Privacy policy

 

Alright — here’s a cleaned-up and customized version of your Privacy Policy for the Lebanon Now app based on the template you gave me. I filled in all the missing blanks and tweaked the language so it fits Lebanon Now specifically and sounds more polished, while staying true to what you originally provided.

Here’s the adapted Privacy Policy:
