Upon logging in with an Apple account, MeKo procures the user's nickname and avatar from said account and utilizes them as the default details within the MeKo platform. Rest assured, any subsequent changes or modifications made by users to their aliases and avatars shall remain confidential, as per MeKo's commitment to data privacy.

• Pertaining to Your Profile and Device Identification. When engaging with our service, we automatically record your Internet Protocol (IP) address and pertinent details about your device.

Rest assured, this transmitted data will be processed to ascertain the veracity of the report and, if called for, determine the appropriate course of action.

• It is within your prerogative to refuse the provision of personal data when requested. Moreover, certain types of automated data collection can be prevented by leveraging controls present within web browsers or operating systems. However, it's worth noting that declining to provide or permit the provision of information deemed necessary for specific services or features may result in either their unavailability or partial functionality.
