We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.
Google Analytics. Our Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service offered by Google which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and web page usage.
You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
Concerning our application, there are four ways in which Google Analytics will analyze users’ activity using their data: (i) BigQuery allows us to analyze the entire dataset to predict future user behaviour. (ii) Firebase Crash Reporting allows us to receive the frequency at which crashes arise and which Users are impacted the most. We can also target audiences that are impacted and release notifications to those. (iii) Firebase Cloud Messaging logs events that are released based on the application interactions such as clicking or pressing an interface component, like a button. (iv) Firebase Remote Config receives user behaviour and data to categorize them in audiences, which then allows us to customize their experience by changing the appearance and behaviour of the application.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
We will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "effective date" at the top of this Privacy Policy.
