2. Information The VALT App May Collect

The VALT App may collect information from or about you, including but not limited to:

• Personal Information: Information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, address, and email address.
• Usage Data: Site-viewing activity (e.g., pages visited, duration of sessions, search terms), device information (e.g., IP address, device IDs, browser type), and geolocation data.
• Information Collected by Automated Means: Technical data such as MAC address, IP address, computer type, screen resolution, OS version, and browser version.

Health Data is collected solely to empower you to view, manage, and — at your discretion — monetize your own health and fitness information within the VALT App. We do not access any Health Data without your prior opt-in consent, and you may revoke this access at any time through your device settings or within the VALT App.
