8. International Data Transfers

Darty is developed and operated in the United Kingdom.

While we are based in the UK, the third-party service providers we use (such as Sentry and Expo) may process technical data in their respective global data centers to provide crash reporting and update services. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and international data transfer frameworks.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data:

• Local game data is stored securely on your device using Android's app sandboxing
• Data transmitted to third-party services (Sentry, Expo, EAS Insights) is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS
• We use industry-standard security practices for all integrations

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do:

1. The "Last Updated" date at the top will change
2. We will notify you via an in-app notice or update notes
3. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy

Your Responsibility: Review this policy periodically for changes
