I’m not sure what to answer for this compliance information when submitting the app for review in the Apple App Store.

I have a basic app that saves/retrieves data to/from Firebase Realtime DB, Airtbale, and photos to/from Cloudinary.

I didn’t use any encryption for my database or in my code. Does Thunkable do any encryption?

Hello @maptheunknown,

Thunkable apps do not use encryption, so you can answer “No” for this question.

Best,
