2. Nature and Purpose of Third-Party Content • Third-party content such as libraries and AI-generated material is used in the app primarily in a supplementary role, enhancing the overall functionality and user experience. • The third-party service, Google Firebase, is integrated for app performance analysis and issue resolution. 

3. Licensing and Permissions • We ensure that all third-party content used in the Gourmet Timer app is appropriately licensed or falls under fair use provisions. This includes adherence to the terms and conditions set by the content providers. • For AI-generated texts and images, we use platforms that provide content under licenses that allow for commercial use within apps. 

4. Attribution and Credits • Where required, appropriate attribution for third-party content is provided within the app. • We make efforts to display these attributions in a manner that is clear but non-intrusive to the user experience.

6. Responsibility and Liability • The Gourmet Timer app respects copyright and intellectual property rights and takes necessary steps to avoid any infringement. • We include disclaimers and limitations of liability regarding the use of third-party content to inform users of their rights and our responsibilities. 

7. Updates and Changes to Third-Party Content • We regularly update the app to ensure the third-party content used remains current and effective. • The app does not include specific procedures for addressing outdated or deprecated third-party content, as the nature of the content used does not typically require such measures. 

8. Compliance and Legal Considerations • We comply with relevant legal considerations, including GDPR and CCPA, in the use of third-party content. This involves ensuring that any data collection or processing aligns with these regulations.
