The data may be used for the purpose of serving users advertisements based on particular users’ presumed interests, and also to present advertisements in third-party applications or other platforms.

Advertisers and advertising companies use some of the data collected by the app, including the advertising identifier assigned to your device to serve advertisements that are targeted to your interests in the app. These third parties may also obtain anonymous data about other applications you’ve downloaded to your device, the websites and applications you visit and your location in order to help analyze user behavior and serve targeted advertising on the app and on other applications and websites.
