Privacy Policy

Caldron Technologies Inc ("us", "we", or "our") operates the myTome.com website and related mobile applications (the "Services"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our Services and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Services. By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service, accessible here.

You control what information is shared and can revoke this permission at any time.
