We use session cookies to maintain your authentication state when you access protected areas of our website. These cookies are essential for the authentication functionality and are stored securely. Session cookies expire after 30 days of inactivity or when you log out. You can clear these cookies at any time through your browser settings, which will require you to authenticate again.

You can request deletion of your authentication data at any time by contacting us at info@sqrls.ai or by logging out, which immediately clears your session.

9. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to store and process your email address. These service providers are required to maintain appropriate security measures and are bound by their own privacy policies. We do not share your information with any other third parties except as required by law.

For authentication to protected areas of our website, we use Google OAuth. When you sign in with Google, Google shares your email address with us for the sole purpose of verifying your access permissions. We do not receive or store any other information from your Google account. Google's use of your information is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can revoke our access to your Google account at any time through your Google Account settings.
