• Authenticate your account and keep your data secure.
• Generate your personal degree roadmap.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with third-party vendors (like Supabase for database hosting and our email service provider) strictly for the purpose of facilitating our services.

4. Data Security

We use standard, commercially reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
