We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App, conducting our business, or providing services to you, such as Stripe for payment processing. These third parties are obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information.
c. We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or if we believe that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
c. Non-deterministic Nature of LLMs
Our App utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate responses to user queries. LLMs are non-deterministic, meaning that the responses generated by the App may vary and may not always be accurate or complete. Users are advised to always refer to the official source documents and websites provided by HUD to verify the validity and accuracy of the information provided by the App.

By using our App, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
