When a user communicates with Gumacu through Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, or another third-party social service, information may also be processed by the operator of that platform under its own privacy policy and terms.
Gumacu may use official APIs and authorized integrations provided by these platforms to receive messages, manage communications, access authorized Page information, publish content, manage comments, or perform other approved platform functions.
Meta Platforms and other social media providers operate independently from Gumacu and may collect or process information according to their own policies.

No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. International Transfers

Where required by applicable law, Gumacu will use appropriate contractual, technical, or organizational safeguards for international transfers of Personal Data.
12. Data Deletion
Users may request deletion of Personal Data associated with Gumacu services.

Disconnecting or removing a third-party social media integration may prevent future access through that integration but may not automatically delete information previously stored by Gumacu. Users who want previously stored Personal Data deleted should follow the deletion instructions above.
13. Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children.
Gumacu does not knowingly seek to collect Personal Data from children in circumstances where parental or other legally required authorization would be necessary.
If we become aware that Personal Data has been collected from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to address the information appropriately.
14. Third-Party Websites and Platforms
The Service may contain links to or integrate with third-party websites, services, or platforms.
Gumacu does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.
Users should review the privacy policies and terms of any third-party service they use, including social media platforms.
This Privacy Policy applies to information processed by Gumacu and does not replace the privacy policies of Meta Platforms or other independent third-party services.
