6. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity.
Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals. As a result, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that provides the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.
7. Mobile Device Identifiers
When you access our Services through a mobile device, we may collect certain information automatically, including the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device's unique device ID, the IP address of your mobile device, your mobile operating system, and information about your use of our mobile application.
You can typically control the collection of this information through your device settings or by uninstalling our mobile application.

When we use third-party services that process data internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
