may be backed up to your personal iCloud account (controlled entirely by you and protected by Apple's iCloud security).

Data Export and Deletion
