We may also collect data that you provide to us directly. Any form of correspondence that you send us and the content of that correspondence may be collected. This includes marketplace reviews and email messages.

We collect data for the following purposes:
- To enable third party advertising within our services. For information about personalized advertisements, continue to the "Your rights and options" section.
- To maintain and improve our services. Data that you provide us directly and processed data that we receive from our providers may be used to plan for and make adjustments to our services.
Your data is collected and processed to support our legitimate interests to operate and maintain our services. Where required by local law, your consent, if granted, will be our legitimate interest to collect and process certain data.
Retention of data
Data that we collect may be retained to serve our legitimate interests. Data will only be retained for durations permitted by applicable law.

We may transfer your data if there is a change in ownership of one or more of the services.
Your data may be transferred to public authorities in response to a lawful request.
Your rights and options
Your rights and options regarding your personal data include:
- The right to access your data. You may request to receive data about you that we have retained. You may also inquire about our storage and processing methods.
- The right to correct your data. You may request that we correct inaccuracies and omissions in your personal data.

- The right to restrict processing of your data.
- The right to portability of your data. You may request that we transfer your data to a data controller via a common, machine-readable format.
- The right to object. You may object to continued processing of your data.
- The right not to be subject to automated decision-making.
-
The right to opt-out of targeted advertising.
Opt-out methods:
- If prompted for consent within the service, respond that you do not consent or close the prompt with no selection. This method is only available where it is required by local law.
- If "Privacy Options" is available in the menu within the service, navigate to "Menu" > "Privacy Options" and respond to the prompt that you do not consent or that you do not want your data sold or shared. The wording of the prompt will depend on local law. This method is only available where it is required by local law.
- Within an ad window visible in the service, click on the AdChoices icon (the blue "i" within a triangle), select "Ad options", and toggle off "Personalize ads on this app". Select "Learn more" beneath "Personalize ads on this app" to visit a web page hosted by our advertising service provider detailing this option.
-
Prevent our services from accessing your device's advertising ID.
Following are details by device operating system:
- Apple's IDFA is the iOS advertising ID. By default, our services do not utilize the IDFA. Access to the IDFA can be managed for each service by opening "Settings" on your device and navigating to "Privacy and Security" > "Tracking".
- Google's AAID is the Android advertising ID. Our services utilize the AAID unless access to this ID is restricted by the user. The AAID can be reset or deleted by opening "Settings" on your device and navigating to "Privacy" > "Ads". On devices with older Android software versions, the option to "Opt out of Ads Personalization" may appear instead of the option to delete the AAID. If a "Privacy" > "Ads" path does not appear in "Settings", an update to a newer Android software version may be required to use this method of opting out.
Children's Privacy
Our services are intended for a general audience and do not address or target anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from someone under the age of 13 without parental consent, we will delete the relevant data in a timely manner.
Changes to this Policy
We will make changes to this policy if there are substantive changes to the types of data we collect or to other related policies. We may also make non-substantive changes to this policy to improve clarity or to name a new service. We will notify you if we make a substantive change. The notification will be a prompt within the service and will require your consent in order for you to continue using our service. As an exception, Square the Circles cannot present such a message as it does not establish a connection to the internet. Our other services will check if a notification is required during launch. If you prevent our services from connecting to the internet, do not routinely re-launch our services, or are a user of the Square the Circles service, you must visit this page to stay informed of policy changes.
