Privacy Policy

Our Mission & Privacy Commitment

At thesuck.app, our mission is to help you take back control of your subscriptions. We believe "everything is a subscription" shouldn't mean your financial freedom disappears. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information to deliver our subscription audit service.

Last updated: January 2025
