• Media Access: Required to allow you to upload images, videos, documents, and other media files from your device to build your digital portfolio.
• Write Permission: Required to save and cache your portfolio data, templates, and media files locally on your device for performance and potential offline viewing.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
