By connecting your account via these providers, we receive certain information they make available such as your name, email address, profile picture, and unique provider user ID.
We do not store your social network passwords. We only store the unique identifier provided by each service to link your account. You can disconnect OAuth providers at any time from your account settings.
Managing Personal Information
You are able to access, update, and delete certain Personal Information we have about you. You can update your profile information from your account settings page.
