Alternatively, when you download our mobile application, you may choose to allow it to obtain your precise location from your mobile device when you click the "near me" button. In this case, we will determine your zip/postal code from the precise location data received from your mobile device. We do not store precise location data; we only store the zip/postal code associated with the location. We may also update our mobile applications to offer automatic (or "push") notifications.
