We do not collect or store your password when you sign in using third-party authentication providers (such as Google or Apple), and any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (“personal information“). 

• That is about you but individually does not identify you, such as your saved Venues, preferences, notification settings, and other in-app customization choices. 

This information includes:
