This app uses Appsee, a third-party app analytics service. Using Appsee, we may record your touch gestures, scrolling activity and certain in-app interactions in order to track our app performance, stability, usability, and functional bugs and errors.

We use the Appsee user recordings solely in order to understand and improve our app functionality and to deliver a better experience to our end users.
