These profiles are often used to deliver targeted advertisements both within and outside the platforms, tailored to users' interests. Cookies are generally placed on users' devices to track their behavior and preferences. Additionally, data may be stored across different devices, particularly if users are logged into their accounts on these platforms.
 

For more details on how your data is processed and how to opt out, please refer to the privacy policies provided by the respective social network operators.

  1. Communication and Information Sharing: To interact with users who are active on these platforms and provide them with information about your services.
     

  2. Market Research and Advertising: To analyze user behavior and interests, which allows for the creation of usage profiles. These profiles are then used to deliver targeted advertisements, both within and outside the social media platforms, that align with users' preferences.
     

  3. Personalized User Experience: By using cookies and storing data across different devices, the app can track user behavior and preferences, helping to tailor content and advertisements to individual users, enhancing their overall experience.
     

  4. Data Management: To ensure transparency and provide users with control over their data, the app refers users to the privacy policies of the social media platforms for details on data processing and options for opting out. This also guides users on how to exercise their data rights effectively.
     

This approach enables your app to engage users more effectively, improve service offerings, and ensure that communications are relevant and personalized to individual preferences.
