  • Operating, maintaining, and improving the App
  • Ensuring the security and stability of our services
  • Detecting and preventing fraud and abuse
  • Analyzing usage patterns to enhance user experience
  • Troubleshooting technical issues and bugs

We have assessed that these legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms, given the limited nature of the data collected and the technical purposes for which it is used.

5. How We Share Your Information

We are committed to protecting your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, we may share information in the following limited circumstances:

5.1 Third-Party Service Providers

At present, PinRush does not integrate with any third-party services. We do not share your information with advertising networks, analytics providers, or other third-party service providers. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly and, where required by law, obtain your consent.

5.2 Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (such as a court, government agency, or law enforcement). We may also disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to:

  • Comply with legal obligations, court orders, or legal processes

  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of papercatgaming@gmail.com, our users, or others

We may share aggregate, anonymized, or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. This information may be used for research, analysis, marketing, or other purposes and may be shared with third parties without restriction.

5.5 With Your Consent

We may share your information with third parties when we have your explicit consent to do so.
