For more information see the section ‘Who we share your personal data with’ below.
The personal data we collect about you depends on the particular activities carried out through the Services. We will collect and use the following personal data about you:

The Services will request your consent to use location services to precisely identify your location each session (i.e. each time the Services is opened or has been placed in the background for more than 30 seconds). We require access to that data in order to provide you with localised information as part of the Services.
If you do not provide your consent, you may use the Services but that will mean the “maps” feature on the Services will not be available. To withdraw your consent at any time you can turn off the localisation permissions for our app on your device.
The location services in the Services will not operate unless location services/data are generally enabled on your device. You may disable such functionality at any time by turning your device’s location on “off” using the device’s settings app. When you allow your device to use location services/data, data will also be collected by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy, as this is the map service we integrate to our app.
