We reserve the right to use, process, share and otherwise make use of your non-personal information without limitation, subject to applicable law.
We or our service providers acting on our behalf may collect the following information:
- Registration, Account, and Transaction Information: When you register an account, create a profile, make an online order, use the chat feature, or otherwise engage with the App, you may provide personal information, including your first and last name, date of birth, gender, and photo.

Information Collected Automatically
In addition to information you submit through the App, we may collect certain information using automated tools or tracking technologies. Tracking technologies allow us to improve the App, our products, and our services. When you download, access and use the App, it may use technology to automatically collect:

There are a variety of tracking technologies that may be included the App. These are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. Some use device identifiers, or other identifiers such as “Ad IDs” or may use “SDKs, to associate app user activity to a particular app and track user activity across apps and/or devices. SDKs are blocks of code that may be installed by third party companies. SDKs can provide information on how individuals interact with the App and collect certain information about the device and network used to access the App, such as the advertising identifier associated with a device and information about interactions in-app. Some mobile app-related tracking technologies can only be disabled by uninstalling the App. To uninstall the App, follow the instructions from your operating system or device. Apple and Google mobile devices have settings that may allow you to limit certain types of tracking.
We or our business partners may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the App. This can be to associate different devices you use or to provide you relevant content.
We may use analytics services to analyze our App users and how they use the App. Information generated by these services (e.g., your IP address and other Usage Information) may be used for purposes such as evaluating your use of the App, compiling statistic reports on the App’s activity, and providing other services relating to App activity.
