Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share limited information only with trusted service providers that help us operate MedCafe, such as hosting providers, analytics tools, crash-reporting services, payment-related providers, and security services.
We may also disclose information if required by law or if necessary to protect MedCafe, its users, or the public.
Data Storage and Retention
Your data may be stored on secure infrastructure provided by trusted third-party services. We keep data only for as long as needed to operate the platform, provide access to content, meet legal requirements, and protect the security of the service.
When data is no longer needed, it may be deleted or anonymized.
