Your privacy

We provide you with certain information about how we process your personal data (including special category data) and for what purposes, and your rights in relation to that data within the Privacy Policy.

 

Please be aware that internet transmissions are never completely private or secure and that any message or information you send using the App may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission is encrypted.

 

iTunes and Google Play terms also apply

The ways in which you can use the App may also be controlled by iTunes and Google Play rules and policies, and those rules or policies will apply instead of these terms where there are differences between the two.

 

Changes to Terms of Use

We may need to change the Terms of Use to reflect changes in law or best practice or to deal with additional features which we introduce. We reserve the right to change our Terms of Use, and we would encourage you to check the Terms of Use regularly for any changes.

 

Update to the App

From time to time we may automatically update the App to improve performance, enhance functionality, reflect changes to the operating system or address security issues. Alternatively we may ask you to update the App for these reasons. If you choose not to install such updates or if you opt out of automatic updates you may not be able to continue using the App.

 

If someone else owns the phone or device you are using

If you download or stream the App onto any phone or other device not owned by you, you must have the owner’s permission to do so. You will be responsible for complying with these Terms of Use, whether or not you own the phone or other device.
