2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used to enhance your experience and improve the app's functionality. Specifically, we use your data for:

- Responsibility for the accuracy and management of attendance records lies with the user.
4. Data Storage and Retention
All timetable data, attendance records, and reminders are stored locally on your device. You can delete this data at any time by clearing the app data in your device settings. However, data collected by Firebase Analytics and Meta Audience Network cannot be deleted by users and is subject to their respective privacy policies.

6. Notifications
The app uses both Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and local notifications to deliver reminders and updates:
- Local Notifications: These are used to remind you of your scheduled periods based on the timetable you set within the app. Local notifications are managed directly on your device and do not require an internet connection.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM): This is used to deliver push notifications, including app updates, changes to this Privacy Policy, and other important announcements. These notifications require an internet connection.
Both types of notifications are integral to the app's functionality and cannot be disabled separately. If you do not wish to receive notifications, you may choose to stop using the app.
