These systems operate without human review but do not result in legal or significant effects on users. You may contact us if you wish to opt out of automated profiling (where legally applicable).

Message frequency may vary. Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier.

You may opt out of non-essential messages at any time by replying STOP or contacting us at privacy@dizzyapp.us. However, opting out of required security and verification messages may prevent access to your account.
