2.3. General
When using the Mobile Application, our servers automatically collect certain information from your device, such as your IP address, location, device name and version, operating system type and version, language preferences, search queries within the application, and access times and dates.

In handling Personal Information, we operate both as a data controller and a data processor, depending on the context. As a data controller, we request Personal Information necessary to ensure your access to and use of the Mobile Application and Services, determining the purposes and means of processing. Conversely, as a data processor, we handle Personal Information submitted through the application strictly in accordance with user instructions, with the user acting as the data controller. Collection and use of certain Personal Information may be essential to provide requested products or services or to meet legal obligations. This information may be used to improve products and services, enforce terms and policies, protect against abuse, and operate the Mobile Application and Services. Processing of Personal Information is based on user consent, legal obligations, or legitimate interests, with specific legal bases clarified as needed.
