4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

5. Data Retention
We retain your account information and Customer Content for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you cancel your account, we retain your Customer Content for a limited period to allow you to retrieve it, after which it may be deleted, except where retention is required for legal or legitimate business purposes.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete it. California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of certain sharing — Plankore does not sell personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@plankore.ai.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
