"We collect your geographic location to determine your distance from other users through GPS, Wi-Fi and/or cellular technology in your device. Your last known geographic location can be stored for the purpose of calculating your distance from other users. A history of your prior geographic locations."

The app collects precise location via GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular, stores your last known location, and retains a full history of your prior geographic locations — far beyond what a proximity feature requires.

"An identifier that is unique to the device on which you install the Service and some device identifiers may be persistent device identifiers; Advertising identifiers; The make, model and serial number of your device. Prior to your installation of the Service, we may have already collected information about the other apps or services that you have used via our service providers, third parties and/or other parties."

The company collects persistent device identifiers, serial numbers, advertising IDs, and information about other apps you've used — even before you install their app — via third-party data sources.

"We can disclose your geographic location information and any other information that we collect or that you provide in connection with your use of the Service and any other information derived from or based upon the foregoing information with service providers, third parties and/or other parties. Service providers, third parties and/or other parties can also collect information directly from you and about you from other sources."

The policy permits sharing essentially all collected data — including precise geolocation — with vaguely defined 'third parties and/or other parties,' and allows those parties to collect data directly from users.

"If the 'do not track' setting is disabled, we can record when a user installs the Service, and whether or not this action was the result of a tap on an ad outside of such Service. We can also run advertising on other websites, applications and services via our advertising display partners. We disclose your device identifier and demographic information with our analytics partners."

The company tracks user activity across services using advertising identifiers and device identifiers, linking ad taps outside the app to installs and sharing identifiers with advertising display partners.

"We will retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, while we have a legitimate business need to do so in connection with your registered account, or as required by law (for example, for legal, tax, accounting or other purposes), whichever is the longer."

Retention is defined as 'whichever is longer' among multiple vague criteria with no concrete timelines, effectively allowing indefinite retention of personal data.

"We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time and we can require your consent thereto. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically, and especially before you provide any information."

The company reserves the right to change the privacy policy at any time, placing the burden on users to periodically check for changes rather than providing proactive notification.

"You can make changes to your information, including accessing your information, correcting or updating your information or deleting your information, by editing your profile in the Service or by requesting deletion of your personal information by submitting a support request at https://support.scruff.com for users of the SCRUFF App, https://support.jackd.com for users of the Jack'd App, or contact customer service from within any of our other services or products."

Full account and data deletion requires submitting a support request rather than offering a straightforward self-service deletion option, and no deletion timeline is specified.
