We apply heightened safeguards to this data as required under Rule 8 of the SPDI Rules.
- Passwords and financial information (where directly collected) are also treated as SPDI under these Rules.

- You have the option to not provide the data or information sought to be collected, though this may limit your ability to use certain features of the App.
- You may, at any time while availing the services, withdraw your consent by writing to the contact mentioned in Section 14 below. If you withdraw consent, we reserve the right not to provide the corresponding service or feature for which the information was sought.

6. Cross-Border Data Transfer
