Highest Risk Categories

3rd-Party Sharing

Shares with service providers (billing, analytics, advertising). States may share in ways that 'meet the broad definition of sale under California law' with affiliates. YouTube API integration shares data with Google. Collects biometric information per California disclosures. Third-party ad tracking vendors used. Broader sharing than competitors with explicit acknowledgment of potential 'sale' under CA law.

Data Retention

Security Posture

DPF certified which requires some data security standards. No known major breaches. No bug bounty program found. Standard but undocumented security posture.
