4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or share your information with third parties, except:

PureStream integrates with YouTube to provide audio stream search and playback functionality. We are not responsible for YouTube's privacy practices. We encourage you to review YouTube's Privacy Policy.

10. Children's Privacy

PureStream is not specifically designed for children. However, since the application does not collect any personal information and requires no registration, children can use it safely. Parents should be aware that the app accesses YouTube content, which may have parental control considerations.
