Our Use of Tracking Mechanisms

We and our third party service providers use technologies designed for mobile apps and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Feature. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third party service providers may do so on our behalf).

Third Party Analytics. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Feature, Sisense to process our data for business intelligence purposes, and Fabric.io to monitor the performance and improve the stability of the Grab Feature. We use these tools to help us improve our Feature, performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services.  We may share your information with these third parties.  These features are subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. You may ask us for a list of the third party analytics providers we use by emailing [email protected].

Do-Not-Track

Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section.

Third-Party Links

Our Feature may contain links to third-party websites or allow you to post content to (or transmit content to) third-party websites, including without limitation to perform commercial transactions.  Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those third party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third party websites.

Security of My Personal Information

We have implemented safeguards designed to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. Please be aware no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.

Access To My Personal Information

If we require you to register with us, you may modify personal information that you have submitted by logging into your account and updating your profile information. Copies of information that you have updated, modified or deleted may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Feature for a longer period of time.

What Choices Do I Have Regarding Use of My Personal Information?

We may send periodic promotional emails to you. You may opt-out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the e-mail. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt-out of receiving emails about recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we may still send you e-mails about your account or any products or services you have requested or received from us. If we have shared your information with third parties, you may continue to receive messages from third parties, unless you opt-out from such messages through the applicable third party. If you take advantage of a third party offer that has been sent to you, that third party may collect certain information from you, subject to its own privacy policy.

To cease the collection of your information by the Feature, you will need to delete the Feature from your mobile device. Deletion of the Feature will not cease our use of the information that has already been collected by the Feature pursuant to this Policy.

This Feature will send you text message/SMS notices.  You may turn off text message/SMS notices for this Feature through the phone settings screen or the Feature’s settings.

To do that, after activation, reply with STOP or go into the Feature’s settings to opt-out.  Reply HELP for help.  Message & Data rates may apply.  The number of text messages you receive may vary based on your account activity.
