It is important to note that the responsibility for storing and managing these backups lies solely with the user. The location where these backups are stored, such as local device storage or cloud storage services, is determined and controlled by the user.

Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of the user to take appropriate measures to restrict unauthorized access to their device. Users are advised to implement device-level security measures, such as device passcodes, biometric authentication, or encryption, to protect their data from unauthorized access.

"Parrot Workout Tracker" emphasizes that all userdata is stored locally on the user's device, and the security and protection of this data rest solely with the user. It is crucial for users to keep their device and the data stored within it secure to prevent any unauthorized access or data breaches.

"Parrot Workout Tracker" advises users to exercise caution and avoid entering any sensitive or personally identifiable information into the application. While the app takes measures to ensure the security of stored data on the user's device, it is always recommended to refrain from entering sensitive information, such as financial details, personal identification numbers, or sensitive health information, into the application.

By refraining from entering sensitive information, users can further safeguard their personal data and minimize any potential risks associated with storing sensitive information within the app. It is the user's responsibility to exercise caution and discretion when providing any personal or sensitive information within the application.
