- Integration with Current Usage Data Practices: The collection of IP addresses will be seamlessly integrated into our existing practices for gathering Usage Data, as detailed in our policy. This ensures a consistent approach to data collection and privacy across our platform.
- Security and Privacy Commitment: The security and privacy of your information, including your IP address, remain our top priority. We employ the highest standards of data protection to ensure that all user information is safeguarded.
- Your Control and Rights: We respect your rights to your personal information. You can inquire about the IP address data we collect and request its deletion. Our team is committed to responding to your concerns efficiently and effectively.
- Account and Data Deletion Feature within the App: We have integrated a “Request My Account and Data Deletion” feature within the app to ensure you have full control over your personal information. This feature allows you to manage your account and data with ease and transparency. Please allow us 5 business days to accomplish your request.
