Understanding the Scores

Positive Security Features

None identified.

Areas for Improvement

• The app does not adequately protect data stored on the device, leaving personal information accessible if the device is used by someone else or accessed without permission.
• Behavioral data is shared with a large number of advertising partners, each operating under their own data retention and usage practices that users have no visibility into or control over.
• The privacy controls available are limited, making it difficult to restrict the scope of data collection or opt out of targeted advertising across the full network of partners.
