Information Collection and Tracking Technologies
The technologies we use for automatic information collection may include Google Analytics, cookies (or mobile cookies), web beacons, and other similar technologies.

The Google Analytics SDK, as well as other SDKs used by the App, may receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with the App. The information collected by Google Analytics and the other analytics technologies used by the App is statistical data and does not include personal information, but we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties.
