If you purchase a subscription, payment is processed by Apple (via the App Store) and/or Stripe. Through these services we may receive limited information associated with your transaction, such as your name, email address, or payment method details. We do not directly collect or store full payment card numbers. This information may also be shared with intermediate payment processors involved in completing the transaction; these intermediaries are outside of Suuqe LLC.'s control and are governed by their own privacy policies.
