Anti-fraud measures
We, and third party services we use, may track you in order to prevent fraud and dangerous or inappropriate behaviour on our service. We do not provide exact details of the techniques used, as this information would allow problem users to circumvent these measures, and would therefore put genuine users at risk. Where we use such techniques we will only use them for the purposes described above.
