You are solely responsible for complying with Facebook and Google+ terms of service and conditions of use and we are not responsible in any way if you are no longer able to access our app through Facebook or Google+ due to your existing account being suspended, blocked, closed or terminated for any reason whatsoever.
PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
With your explicit and prior access permission, we may send push notifications or alerts to inform you about certain offers, news and tips, even if the app is not currently open or in use. You’re asked to accept (Allow) or refuse (Don’t Allow) push notifications after our app is downloaded. At any time, you can manage your push notification preferences or disable these notifications by turning off the notification settings in the Settings > Notifications of your mobile device. If you do not allow, you will not receive push notifications. We collect push notification tokens in order for us to be able to determine whether you are subscribed to push notifications.
PHOTOS AND CAMERA
We will not access your Photos or Camera without first requesting access to your Photos or Camera, and getting your explicit permission. If you give us permission to access Photos or your Camera, we will only use images that you specifically choose to share with us.

At any time, you can manage your Photos and Camera preferences by turning off this feature in the Settings > Privacy > Photos / Camera of your mobile device.
Photos may be accompanied by additional Content such as a hashtag (e.g., to mark keywords), comments, or may include metadata like a geotag. This makes your User Content more searchable by others and more interactive. If you geotag your photo then your location will be stored with the photo and may be searchable.
