Mobile application
When users use our mobile application, we automatically collect IP address, device ID, device type, what OS users are running.

Email and text message communication
If you provide us your email address or phone number, Uolo may send you administrative messages (such as updates, Notifications, newsletters, and other news) relating to the Services or to respond to communications from you. By maintaining a Uolo account and/or not opting out of the receipt of information from Uolo, you acknowledge and agree that you may receive e-mail or text messages on your phone or mobile communications device from Uolo and/or its Agents (as defined below). The receipt of such messages may cause you to incur usage charges or other fees or costs in accordance with your wireless or data service plan. Any and all such charges, fees, or costs are your sole responsibility. You should consult with your wireless carrier to determine what rates, charges, fees, or costs may apply. We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us if your computer supports this type of program. If you no longer wish to receive administrative email messages from Uolo you may opt-out by following the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each message or by emailing us at support@theuolo.com.

Push notifications
We send notices to Subscribers when the Organizer has posted something new within the group to which they belong.

If you are a parent of an underage user, you always have the choice to no longer allow your child to receive such communications by contacting us at support@theuolo.com. Any user may email us at support@theuolo.com if such user no longer wishes to receive communications from the Services.
What about cookies, pixels and local storage
Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer as you browse the web. Like many websites, Uolo uses cookies to discover how people are using our Services and to make them work better.
A pixel is a small amount of code on a web page or in an email notification. As many services do, we (or our Agents) may use pixels to learn whether you’ve interacted with certain of web or email content on our Services. This helps us measure and improve our Services and personalize your experience on Uolo.
Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or application to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. We use local storage to customize what we show you based on your past interactions with Uolo.
Uolo uses these technologies to deliver, measure, and improve our Services in various ways. These uses generally fall into one of the following categories:
Authentication and security:
- To log you into Uolo.
- To protect your security.
- To help us detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate the Uolo Rules.
For example, these technologies help authenticate your access to Uolo and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your account. They also let us show you appropriate content through our Services.
Analytics and research:
- To help us improve and understand how people use our Services.
For example, cookies help us test different versions of our services to see which particular features or content users prefer. We might also optimize and improve your experience on Uolo by using cookies to see how you interact with our services, such as when and how often you use them and what links you click on. We may use Google Analytics to assist us with this. Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because you will not be able to log in or use many of the Services’ features without cookies enabled. Note that the use of cookies by third parties is not covered by our privacy policy. We do not have access or control over these cookies.
