With service providers: including Supabase (our backend infrastructure) and Flutterwave (payments), strictly to operate the app.

7. Children's Privacy

Fursa is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete it.
