How Can You Turn Off

iOS
If you are using an iOS
device, you can find the official guide for opting out from Apple here.
Android
Open the ¡°Settings¡±
application of your Android device and select the ¡°Google¡± menu item. Depending
on your device, this option may not be visible on the main menu, but you may
use the search function at the top of the Settings menu to find it. From there,

contexts, such as your progress and actions in Our Services, or your language
preferences. Please be aware that such actions may result in a less enjoyable

your personal information from Our records. However, in the case that you have
opted and agreed to submit optional content to Our Services, We may be unable
to remove that content in its entirety. Additionally, We may retain select
information where We need and have the right to do so, such as for legal and/or
accounting purposes. Such cases may include but are not limited to, information
related to your payments or customer service inquiries. We may also keep
information in order to exercise, defend, or establish Our rights.
