How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes.

When you allow us to collect precise location information, we use that information to provide and improve features of the Services such as recording where a task took place or mapping an activity.

We also use your information to make inferences and show you more relevant content. For example, we may personalize task and activity goals for you based on the goals you previously set and your historical exercise or activity data.
