Automatic Data Collection and Advertising

need to know how you interact with advertising provided in the Application which helps
us keep the cost of the Application free. Advertisers and advertising networks
use some of the information collected by the Application, including the unique identification ID of your mobile device, ip address, wifi mac address, IMEI or phone number. To protect the anonymity of this information, they generally use an encryption technology to help ensure that these third parties can’t
identify you personally. These third parties may also obtain anonymous information
about other applications you’ve downloaded to your mobile device, the mobile websites
you visit, your non-precise location information (e.g., your zip code), and other nonprecise
location information in order to help analyze and serve anonymous targeted
advertising on the Application and elsewhere.
What are my opt-out rights?
Mobile application developers should be aware of which mobile advertising networks and other
third parties they are working with in order to determine if that ad network or other third party
is offering an opt-out. We recognize that the mobile marketplace continues to experiment with
different types of opt-out mechanisms – and strongly encourage the mobile application
developer community to participate in these experiments to the benefit of consumer privacy
interests.
