We do not control, supervise or respond for how the third parties process your personal data, that might be collected by their own means (not through our App). Due to the fact that some of our third parties (such as MoPub) declare themselves controllers for the purposes of the GDPR, any information request regarding your personal data should be directed to such third parties.

  • Information related to your device. When you use a mobile device (tablet / phone / smartwatch) to access our App, we may monitor one or more “device identifiers”.
