Personally identifiable information collected may include information like name, email address, location, gender, interests, device, app usage, user ID, and contact information".

Location Information: Braze "may collect device location information if location services are enabled for any Developer Applications on the device. We use location information to provide Developers with information about the use of their Developer Applications".

Opt-Out: End users may opt out of location collection by turning off location services for Developer apps in their mobile device. They can opt out of personally identifiable information by not providing that information to the Developer apps, and in the case of third parties, not providing that information to the third parties.
