This Policy does not apply to personnel of athletic programs or third-party companies using our services, which may be subject to separate privacy policies.
---II. What Personal Information does MealOps collect or process?
Personal Information is any information that MealOps can reasonably use to identify you, whether that information identifies you on its own or when combined with other information.

Some of the information identified above that you choose to provide us (specifically, government-issued identification, which we receive when we verify age and identity for certain services to prevent fraud and demonstrate legal and regulatory compliance, and precise location information, which we receive to facilitate service delivery and certain content, features, and functionality within our Services), may be considered sensitive Personal Information under the laws of some jurisdictions.
