5. Personalized and Non-Personalized Ads
Depending on your region, consent settings, and device preferences, the App may show personalized or non-personalized ads.

The App may include protection features that detect conditions that interfere with ad delivery or app functionality, such as:
- VPN connections

This detection is used to protect the App’s advertising-supported model and maintain service availability. The App may limit functionality or display notices if ad-blocking conditions are detected.
We do not use this information to identify you personally.
7. Local Storage
Some email data, attachment metadata, cached files, app settings, and technical data may be stored locally on your device.
Local storage is used to:
