The types of location information we collect from you will depend, in part, on your individual device and account settings. For example, whether the Services will collect location information only when you are actively using the Services or whether the Services will collect location information in the background as well will depend on your device settings.

Depending on your device settings, we may also be able to use your more precise location information to provide you with more targeted and useful advertisements and marketing.
