USING THE APP
- The App is part of the 118 118 Money service. If and when You register or log in through the App, We will use the details You provide to create or connect Your 118 118 Money and 118M8 accounts. This gives You one set of login details to access Your 118 118 Money products and services securely in one place. Because 118M8 and 118 118 Money form a single, connected service, Your accounts cannot be unlinked or used separately.
- If You no longer wish to use Our App, You can close Your account at any time by contacting us, and We will delete Your information in line with Our Privacy Policy. We will always use Your data for marketing in a PECR compliant manner, where You have provided opt-in, or where We are legally permitted to do so under soft opt-in.

We may immediately (either temporarily or permanently) suspend, restrict or stop Your access to or use of the App and close Your Account, if We reasonably believe or suspect:
- suspicious or fraudulent activity or transactions are being carried out on Your Account; or
- there is or has been unauthorised or fraudulent use of Your Security Information (for example, if a device is used that We do not recognise, You inform us that Your device has been stolen or if We detect that Your device is used in a way that is unusual).

- You will usually be able to access and use the App at any time. However, sometimes, it may not be available or some features may be unavailable, or it may be temporarily slow – for instance, if We experience technical issues or We need to carry out repairs, maintenance or We need to update the App.
