We do not sell, trade, rent, or lease your personal identification information to third parties. We may share information under the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or government authority, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or protect the rights, property, or safety of Edodu, our visitors, or the public.

8. Data Security

The security of your personal information is extremely important to us. Edodu employs industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

9. Children's Privacy

Edodu does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 for EU residents). Our app reviews and tech guides are designed for a general audience. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our servers.

Our website contains links to external websites, app stores (such as the Google Play Store or Apple App Store), and developer pages. Edodu does not host software or app downloads directly. When you click on a link that takes you to an external site, you are leaving Edodu. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or download security of these third-party websites. We strongly recommend reading the privacy policies of any external site you visit.

Edodu reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.
