You may withdraw consent at any time.
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not allow brands to influence your results. We share data only with service providers that help us run the app:

We may also disclose information if required by law.

We keep scan images [CONFIRM: only momentarily to process them and do not store them / for X days]. Scan results are retained [CONFIRM: on your device / for as long as your account is active]. You can request deletion at any time (see "Your rights").
8. International transfers
