• Geo-Location Information: Where you agree to and have turned on location services during the registration
process for the Contour App, we will collect information about your precise or approximate location from
information derived from your mobile device. We ask for your consent to this collection during the App
registration process. You may withdraw your consent to our collection of your location information at any time by
disabling the use of location services in the device’s settings menu. Ascensia may also collect this information

information and health data that is shared will vary depending on your specific selections. Ascensia will not use or
disclose to third parties user data gathered from HealthKit for advertising or other use-based data mining purposes
other than improving health. See the “Third Party App Connections” section below for further details.
