Collection of precise real time location information of the device
We use your location information to provide requested location services such as redeeming a discount and to allow tagging and check-in at locations.

Understanding your needs allows us to deliver more appropriate discounts.

We may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:

Automatic Data Collection and Advertising
This free Application service is supported via advertising, and collects data to help the Application serve ads. We may work with analytics companies to help us understand how the Application is being used, such as the frequency and duration of usage. We work with advertisers and third party advertising networks, who need to know how you interact with advertising provided in the Application which helps us keep the cost of the Application free. Advertisers and advertising networks use some of the information collected by the Application, but cannot identify you directly.
Opt Out
Opt-out of all information collection by uninstalling the Application – you can stop all collection of information by the Application easily by uninstalling the Application. You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.

Security
We are concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. We provide physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information we process and maintain. For example, we limit access to this information to authorised employees and contractors who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our Application. Please be aware that, although we endeavour to provide reasonable security for information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.
