Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

  • Application refers to LightWatch, the software program provided by the Company.

  • Business, for the purpose of CCPA/CPRA, refers to the Company as the legal entity that collects Consumers' personal information and determines the purposes and means of the processing of Consumers' personal information, or on behalf of which such information is collected and that alone, or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of consumers' personal information, that does business in the State of California.

  • CCPA and/or CPRA refers to the California Consumer Privacy Act (the "CCPA") as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (the "CPRA").

    For the purposes of the GDPR, the Company is the Data Controller.

  • Consumer, for the purpose of the CCPA/CPRA, means a natural person who is a California resident. A resident, as defined in the law, includes (1) every individual who is in the USA for other than a temporary or transitory purpose, and (2) every individual who is domiciled in the USA who is outside the USA for a temporary or transitory purpose.

  • Data Controller, for the purposes of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), refers to the Company as the legal person which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Data.

  • Device means any device that can access the Service such as a computer, a cell phone or a digital tablet.

  • GDPR refers to EU General Data Protection Regulation.

  • Personal Data (or "Personal Information") is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.

    For the purposes of GDPR, Personal Data means any information relating to You such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

    For the purposes of the CCPA/CPRA, Personal Data means any information that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with You.

    We use "Personal Data" and "Personal Information" interchangeably unless a law uses a specific term.

  • Service refers to the Application or the Website or both.

  • Service Provider means any natural or legal person who processes the data on behalf of the Company. It refers to third-party companies or individuals employed by the Company to facilitate the Service, to provide the Service on behalf of the Company, to perform services related to the Service or to assist the Company in analyzing how the Service is used. For the purposes of the GDPR, Service Providers are considered Data Processors.

  • You means the individual accessing or using the Service, or the company, or other legal entity on behalf of which such individual is accessing or using the Service, as applicable.

    Under GDPR, You can be referred to as the Data Subject or as the User, since You are the individual using the Service.

Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

You may give Us certain personally identifiable information when You contact support or subscribe to a newsletter. We do not require this information to use the Application itself. Personally identifiable information We may collect includes:

  • Email address (support requests and newsletter subscriptions)
  • First and last name (support requests)

Usage Data

We collect a limited set of Usage Data — pseudonymous or anonymous analytics signals, anonymous crash and error reports, and standard web-server access logs — so We can diagnose issues and understand how the Service is used in aggregate. As with any web request, the Service Providers We use for this purpose also receive the client IP address and user agent. See "Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data" below for the specific Service Providers involved and what each one receives.

Tracking Technologies and Cookies

The Website does not set cookies and does not use browser-based tracking technologies (web beacons, pixels, fingerprinting, or similar) for advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking.

Biometric Authentication

When You use Face ID, Touch ID, or a device passcode to unlock the Application, authentication takes place on Your Device through Apple's on-device biometrics framework. We do not receive, process, or store biometric data.

Your LightWatch Data

Your LightWatch data — the feeds You follow and related settings — is stored on Your Device and synced to Your own iCloud account across Your devices. The Company does not operate a server that stores this data. We cannot retrieve Your iCloud data from Apple.

Use of Your Personal Data

The Company may use Personal Data for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our Service, including to diagnose and resolve crashes and errors and to understand in aggregate how the Service is used.
  • For the performance of a contract: to process and provide any paid subscription You purchase through the Service.
  • To contact You: to respond to a support request You have submitted, or to send operational messages about the Service (for example, service announcements, security updates, or responses to Your inquiries).
  • To send You newsletters and similar updates about the Service, if You have subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time through the link in any newsletter or by contacting Us.
  • For business transfers: We may use Your Personal Data to evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding.

We may share Your Personal Data in the following situations:

  • With Service Providers: We share Personal Data with the third-party Service Providers described under "Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data" (for example, Our support ticketing provider and Our newsletter provider) strictly so they can perform services on Our behalf.
  • For business transfers: We may share or transfer Your Personal Data in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of Company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of Our business.
  • With Your consent: We may disclose Your Personal Data for any other purpose with Your consent.

Retention of Your Personal Data

The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if We are required to retain Your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Where possible, We apply shorter retention periods and/or reduce identifiability by deleting, aggregating, or anonymizing data, and We may delete or anonymize data sooner when it is no longer needed for the relevant purpose. We apply different retention periods to different categories of Personal Data based on the purpose of processing and legal obligations:

  • Customer Support Data

    • Support tickets and correspondence: as long as reasonably necessary to provide support, resolve follow-up inquiries, and meet Our legal obligations.

  • Usage Data

    • Pseudonymous or anonymous analytics signals (TelemetryDeck): retained according to TelemetryDeck's retention policy.
    • Anonymous crash and error reports (Sentry): retained according to Sentry's retention policy.
    • Server logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL): retained by Our hosting providers (Vercel for the Website, Cloudflare Pages for discovery content) according to their respective retention policies.

  • Marketing Data

    • Email marketing subscriptions: retained until You unsubscribe or until Our newsletter provider considers the subscription inactive.

  • Financial and Transaction Data

    • Payment information: credit/debit card details are never provided to Us. Payments are processed directly by Apple through the App Store. We retain pseudonymous subscription and transaction metadata (such as product identifier, purchase and renewal dates, amount, and currency) for the period required by applicable tax and financial recordkeeping obligations.

We may retain Personal Data beyond the periods stated above for different reasons:

  • Legal obligation: We are required by law to retain specific data (e.g., financial records for tax authorities).
  • Legal claims: Data is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • Your explicit request: You ask Us to retain specific information.

You may request information about how long We will retain Your Personal Data by contacting Us.

When retention periods expire, We securely delete or anonymize Personal Data according to the following procedures:

  • Deletion: Personal Data is removed from the systems We control, and We direct Our Service Providers to delete their copies in accordance with their own retention and deletion practices.
  • Backup retention: Residual copies may remain in backups maintained by Us or Our Service Providers for a limited period and are not restored except where necessary for security, disaster recovery, or legal compliance.
  • Anonymization: In some cases, We convert Personal Data into anonymous statistical data that cannot be linked back to You. This anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for research and analytics.

Transfer of Your Personal Data

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed by the Company and the Service Providers described in this Privacy Policy. This may mean that Your information is transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in Your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, We will ensure that international transfers of Your Personal Data are subject to appropriate safeguards and supplementary measures where appropriate. The Company will take reasonable steps to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Delete Your Personal Data

You have the right to delete or request that We assist in deleting the Personal Data that We have collected about You.

Because the Application has no server-side user account, most of Your data is already within Your control: on-device data can be removed by uninstalling the Application, and data synced to iCloud can be managed directly through Your iCloud account settings. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of any Personal Data that We hold about You (for example, support correspondence or newsletter subscriptions), please contact Us using the details in the "Contact Us" section.

Please note, however, that We may need to retain certain information when We have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Business Transactions

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, Your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before Your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

Law enforcement

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

Other legal requirements

The Company may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company
  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
  • Protect the personal safety of Users of the Service or the public
  • Protect against legal liability

Security of Your Personal Data

The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data

We use the third-party Service Providers listed below. Each Service Provider processes Personal Data only to perform a specific service on Our behalf. Their own privacy practices are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Error Tracking and Crash Reporting

We use Sentry to record crashes and errors in the Application and the Website. We do not attach user identifiers to these reports. As with any web request, Sentry's servers also receive the client IP address. Crash reports help Us diagnose and fix bugs.

Analytics

We use TelemetryDeck to understand how the Service is used in aggregate. The Application and the Website send signals with app version, operating system version, device model, locale, and non-identifying in-app events. The Application also sends a salted hash derived from the device's vendor identifier. Some in-app events include a feed URL (for example, when a feed fails to parse) so We can diagnose feed compatibility issues; these events are not tied to a user identifier. As with any web request, TelemetryDeck's servers also receive the client IP address and user agent.

Email Marketing

We may use Your email address to send newsletters or product updates You have subscribed to. You may opt out at any time through the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting Us.

Customer Support

When You submit a support request through the Website, Your name, email address, message, and any attachment You provide are sent to Our support ticketing provider so We can respond.

Payments

We may provide paid subscriptions within the Application. When We do, all payments are processed directly by Apple through the App Store. We never receive, store, or process Your payment card details.

Subscription Management

To manage subscription status, entitlements, and receipt validation on Our behalf, We use RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives a pseudonymous application user identifier, the subscription and transaction metadata that Apple provides with each purchase, and basic device and app metadata (such as app version, device type, and locale). We do not send Your email address, display name, or any custom profile attributes to RevenueCat.

Advertising Attribution

If We run campaigns on the App Store through Apple Search Ads, the Application may request an attribution token from Apple's AdServices framework and share it with RevenueCat so We can understand, in aggregate, which campaigns led to a subscription.

Website Hosting

The Website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel processes standard request information (IP address, user agent, timestamp, requested URL) as part of delivering the Website and maintaining its security and reliability.

Discovery Content Hosting

The Application fetches curated feed content for in-app feed discovery from discover.getlightwatch.com, which is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. When the Application requests this content, Cloudflare processes standard request information (IP address, user agent, timestamp, requested URL) as part of delivering the content and maintaining its security and reliability.

Cloud Storage and Sync

Your LightWatch data is stored on Your Device and synced to Your own iCloud account across Your devices. The Company does not operate a server that stores this data, and the Application does not transmit it to Our own systems. We cannot retrieve Your iCloud data from Apple.

GDPR Privacy

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under GDPR

We may process Personal Data under the following conditions:

  • Consent: You have given Your consent for processing Personal Data for one or more specific purposes.
  • Performance of a contract: Provision of Personal Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with You and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof.
  • Legal obligations: Processing Personal Data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Company is subject.
  • Vital interests: Processing Personal Data is necessary in order to protect Your vital interests or of another natural person.
  • Public interests: Processing Personal Data is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Company.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing Personal Data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Company.

The Company can help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

International Transfer of Personal Data

We may transfer, store, and process Personal Data in countries other than the country in which You are located, including countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") and the United Kingdom ("UK"), where data protection laws may differ.

Where we transfer Personal Data outside the EEA/UK to a country that has not been recognized as providing an adequate level of protection, We rely on the following safeguards:

  • The European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs"), and where relevant the UK International Data Transfer Agreement ("IDTA") or the UK Addendum to the SCCs, as incorporated into the standard data processing agreement of each Service Provider We engage.
  • Transport encryption (HTTPS/TLS) for data sent between the Application, the Website, and Our Service Providers.
  • Data minimisation — We send each Service Provider only the Personal Data necessary for that specific service.

We transfer Personal Data internationally only as needed to provide the Service and to work with Our Service Providers (for example, hosting, analytics, email delivery). You may contact Us using the details in the "Contact Us" section of Our Privacy Policy to request information about, or a copy of, the safeguards We use for international transfers. Each Service Provider's own data processing agreement (linked from their privacy policy) is the primary source.

Your Rights under the GDPR

The Company undertakes to respect the confidentiality of Your Personal Data and to support You in exercising Your rights.

You have the right under this Privacy Policy, and by law if You are within the EU, to:

  • Request access to Your Personal Data. The right to access, update or delete the information We have on You. Because the Application has no server-side user account, most access and deletion requests should be made by contacting Us using the details in the "Contact Us" section. This also enables You to receive a copy of the Personal Data We hold about You.
  • Request restriction of processing. You have the right to ask Us to restrict processing of Your Personal Data in certain circumstances (for example, while We verify accuracy or consider an objection).
  • Request correction of the Personal Data that We hold about You. You have the right to have any incomplete or inaccurate information We hold about You corrected.
  • Object to processing of Your Personal Data. This right exists where We are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for Our processing and there is something about Your particular situation, which makes You want to object to our processing of Your Personal Data on this ground. You also have the right to object where We are processing Your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request erasure of Your Personal Data. You have the right to ask Us to delete or remove Personal Data when there is no good reason for Us to continue processing it.
  • Request the transfer of Your Personal Data. We will provide to You, or to a third-party You have chosen, Your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please note that this right only applies to automated information which You initially provided consent for Us to use or where We used the information to perform a contract with You.
  • Withdraw Your consent. You have the right to withdraw Your consent to Our use of Your Personal Data. If You withdraw Your consent, We may not be able to provide You with access to certain specific functionalities of the Service.

Exercising of Your GDPR Data Protection Rights

You may exercise Your rights of access, rectification, cancellation, and opposition by contacting Us. Please note that We may ask You to verify Your identity before responding to such requests. We generally respond within one month of receiving a request, and may extend by two further months where necessary, in accordance with applicable law.

You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about Our collection and use of Your Personal Data. For more information, if You are in the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact Your local data protection authority in the EEA.

Sources of Personal Information

We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:

  • Directly from You. For example, from forms You complete on Our Service, from subscriptions You sign up for, or from purchases You make.
  • Automatically from the Service. For example, through pseudonymous analytics signals and anonymous crash reports that the Application and Website send as You use them, and through standard web-server request logs.
  • From Service Providers. For example, Apple-provided subscription and transaction metadata relayed to Us through RevenueCat.

We may use or disclose personal information We collect for "business purposes" or "commercial purposes" (as defined under the CCPA/CPRA), which may include the following examples:

  • To operate and provide Our Service.
  • To provide You with support and respond to Your inquiries, including to investigate and address Your concerns, and to monitor and improve Our Service.
  • To fulfill or meet the reason You provided the information. For example, if You share Your contact information to ask a question about our Service, We will use that personal information to respond to Your inquiry. If You provide Your personal information to purchase a subscription, We will use that information to process Your transaction.
  • To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
  • As described to You when collecting Your personal information or as otherwise set forth in the CCPA/CPRA.
  • For internal administrative and auditing purposes.
  • To detect security incidents and protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, including, when necessary, to prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Other purposes consistent with the context in which the information was collected, or as otherwise disclosed to You at the time of collection.

Please note that the examples provided above are illustrative and not intended to be exhaustive.

If We decide to collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information We collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes, We will update this Privacy Policy.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may use or disclose and may have used or disclosed in the last twelve (12) months the following categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes:

  • Category A: Identifiers
  • Category B: Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e))
  • Category D: Commercial information
  • Category F: Internet or other similar network activity

Please note that the categories listed above are those defined in the CCPA/CPRA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact disclosed, but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been disclosed.

When We disclose Personal Information for a business purpose or a commercial purpose, We enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

Categories of Third Parties We Disclose To

For the business purposes described above, We may have disclosed and may disclose personal information in the above categories to:

  • Service Providers (as described under "Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data")
  • Apple, as the processor of In-App Payments

This is disclosure to processors acting on Our behalf — it is not "selling" or "sharing" as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. See the next section.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating a Consumer's personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. "Sharing" means disclosing personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not sell or share Your personal information under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not use cross-context behavioral advertising, and We do not receive monetary or other valuable consideration in exchange for Your personal information.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain California residents' Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy (including the purposes disclosed in this CCPA/CPRA notice), taking into account: (i) how long we need the information to provide and maintain the Service; (ii) whether You have requested deletion (subject to applicable exceptions); (iii) Our legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations; (iv) security, fraud prevention, and abuse monitoring needs; and (v) the time periods needed to resolve disputes and enforce Our agreements.

Specific retention periods for major data categories are described in the "Retention of Your Personal Data" section of Our Privacy Policy, and We may retain certain information longer where required or permitted by law (for example, to comply with recordkeeping obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims).

Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age

We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 16 through our Service. The Service retrieves content from third-party feed sources and links to third-party articles; those sources operate independently and have their own terms of use and privacy policies. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to use the parental controls in the Application to restrict what content is accessible.

We do not sell the personal information of any Consumer, including Consumers We know are less than 16 years of age.

If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided Us with personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to delete that information.

Your Rights under the CCPA/CPRA

The CCPA/CPRA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. If You are a resident of California, You have the following rights:

Exercising Your CCPA/CPRA Data Protection Rights

Please see the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" section and "Limit the Use or Disclosure of My Sensitive Personal Information" section for more information on how to opt out and limit the use of sensitive information collected.

Additionally, in order to exercise any of Your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us:

Only You, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to Your personal information.

Your request to Us must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows Us to reasonably verify You are the person about whom We collected Personal Information or an authorized representative
  • Describe Your request with sufficient detail that allows Us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it

We cannot respond to Your request or provide You with the required information if We cannot:

  • Verify Your identity or authority to make the request
  • And confirm that the personal information relates to You

We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving Your verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.

Any disclosures We provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request's receipt.

For data portability requests, We will select a format to provide Your personal information that is readily usable and should allow You to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell or share Your personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. There is therefore nothing to opt out of. If Our practices ever change, We will update this Privacy Policy and provide You with a clear mechanism to exercise Your opt-out right.

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If We ever begin selling or sharing personal information, a GPC signal received from Your browser will be treated as a valid opt-out request.

Limit the Use or Disclosure of My Sensitive Personal Information

If You are a California resident, You have the right to limit the use and disclosure of Your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such services or goods.

We do not collect or disclose sensitive personal information as that term is defined under the CCPA/CPRA, so there is nothing for You to limit. If Our practices ever change, We will update this Privacy Policy and provide a clear mechanism to submit a limit request.

"Do Not Track" Policy as Required by California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

The Website does not engage in the cross-site tracking or advertising behavior that Do Not Track (DNT) was designed to limit. It sets no cookies, uses no tracking technologies for advertising or remarketing, and sends no Personal Data to ad networks. The Website also honors a Do Not Track signal from Your browser by suppressing its anonymous pageview beacon when the signal is present. The Application offers its own in-app controls for the optional analytics and crash reports it sends.

Your California Privacy Rights (California's Shine the Light law)

Under California Civil Code Section 1798 (California's Shine the Light law), California residents with an established business relationship with Us can request information once a year about sharing their Personal Data with third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes.

We do not share Personal Data with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. If you'd like to request more information under the California Shine the Light law, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us using the contact information provided below.

California Privacy Rights for Minor Users (California Business and Professions Code Section 22581)

California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 allows California residents under the age of 18 who are registered users of online sites, services or applications to request and obtain removal of content or information they have publicly posted.

To request removal of such data, contact Us using the information provided below. Please include enough detail (for example, the email address You used to contact Us or the approximate date of any content You want removed) for Us to locate Your information.

Be aware that Your request does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of content or information posted online and that the law may not permit or require removal in certain circumstances.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 16. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 16 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from the systems We control and direct Our Service Providers to delete their copies.

The Application includes optional parental controls that a parent or guardian may enable on a device a child uses. When these controls are active, the Application suppresses optional analytics signals, restricts in-app actions, and limits the content that can be viewed. These are parental control tools; they do not change the fact that the Service is not directed to children under 16, and enabling them is not an authorization to collect a child's Personal Data.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top. For material changes, We will provide notice before those changes take effect by a prominent means, such as an in-app message, a notice on the Website, or, if We have Your email address, a message to that address.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
