If you choose “OK” the App will communicate with your mobile device and collect certain data as provided in this Policy in order to send you targeted offers based on your Country/Region. You can always opt-out of sharing Country/Region data with the App by changing your device settings.

9.7 We utilise software manufactured by Sailthru Inc (or any other third party) and as the case may be, other software developers which works with your mobile device running the App to create a more personalised experience to make you aware of in-store offers, events and products.
