Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Toronto App Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information when you use the Toronto mobile application (the “App”). A Privacy Policy informs users about data collection, storage, and usage practices for mobile apps and must be accessible at all times. Apple also requires a clear Privacy Policy URL in App Store Connect for apps that collect any personal data.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard safeguards (encryption in transit and at rest, access controls) to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure.

The App is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we’ve inadvertently done so, we delete it promptly.
