6. Your Rights & Choices
You have full control over your information, and we provide you with the following rights to manage your privacy:
Access & Correction
You can access and update most of your personal information directly through your profile settings. If you need assistance accessing or correcting any information we hold about you, you can contact us at any time.
Data Portability
You can request a machine-readable copy of your personal information that you have provided to us, so you can move it to another service if you wish.

You can delete your account at any time through the settings menu. When you delete your account, your profile information will no longer be visible to other users, and we will delete your personal information (except as required by law or for legitimate security purposes).
Location Settings
You can enable or disable location tracking through your device settings at any time. Disabling location will disable location-based discovery features.

7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide you with the Uloo service. When you delete your account, we delete your profile information and content within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain certain information by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention or safety records.
Even after deletion, we may retain aggregated, anonymous data that does not identify you personally for analytical and statistical purposes to improve our service.

Uloo may contain links to third-party websites, services, or integrations. This privacy policy only applies to Uloo, and we do not control the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service you visit or connect to through Uloo.
When you connect your Uloo account to a third-party service, information you share with that service is governed by their privacy practices.
