5. Firebase
NoteQuest uses Firebase services, provided by Google, for certain infrastructure and application features.

NoteQuest does not use the user's email address as a User ID in Firebase Analytics.
7. Advertising
The free version of NoteQuest may display advertisements through Google AdMob. The use of AdMob may involve the processing of certain technical information and information related to the display and interaction with advertisements.
Because NoteQuest may be used by children and teenagers, the application implements mechanisms intended to comply with applicable advertising requirements for children and users whose age has not been determined.

NoteQuest does not sell users' personal data.

Where international transfers of personal data occur, NoteQuest will adopt the measures and mechanisms required by applicable law.
11. Security
We adopt technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or improper destruction. The infrastructure used by the application also benefits from security mechanisms provided by Firebase and Google services. Despite the measures adopted, no electronic system can guarantee absolute security against all existing risks.
