By accessing and using the App and/or Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Service, which together make up the Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in our Terms of Service. If you do not want us to use your information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy, you should not use the App or Services. We are not responsible for any External Sites linked from the App, or other third-party websites or apps.

1. Personal Information. When you create an account with the App, you will be required to provide us with personal information about yourself, such as your name, e-mail address, username and password, phone number, and other personal information (collectively, the “Personal Information”). We do not collect any Personal Information from you when you use our App or use our Services unless you provide us with the Personal Information voluntarily (for example, by creating an account with the App, sending us an e-mail, or interacting with us via our social media pages). Any such social media outlets are operated by the social networks themselves and are subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies.

Such information is collectively called the “Geolocational Information.” Collection of such Geolocational Information occurs only when the App is running on your mobile device. You may decline to allow us to collect such Geolocational Information, in which case we may not be able to provide certain features or functionalities to you.

For example, we take reasonable measures to limit access to this information to authorized employees and contractors who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our App and Services. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide reasonable security for data we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit on or through the App or Services and you do so at your own risk.
