  • If you have any question on any of these tools and settings, please contact us.
We want you to be aware of your privacy rights. Here are a few key points to remember:
  • Reviewing your Information.  Applicable privacy laws may give you the right to review the Information we keep about you (depending on the jurisdiction, this may be called right of access, right of portability, or variations of those terms). You can request a copy of your Information from us.
  • Device permissions.   Mobile platforms have permission systems for specific types of device data and notifications, such as phone book and location services as well as push notifications. You can change your settings on your device to either consent or oppose the collection of the corresponding Information or the display of the corresponding notifications. Of course, if you do that, certain aspects of our Services may lose full functionality.
For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.

Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user.  If you wish to receive Information relating to another user, such as a copy of any messages you received from him or her through our Services, the other user will have to contact us to provide their written consent before the Information is released.

Also, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to the processing of Information, notably where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.
