International Data Transfers
The Service Provider or its third-party service providers may transfer personal data to countries outside your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

The Service Provider may disclose user-provided and automatically collected information:

as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process;
when the Service Provider believes in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect its rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a lawful government request;
to trusted service providers who work on behalf of the Service Provider and are subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations.

Opt-Out Rights
You can stop further collection of information through the Application by uninstalling it from your mobile device.
