4.1 Local Storage

Your data is primarily stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This includes all personal information, financial data, gig records, gear inventory, and photos. Local data is encrypted and protected by your device's security features.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL protocols
• Encryption of data at rest on our servers
