Personal Information We Collect About You
Generic ID and Authorizations
Our App never collects or otherwise extracts your name, email, username, handle, phone number, or any of your other personal identifiers that you may use to identify yourself.
When you install the App, a randomly generated unique identifier (“Generic ID”) is used to distinguish your installation of the App from installations of the App by other users. Additionally, upon installation, you will be explicitly asked to grant the App permission to access your device’s usage data and accessibility services (the “Accessible Data”). Accessibility services are used to capture the ads being displayed in your social media feeds and collect stats on which websites you visit. The Accessible Data may include information that may be used to personally identify you. However, we only collect the data listed in the Collected Data section below and we never store or index any of the Collected Data in association with your personal identity.
Collected Data
In association with the Generic ID, we may receive the following information (“Collected Data”) from the Accessible Data and the other means noted below depending on which App you are using:
General Information:

• Country
• Birth year (when provided as evidence of being over 18)
Ad-related Information:
• Ads displayed in your feed
Order Information:
• Product information including price, quantity and order date
This above personal information is de-identified upon collection using the Generic ID associated with the installation of the App. If you uninstall the App, any data that was collected becomes permanently anonymized and cannot be used to re-identify you.Upon receiving the above personal information, our policy is to delete your IP address from our logs within hours of receipt, unless an error is being debugged, in which case it is deleted upon resolution of the error.
Special Category or Sensitive Personal Data

• Usage Data. We may collect information about how you use the apps and websites on your device, such as the frequency and duration of use. This data is only used in the aggregate.
