• Anonymous AR session data, used only for research and to improve the App.
  
  

This information cannot be linked back to you personally.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers.

Anonymous, aggregated data may be shared for academic research or scientific publications, but no individual user can ever be identified.
