Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of data after you click on links to such outside websites, or applications.
6. Your Choices Regarding your Data
(a) Do Not Sell My Info
If you are using our App, you may opt out of the sale of what is deemed your personal information (what we refer to as Anonymous Data), namely device advertising ids, that allow advertisers to target advertising to you based on interests.
Your iOS or Android mobile device provides a “Limit Ad Tracking” or “Opt out of interest-based advertising” setting. When you have used this setting on a device, our advertising partners, will not use information collected from that device to infer your interests or serve ads to that device that are targeted based on your inferred interests.
You can find the setting for your mobile device by following the directions below.
iOS Device:
Your iOS device may provide a "Limit Ad Tracking" setting. Enabling the Limit Ad Tracking feature does not block Ads from collecting data from your device activities, but it limits the ability of companies to send you targeted and interest based Ads.
1. Open the "Settings" app.
2. Tap "Privacy".
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap "Advertising".
4. Toggle the "Limit Ad Tracking" switch on.
More information about the iOS setting can be found here.
Android Device:
Your Android device settings may allow you to "Opt out of Interest-Based Ads."
On Android 6.0 or higher:
1. Open "Settings"
2. Look for "Google Services & Preferences" and tap on it
3. Tap on "Ads"
4. Toggle the "Opt out of Ads Personalization" switch on.
Android 5.1 or lower:
1. Open "Settings"
2. Tap "Accounts"
3. Tap "Google"
4. Tap "Manage your Google Account" (This will open up a new page with your Account information)
5. Tap "Data & Personalization"
6. Scroll down to "Ad Personalization"
7. Tap "Go to ad settings"
8. Toggle "Ad Personalization" switch to OFF
When you opt out, you may still see the same number of ads from our advertising partners on your mobile device; however, these ads may be less relevant because they won’t be based on your interests. Our advertising partners may continue to serve you ads based on other non-personal information, such as ads related to the content of the application you are using.
(b) Changes to Your Data
You may request deletion of your Anonymous or Personal Information by us, but please note that we may be required to keep this information and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements).

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee its absolute security. Transmission of personal information to and from our App is at your own risk and we advice you to only access the App within a secure environment.
