Please note that if you've opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven't provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Service, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them.

• To better understand the user’s context for app enhancements and bug reporting, as well as gather data that can be used for dispute resolution when performing paid Tasks.
• Performance metrics for APIs
• To ensure that all the APIs used by the app are working well in order to provide the best possible user experience for the user.
• Collection of app names
• To minimize the risk of fraud by making sure the user is not using an app that doctors information that is key for the effective functioning of the app, eg: location data, clock, etc.
• Battery status
• To understand the impact of our app on the user’s battery.
• WiFi and Cellular

Overall, we will be logging the data mentioned above in order to better serve our users and prevent fraudulent users from abusing our Services for which we pay users. This data will be sent to SurveyAuto via Fabric, a third-party analytics company. Some of the information mentioned above may also be shared with our partners.
