• To improve the App experience (e.g., personalizing challenge recommendations, optimizing UI/UX based on usage data);

These third parties only process your data on our behalf and are bound by confidentiality agreements that prohibit them from using the data for any other purposes.

3.2 Third-Party Integrations: The App may contain links to third-party apps/websites (e.g., social media sharing features). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and their data collection rules are governed by their own privacy policies.

• With your prior written consent (e.g., sharing your UGC with designated third parties);
• To comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or government requests;
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Ally, our users, or the public (e.g., responding to fraud or safety threats);
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all/part of our assets (in which case we will notify you of any change in data ownership).

5. Security Measures
