No other individuals, companies, or third parties have access to your data. We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers or any other third party for commercial purposes.
In the unlikely event we are required by law to disclose your data — such as in response to a court order — we will notify you unless legally prohibited from doing so.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Specifically:
  • Your practice data and profile information is kept until you clear it using the Clear My Data button in the app or request full account deletion

  • If you unsubscribe from our mailing list, your email address is removed from Kit promptly

  • Adding new features or services such as payment processing
  • Changes to third party services we use such as Firebase, Kit, or future providers
  • Changes in applicable law or best practices
When we make a significant change to this policy we will notify you by sending an email to the address associated with your account and displaying a notice inside the app when you next sign in.
Continued use of TVC Music Online Studio after a policy change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
10. Children's Privacy
