Contacts
If you grant contact access, we use contact data to help identify people you may know, show relevant classmates, and support invite flows. You can change contact permissions in your device settings.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us host the service, verify phone numbers, process purchases, send notifications, store data, measure app performance, and keep the service secure. We may also share information when required by law or to protect our users, rights, and service.

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce our agreements. You may request account deletion from within the app where available.
Children
Valid is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
Security
We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
