Opt-Out Rights

There are several opt-out options for users of our apps:

You can opt-out of all information collection by uninstalling the application. You can use the standard uninstall processes which may be available as a part of your mobile device or via mobile application marketplace or network.

You can opt-out from the use of information to serve targeted advertising by advertisers or third party networks by following the third party instructions directly:

• For Apple (Advertising Identifier) visit Apple Advertising & Privacy
• For Facebook Audience Network visit About Facebook Ads
• For Google (AdMob) visit How personalized ads work
• For Google (Advertising ID) visit Advertising ID

You can opt-out by activating “Do Not Track Settings” on your mobile device. The providers of advertising services are bound to comply with “Do Not Track” settings in mobile devices, but we cannot provide any guarantees on their behalf. Some providers may have additional opt-out mechanisms implemented.

You can opt out by turning on “Limit Ad Tracking” on your iOS device or “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” on your Android device, this way you can restore-internet-based ads by turning the settings off. When you opt out, you may still see the same number of ads on your mobile device, but these ads may be less relevant because they will not be based on your interests. Our advertising partners may continue to serve you ads that will be based on other non-personal information, like ads related to the content of the app you are using.

For Android devices with OS 2.2 and up and Google Play Services version 4.0 and up:
Open your Google Settings app > Ads >Enable “Opt Out of Interest-Based Advertising” or “Opt Out of Ads Personalization”.
Until all advertising networks transition to using the advertising ID, you may still receive personalized ads from some networks following an opt out.
You can also choose to reset your Advertising ID, in which case your device will generate a new random identifier. The data associated with your previous Advertising ID will not be linked to your new identifier. To reset your Advertising ID on Android, go to Settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising ID and click OK when the confirmation screen appears.

For iOS or iPadOS devices, you can enable “Limit Ad Tracking“ by going to Settings > Privacy > Advertising and turning on Limit Ad Tracking.
For iOS14, the application will request permission on the first launch to “Allow Tracking”, then you can allow or decline. However, the request will not appear if the setting “Allow Apps to Request to Track” is off in the iOS or iPadOS Settings app, in which case the app will take a decline tracking value.
For iOS14, you can change the “Allow Tracking” permission on the app Settings.
For iOS or iPadOS devices, you can opt out of receiving location-based advertising by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and turning off Location-Based Apple Ads.
You can also choose to reset your Advertising Identifier, in which case your device will generate a new random identifier. The data associated with your previous Advertising Identifier will not be linked to your new identifier. To reset your Advertising Identifier on iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > Privacy, tap Advertising, and then tap Reset Advertising Identifier.
For iOS14, you may be able to reset the Advertising Identifier by going to Settings > Privacy > Tracking and turning off and then back on the button on “Allow Apps to Request to Track”.
