Mobile App

When Users use our App, we may ask them for their geolocation data. This is so that we can provide them with a list of participating providers nearest them. We do not share geolocation data with any third parties. If Users do not want to use the App's geolocation feature, Users can turn off the location services for the App by changing the permissions on their mobile device. If Users wish to stop all collection of information by the App, Users can uninstall it. Users may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of their mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace. If Users wish for us to permanently delete Users' geolocation data, Users can contact us at [email protected].
