    What It Means For You

    In-store purchases, location, and shopping habits are linked to the user profile and shared with marketing and analytics partners including Salesforce and Adjust. Users may be tracked across sessions to personalize offers and target ads. OneTrust is present for consent management, giving users some control over data preferences.

    Method and Limitations

    Static analysis only. CITT reviewed the code of this build without running the app, so runtime behavior was not observed. The findings below describe the analyzed build and may not reflect server-side controls or later versions. CITT makes no determination about compliance with any law or platform policy; it reports what the artifacts contain and cites the published guidance so a reader can compare.

    • Secure, standard authentication flows are used via AppAuth

    Areas for Improvement

    • Some data stored locally on the device has limited protection, which could allow other apps to access it on a compromised device.
    • Behavioral and location data is shared with advertising partners, but the app provides limited visibility into how that data is used after it is shared.
    • Options for reviewing, exporting, or deleting personal data could be more accessible and clearly communicated within the app.
