Aaron Stanley | Founder

My name is Aaron Stanley, born and raised in Charlotte, NC. I'm building Villager because I believe communities are sitting on more value than they realize, and most of it never gets exchanged because money gets in the way. Villager changes that. Trade your art skills for car work. Swap guitar lessons for a coffee machine. Exchange sourdough for gardening tools. Whatever you have, whatever you need, there's a neighbor ready to make that trade.

The village is hard at work. Subscribe to the monthly newsletter to stay updated on Villager's progress. This also helps us to know where to expand to after Charlotte!

Terms Of ServiceVillager App LLCEffective Date: 10/15/2026These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the Villager mobile application and related services (the "App" or "Service"), operated by Villager App LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company ("Villager," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account, browsing listings, or otherwise using the App, you ("you" or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms amend and restate in full the Terms of Service previously in effect.1. What Villager IsVillager is a peer-to-peer bartering marketplace. Users list items they own and services they are able to provide and are willing to trade, browse listings from other users, and arrange direct trades with one another, item for item, service for service, or item for service. No cash or other monetary payment is exchanged through the App, and Villager does not process payments, hold funds, or act as an escrow service for any trade. Villager's role is limited to providing the platform through which users find one another and arrange trades. Villager is not a party to any trade agreement between users. Villager does not employ, supervise, endorse, or act as the agent of any user, including any user who offers a service.2. EligibilityYou must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this requirement. The App is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 13. If we learn that an account has been created by someone under 18, we will terminate that account. A parent or guardian who believes a child under 18 has created an account should contact us using the information in Section 20 so we can investigate and, if appropriate, remove the account.3. Your AccountYou are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep it current. You may not create an account on behalf of someone else, use another user's account without permission, or maintain more than one active account.4. How Trades WorkUsers list items or services with a description and, where provided, photographs. Another user interested in a listing may propose a trade, and the two users then communicate through the App to agree on terms and arrange an in-person exchange or the performance of a service. Villager does not inspect, verify, appraise, or guarantee the condition, authenticity, safety, legality, quality, or value of any listed item or service, and does not guarantee that any user will complete a trade as agreed.4.1 Arrangements outside VillagerVillager is a cash-free platform, and the Acceptable Use Policy prohibits using Villager to arrange payments of any kind. If users nevertheless choose to make an arrangement outside the App, whether it involves cash, a payment application such as Venmo, or anything else, that arrangement is entirely between those users. Villager has no role in it, does not endorse or guarantee it, and is not responsible for it. Nothing in these Terms makes Villager a party to, or a guarantor of, any arrangement made outside the App, and the disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification in these Terms apply to any claim related to it to the fullest extent permitted by law. Villager may take action against an account that uses the App to arrange such a transaction, as described in Section 10.4.2 Advertising and sponsorshipsVillager may display paid sponsorships or advertisements from third-party businesses. These are separate from trades between users, will be labeled as sponsored, and Villager may receive compensation in connection with them. Villager does not endorse or guarantee any sponsor or any sponsor's goods or services, and any dealings you have with a sponsor are between you and the sponsor and are subject to any separate terms the sponsor presents.4.3 TaxesTrades of items and services may have tax consequences for the users involved. You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes that arise from your trades, and Villager does not provide tax advice.5. ServicesThis Section applies in addition to the rest of these Terms when a trade involves a service.5.1 Providers are independent and self-certifiedA user who offers a service (a "Provider") does so as an independent individual. Villager does not verify any Provider's identity, qualifications, license, certification, insurance, experience, or background, and any such information shown in the App is provided by the Provider and has not been checked by Villager. A Provider represents that the Provider is able to perform the service safely and lawfully, holds any license, certification, or permit that applies where the service is performed, and will comply with all applicable laws.5.2 Permitted servicesOnly services permitted by the Acceptable Use Policy may be listed. Some categories require the Provider to confirm an acknowledgment before listing, and the user receiving a service must review a notice before sending an offer. By confirming either, you agree that you have read and understood it.5.3 Receiving a serviceIf you receive a service, you are solely responsible for deciding whether the Provider is suitable, for deciding whether to allow the Provider into your home or onto your property, and for supervising the work. You are responsible for checking any license or credential that matters to you. Villager does not inspect or guarantee any work.5.4 No responsibility for servicesVillager is not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, timeliness, or completion of any service, for any injury or damage that results from a service, or for any act or omission of a Provider or of the person receiving a service. Disputes about a service are disputes between the users involved and are governed by Section 9.5.5 Where no completion process existsWhere a specific trade-completion mechanism is not yet available in the App for a particular type of trade, the general dispute and liability provisions of these Terms govern. As Villager adds features for arranging, agreeing to, or completing service trades, those features operate in addition to, and do not replace, the provisions of these Terms.6. In-Person Meetings and Services: Your Responsibility and Assumption of RiskTrades under this Service are completed in person, between individuals who are, in most cases, strangers to one another. Villager does not conduct background checks, identity verification, or any other vetting of users, and does not supervise or participate in any in-person meeting, exchange, or service.By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that meeting another user in person carries inherent risk, and that this risk is greater when a service is performed at a home or other private location. You are solely responsible for exercising reasonable care and judgment in deciding whether, when, and where to meet another user, whether to provide or receive a service, and whether to continue. We recommend meeting in a public, well-lit location, telling a friend or family member where you are going, and trusting your own judgment if a situation feels unsafe. You assume all risk arising from any in-person interaction with another user and from any service you provide or receive, including the risk of bodily injury, property damage, and loss, to the fullest extent permitted by law.7. No-Shows and MisrepresentationVillager is not responsible for a user who fails to appear for an arranged trade or fails to perform an agreed service, or for a user who misrepresents the condition, authenticity, quality, or description of an item or service, or the user's qualifications. These are disputes between the users involved in that trade, and Villager is not a party to, and assumes no liability arising out of, the trade itself. Users who experience repeated no-shows or misrepresentation from another user may report that user to Villager using the in-app reporting tool, and Villager may, at its discretion, take action against the reported account, including warning, suspending, or terminating it. Reporting a user does not obligate Villager to mediate, investigate, resolve, or compensate for any individual trade dispute.8. User Conduct and Acceptable UseYou agree to use the App honestly and in good faith: to describe listed items and services accurately, to communicate with other users respectfully, and to follow through on trades you agree to. You agree to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy, which sets out the items, services, and conduct that are not permitted and which is part of these Terms. Violating the Acceptable Use Policy is a violation of these Terms.9. Disputes Between UsersVillager provides tools that allow users to communicate, arrange trades, and report problems, but Villager does not mediate, arbitrate, investigate, or resolve disputes between users, and has no obligation to do so. Any dispute arising from a trade, including disputes over an item's condition, the quality or completion of a service, a no-show, or a disagreement about the terms two users reached, is solely between the users involved. Nothing in these Terms should be read as a promise, express or implied, that Villager will resolve, compensate for, or otherwise become involved in a dispute between users, although Villager may choose to take action against a user's account as described in Section 10.10. Moderation and EnforcementVillager may, at its sole discretion and with or without notice, remove or hide any listing or other content, send notices, record strikes, pause trading privileges, or suspend or permanently terminate any account, for any violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy or for any conduct that Villager believes is harmful to users or to the App. Villager may review messages and other content related to a trade when it investigates a report or suspected violation. Villager is not required to investigate any report, to take any action, to tell you what action it took regarding another user, or to offer any appeal, although it may reverse a decision if it chooses. The Acceptable Use Policy describes how Villager generally intends to exercise this discretion, but it does not limit it.11. Your ContentYou keep ownership of the listings, photographs, and other content you post. By posting content, you give Villager a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the App. You represent that you own or have the right to post your content and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights. Villager may remove content that it believes infringes another person's rights. Villager will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. If you believe that content on Villager infringes your copyright, send a written notice that meets the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to Villager's designated copyright agent. The agent's contact information is posted in the App.12. Disclaimer of WarrantiesTHE APP, ALL LISTINGS, AND ALL SERVICES ARRANGED THROUGH THE APP ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. VILLAGER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY USER, LISTING, OR SERVICE IS ACCURATE, SAFE, QUALIFIED, OR LAWFUL.13. Limitation of LiabilityTO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VILLAGER AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROPERTY OR INJURY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP, ANY TRADE, ANY SERVICE PROVIDED OR RECEIVED, OR ANY IN-PERSON MEETING WITH ANOTHER USER, EVEN IF VILLAGER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. VILLAGER'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50).This limitation applies to claims arising from the conduct of other users, the condition of traded items, the performance or quality of any service, and any in-person meeting, to the fullest extent the law allows. It is not intended to, and does not, limit Villager's own liability for its own fraudulent, grossly negligent, willful, or knowingly deceptive conduct, or otherwise limit any right that cannot be waived by contract under applicable law, including North Carolina's and South Carolina's unfair and deceptive trade practices statutes.14. IndemnificationYou agree to indemnify and hold Villager harmless from any claim, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your use of the App, your violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, any service you provide or receive, or your interactions or trades with another user, except to the extent caused by Villager's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.15. TerminationYou may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. Villager may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, that Villager believes is harmful to other users or to the App, or for any other reason at Villager's discretion. Accounts that have been inactive for an extended period may be deleted as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 4.1, 4.3, 5.4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, and 19, will survive.16. PrivacyOur collection and use of information in connection with the App is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.17. Changes to These TermsWe may update these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will provide notice through the App or by other reasonable means before the change takes effect. Continued use of the App after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.18. Geographic Scope and State-Specific TermsThe Service is currently offered in North Carolina and South Carolina, and Villager intends to expand to additional states over time. The Terms in this document apply to all users regardless of location. Where a particular state's law requires a specific disclosure or grants a specific right that differs from the general terms above, that state-specific term is set out in this Section rather than woven into the general provisions above, so that adding a new state in the future means adding a subsection here rather than revising the document as a whole.18.1 North Carolina and South CarolinaFor users located in North Carolina or South Carolina, nothing in Section 13 is intended to limit any right or remedy available under the North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-1.1 et seq., or the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act, S.C. Code Ann. § 39-5-10 et seq., to the extent those statutes apply to Villager's own conduct and cannot be limited by agreement.18.2 Users Outside North Carolina and South CarolinaThe App is intended for users in North Carolina and South Carolina. If you use the App from outside those states, you are responsible for complying with the laws that apply where you are, and Villager may limit or block access to the App based on location.18.3 Additional StatesAs Villager expands to additional states, any state-specific terms required for that state will be added as a new subsection of this Section 18 and will apply only to users located in that state.19. Governing Law and VenueThese Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute

Acceptable Use PolicyVillager App LLCEffective Date: 10/15/2026This Acceptable Use Policy ("Policy") sets out what may and may not be listed, offered, or done on the Villager mobile application (the "App"). It is incorporated into, and is part of, the Villager Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms of Service. This Policy applies to everything you do through the App, including listings, photographs, messages, and in-person trades arranged through the App, and to services as well as items.1. Who May Use VillagerYou must be at least 18 years old to hold an account, and you may hold only one account. Minors may not hold accounts or message other users. An adult may list a child's outgrown items, such as clothing, toys, and bikes, from the adult's own account. In that case the adult must handle all communication and must be present at any in-person exchange. A minor may not be listed as the provider of any service. When a service is performed for a minor, such as tutoring for a child, the adult account holder must arrange it and must be present, in person or online, for the entire service. A service that the law restricts for minors may never be arranged for one.2. No Cash and No PaymentsVillager is cash-free. No cash, money, or payment of any kind may be listed, requested, offered, or exchanged as part of a trade arranged through Villager. This applies to partial payments, tips, deposits, and small top-up amounts used to even out a trade. It also applies to payments made through any payment application, bank transfer, gift card, stored-value card, cryptocurrency, or other monetary equivalent. Villager does not process payments, hold funds, or act as an escrow service. Villager cannot see what happens at an in-person exchange and relies on reports from users to identify violations of this rule.3. Prohibited ListingsYou may not list, offer, or request any of the following. Where this Policy allows an item with a disclosure, you must comply with the conditions stated.3.1 Illegal and regulated goods- Firearms, firearm frames and receivers, ammunition, and suppressors.

These are not permitted at this time.The only animal-derived item that is permitted is bone from domestic animals, with the acknowledgment in Schedule A. State and federal wildlife laws restrict trading as well as selling, and a disclosure does not make an otherwise prohibited item permitted. When in doubt, do not list the item. Villager may later allow additional items under conditions it announces.3.3 Adult content and sexual services- Sexual services of any kind.
- Pornography and sexually explicit material.
- Adult-content subscriptions and promotion of adult-content accounts.

- Villager does not verify credentials, licenses, insurance, skill, or background, and a listing does not mean that Villager has checked anything.
- You may not claim a license, certification, or insurance that you do not hold.
- Providers are independent users. Nothing on the App makes a provider an employee, agent, or contractor of Villager, or makes Villager responsible for the work.
- A person receiving a service must review the notice in Schedule A before sending an offer, and is responsible for deciding whether to proceed.
- Services performed at a person's home or other private location carry added risk. We recommend that you meet first in a public place, tell someone where you will be, and leave if you feel unsafe.4.4 Changes to the service categoriesVillager may add or remove service categories, and may require additional conditions, at any time. Services that are not listed in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 may be listed without an acknowledgment, as long as they comply with the rest of this Policy. A service that falls within Section 4.1 may not be listed under any category, including a general or miscellaneous category such as Odd Jobs, and Villager may remove it. Villager may also remove any listing for an item or service that it believes poses an unreasonable risk of injury, death, or property damage, or that it has not reviewed, whether or not this Policy names it. A decision not to remove a listing does not mean that Villager has reviewed, approved, or checked it.5. Prohibited Conduct5.1 Safety and harassment- Threats, intimidation, and violence.

Paid sponsorship, if Villager offers it, will be clearly labeled as such.5.5 Display names and profilesDisplay names and profiles may not contain slurs, profanity, impersonation of another person or business, or contact information such as a phone number, email address, or social media handle.6. Artificial IntelligenceVillager is for real people trading real things and skills.6.1 Creative work, photographs, and listing textArt, images, photographs, music, writing, and other creative work that was substantially created by generative artificial intelligence may not be offered as an item or service, including under Creative Services. Listing photographs must be real photographs of the actual item. Ordinary camera and editing features, such as cropping, rotating, and brightness and color adjustment, are permitted. Using AI to generate, add, remove, or alter the content of a listing photograph is not. Listing titles and descriptions must be written by the user and may not be written by artificial intelligence.6.2 Accounts, offers, and conversationsYou may not use artificial intelligence, bots, or scripts to create accounts, to operate an account on someone else's behalf, or to make or answer offers, send messages, hold conversations, or complete trades. Offers and conversations must come from the real person who holds the account.6.3 EnforcementVillager may not be able to detect the use of AI and acts on reports and clear evidence.7. MinorsNothing may be listed, posted, or said that sexualizes, targets, or endangers a minor. Account holders must be 18 or older, as described in Section 1.8. ReportingYou may report a listing, profile, or testimonial by using the Report feature in the App, choosing a reason, and adding an optional note. Reports are reviewed by Villager and are visible only to Villager. Villager does not tell a reported user who made a report, except where the law or legal process requires. Villager may automatically hide reported content while it is reviewed, and may change how that works at any time. Villager may acknowledge a report but is not required to investigate it, to take any particular action, to tell you what action was taken, or to compensate anyone. Reporting does not give you any right against Villager.9. Enforcement9.1 Villager's discretionVillager may, at its sole discretion and with or without notice, remove any listing or content, send a written notice, record a strike, pause an account's trading privileges, or permanently ban an account, for any violation of this Policy or for conduct that Villager believes is harmful to users or to the App. The examples and categories in this Section describe how Villager generally intends to act. They are not promises, and Villager may act more or less severely depending on the circumstances.9.2 Severe violationsThe following may result in a permanent ban without prior notice, and strikes for these violations do not expire: anything that sexualizes a minor, which is also reported to authorities; credible threats of violence; listing weapons, drugs, or other clearly illegal items; sexual services; impersonation or fraud; creating a new account to evade a ban; and using bots or AI to create accounts or to automate offers, messages, or trades.9.3 Standard violationsFor other violations, Villager generally removes the listing, may send a short written notice stating the listing removed and the rule that applied, and may record a strike. These include a listing in a prohibited category, a listing in an acknowledgment category without the acknowledgment, misrepresenting an item or service, cash or payment requests, advertising, harassment that is not a threat, repeated no-shows, and AI-generated creative work, listing photographs, or listi

Privacy PolicyVillager App LLCEffective Date: 10/15/2026This Privacy Policy explains how Villager App LLC ("Villager," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information in connection with the Villager mobile application (the "App"). This Policy is incorporated into, and should be read alongside, our Terms of Service.1. Information We CollectWe collect the following categories of information:- Account information: your email address, a display name, and a general location (such as a town or ZIP code) that you provide when you register.
- Profile information: a profile photo, a profile bio, and interests that you choose to add.
- Listing information: descriptions and photographs of items or services you choose to list for trade.
- Communications: messages you exchange with other users through the App to arrange a trade, and any reports or support requests you submit to us.
- Acceptance records: the date and version of each policy you accept and each acknowledgment you confirm.
- Reports and moderation records: reports you submit or that are submitted about you, and our records of any action we take, as described in Section 6.
- Device and usage information: information about the device you use to access the App, such as device type and operating system, and information about how you use the App, such as pages viewed and features used.We do not collect payment card, bank account, or other financial account information, because Villager does not process payments. Trades on the App involve no cash or monetary exchange.2. How We Use InformationWe use the information we collect to operate and improve the App, to let you create listings and communicate with other users, to facilitate the arrangement of trades, to respond to support requests and reports, to maintain the safety and integrity of the App, and to comply with legal obligations.3. What Other Users Can SeeBecause Villager is a marketplace where trades are completed in person, some of your information is necessarily visible to other users so that a trade can actually happen. Your listings, display name, profile photo, bio, completed-trade count, and testimonials are visible to other users, together with the town you entered as your general location. Your ZIP code and your exact home address are not shown to other users. When you and another user agree to a trade and communicate to arrange it, each of you will typically share further details, such as a specific meeting location or additional contact information, directly with one another through the App's messaging feature. Villager does not require you to share your home address with another user, and we recommend arranging trades at a public location rather than a private residence.4. In-Person Meetings and Location InformationVillager does not access, request, or collect your device's precise location, and the App does not use GPS or any mapping service to determine where you are. The only location information Villager has is what you choose to enter yourself, such as a town or ZIP code selected from a dropdown or typed in at registration, and that self-entered location is what is shown to other users as described in Section 3. Any further, more specific location shared with another user to arrange a particular trade, such as a meeting spot, is shared directly by you through the App's messaging feature, at your discretion, not automatically by Villager.5. How We Share InformationOther than the visibility to other users described in Section 3, we do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:- Service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, or customer support, under obligations to protect that information.
- Law enforcement or other parties where required by law, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a user or the public, or to investigate fraud or violations of our Terms.
- A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.6. Reports, Moderation Records, and Message ReviewWhen a user reports content or another user, or when we otherwise suspect a violation of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy, we may review the content involved, including the messages exchanged between the users in a trade conversation, in order to decide what action to take. Messages that you send through the App are not private from Villager for this purpose.We keep a moderation log that may include the date of a report or action, the users involved, the reason for the report, the rule that applied, the action taken, whether a notice was sent, and related notes. Reports are visible only to Villager. We do not tell a reported user who made the report, and we do not share details of action taken against one user with another user, except where the law or legal process requires. We retain moderation records for up to three years after the related action or the resolution of the report, and longer where we need them to respond to a legal claim or legal process.7. Data RetentionWe retain account and listing information for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account and associated information as described in Section 10. We may delete an account that has had no login for twelve months. Before doing so, we will send a notice by email to the address on the account at about eleven months and again 30 days before deletion, and we will not delete an account that has an open trade, report, or dispute. After an account is deleted, there is a 60-day period during which the account can be recovered, after which the account information is permanently deleted, except for information we are permitted or required to retain as described in this Policy.8. Data SecurityWe use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.9. Children's PrivacyThe App is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, anyone under the age of 18, consistent with the eligibility requirement in our Terms of Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it. A parent or guardian who believes we may have collected information from a child under 13 should contact us using the information in Section 13.10. Your Choices and RightsYou may access and update most of your account information, including the location you have entered, directly within the App. You may request that we delete your account and associated personal information by contacting us as described in Section 13; we will honor that request except where we are permitted or required to retain certain information for legal, safety, or dispute-resolution purposes.11. State-Specific DisclosuresThe information in this Section supplements the general provisions above for users in the states listed below. As Villager expands to additional states, disclosures specific to a new state will be added as a new subsection here, rather than by revising the Policy as a whole.11.1 North Carolina and South CarolinaVillager's launch markets are North Carolina and South Carolina. North Carolina has not enacted a comprehensive consumer privacy statute as of this Policy's effective date. South Carolina enacted an Age-Appropriate Design Code in February 2026 (S.C. Code Ann. § 39-80-10 et seq.). That law applies to online services that meet certain thresholds, such as gross annual revenues over $25,000,000, handling the personal data of 50,000 or more consumers, households, or devices, or deriving half or more of revenue from selling or sharing personal data, and that are reasonably likely to be accessed by minors. Villager is an adults-only service and does not currently meet those thresholds. This Section will be updated if Villager's size changes such that the Design Code applies, if either state enacts a broader consumer privacy statute, or as we expand to states with their own requirements.12. Changes to This PolicyWe may update this Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will provide notice through the App or by other reasonable means before the change takes effect. If we introduce a feature that collects a new kind of information, such as a mailed verification code to confirm the city you live in, which would require collecting a mailing address, we will update this Policy before we begin collecting it.13.
