Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data before downloading and using the App or Services. This App is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect personal data of children under the age of 16.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose.

For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific App feature.

SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION
We collect personal data and other data about you from the following sources:
Information you give us. You give us information (such as identity, contact and profile information) by filling in forms on the App and the Services or by corresponding with us (for example, by email or chat). You give us information when you register to use the App, subscribe to any of our Services, search for an App or Service, make an in-App purchase, share data via the App's social media functions, enter a competition, promotion or survey and when you report a problem with the App or our Services. You are not obligated to provide us with your personal data in all of the cases described above. However, without your personal data, you may not be able to use the App or some Services. For example, you may not register or create an account on the App without providing certain personal data, such as your name and age.
Information we collect about you and your device. When you use the App or Services, we automatically collect data about your device and usage information using cookies and other technologies.

We use GPS technology on your device to determine your current location. The App and Services require location data to function. You can turn off location visibility at any time in the settings button from the App’s main menu or disable location services on your device; however, doing so means you will be unable to use the App or the Services. Among other purposes, your location data is necessary in order to permit other users to search for users in their own region. In addition, if you have background location services enabled on your device, the App will use these services to determine if you have changed your location in order to allow you to search for users in your area or for other users to identify that you are in their area. You can disable background location services in your device’s settings, but this might restrict the effectiveness or functionality of the App or Services.
