You can control precise location access at any time through your device's system settings. Denying or revoking location permission may limit certain features of the Platform (e.g., nearby deals may not be displayed accurately).

15. Push Notifications & Marketing

With your permission, we send push notifications to your mobile device about new deals, upcoming events, and account-related information. You can manage push notification preferences in the app settings or through your device's notification settings at any time.

Even after opting out of marketing emails, you will continue to receive transactional emails (e.g., purchase confirmations, account security alerts, and important service announcements).

15.3 SMS/Text Messages

If you provide your phone number and consent to SMS communications, we may send text messages about deals, event reminders, and account updates. Standard message and data rates may apply.
