If a user nevertheless uploads content that includes personal data, this data may be made public as part of the service. Users can request the removal of such data at any time by contacting us at <a href="mailto:info@gastronomika.app" class="text-[#F53003] dark:text-[#FF4433] hover:underline">info@gastronomika.app</a>.

The Application may include links, integrations, or redirection features to third-party websites, including online shops or e-commerce platforms where products may be offered by third parties.
