It also describes the choices and rights that may be available to you depending on where you live.

We collect some information directly from you, such as account details, profile content, messages, support requests, and information you choose to share. We also collect some information automatically from your device or app activity, such as diagnostics, usage events, and security signals that help us operate and protect Edge.
Some information may be sensitive under certain privacy laws. For Edge, this may include:

We do not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with this Policy unless we provide notice or obtain consent where required by law.
Legal Bases Where Required
Where GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar laws apply, our legal bases may include:
- contract necessity
- legitimate interests
- consent where required
- legal obligation
The legal basis depends on the purpose of processing. For example, we may process account, profile, purchase, and messaging data to provide the service under our agreement with you; process safety and fraud signals based on our legitimate interests and legal obligations; and rely on consent where required for certain location, advertising, or optional settings.
How We Share Information
We may share information with:
- cloud hosting providers
- analytics providers
- payment and app-store billing providers
- customer support tools
- moderation and safety vendors
- law enforcement, courts, regulators, and legal advisors where required or permitted by law
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
When service providers process information for us, we expect them to use it only for authorized service-related purposes and to protect it with appropriate safeguards. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging it for money.
Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
Edge may use limited technical information to keep the app secure, understand performance, measure installs or campaigns, and improve the service. This may include:
- device advertising identifiers, where permitted by your settings and applicable law
We do not publish a full vendor list in this Policy. Where we use analytics, attribution, hosting, billing, or safety providers, we require them to handle information only for permitted service-related purposes.
You may be able to limit certain tracking or advertising identifiers through your device settings, including Apple's privacy controls. If you change those settings, some measurement, personalization, or attribution features may be limited.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Our retention approach includes:
- 90 days for inactive accounts
Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, account status, legal requirements, security needs, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, and child-safety obligations. We may retain limited records after account deletion where necessary to comply with law, prevent abuse, enforce our agreements, or protect users.

We may need to verify your request before responding. If we deny a request in whole or in part, we will explain the reason where required by law and provide information about any available appeal process.
International Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Data may be transferred internationally to the United States and other countries where our service providers and partners are located.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, which may include contractual protections and other lawful transfer mechanisms.
Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live, but we take steps designed to protect your information as described in this Policy.

- encryption in transit where appropriate
