The security of your personal information is extremely important. We maintain commercially reasonable technical, administrative, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information provided to us.
However, no communication over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Although we take care to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you provide to us, so you do so at your own risk.
The security of your information and account with us is also dependent on you. Please keep any account information, including access to your mobile phone secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information. We also recommend that you log out of the App when you are done using our Services, to help prevent another party from accessing your account.

For non-material changes, where your acknowledgement is not required, your continued use of the App and the Services constitutes your acceptance of the Policy as amended. Each time you use the App or the Services, the version of our Privacy Policy then posted will apply to that use, so it is your responsibility to check for updates each time you access the App or the Services.
To the extent any provision of this Privacy Policy is found by a competent tribunal to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed to the extent necessary for the remainder to be valid and enforceable.
