"You may give us your authorization to gather the specific location of your mobile device. However, in order for us to gather or use the specific location of your mobile device you must first give your explicit permission. Any such information gathered will only be used for the specific purpose explained at the time we ask for your permission."

The app collects precise device location data. While consent-based, the policy is vague about what 'specific purposes' the location data is used for, and given the app's nature, this likely involves continuous location access.

"Personal data collected from you will be shared with third-party providers carrying out system and sales performance monitoring, customer support and relations systems. In addition to the abovementioned, we may also disclose anonymous information to our partners and suppliers for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy within and outside the EU/EEA."

Personal data is shared with third-party service providers including some located in the U.S., and anonymized data is shared with partners and suppliers both within and outside the EU/EEA.

"When you use the Services, certain information will be collected automatically, including (i) information about your use of the Services; (ii) content that you post, upload and/or contribute to the Services; (iii) technical data, which may include the URL you are accessing the Site from, your IP address, unique device ID, network and computer performance, browser type, language and identifying information and operating system."

The service automatically collects extensive technical data including unique device IDs, network performance metrics, and broad 'identifying information' without clearly defining what that encompasses.

"When you encounter an implemented social plug-in (e.g. 'like' button) from a third party, such as Facebook, Twitter or Google, while using our Service, your browser or App will establish a direct link to that third party and will then transmit the following data to the Social Plug-in directly: date and time of your visit; the Internet address/URL of the site that you are currently visiting; your IP address; your browser; your operating system; your user code if you are a registered user of Social Plug-in."

Social plugins from Facebook, Twitter, and Google directly collect user browsing data including IP address, URLs visited, and user identifiers, enabling cross-service tracking by these third parties.

"If we make changes to this Privacy Policy we will notify you by publication on Privacy Policy. If the changes are material, we will provide you additional, prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances and, where required under applicable law, ask for your consent."

Non-material changes to the privacy policy can be made with only a website publication as notice, with no requirement for user consent. Consent is only sought 'where required under applicable law.'
