6. We use automated data processing for our anti-fraud systems which automatically detect your activity within the app and block certain functions or the ability to place an order. This is done to promptly protect your account and our financial interests, as well as the financial interests of our partners and third parties, while performing a contract between you and us.

If you consider that our systems have made an error, please contact us.
