How does >x< set my country setting?
When you access >x<, we receive information about your location, such as your IP address, as described in Section 1.2 of our Privacy Policy. If you have Precise Location enabled we will also collect precise location information from GPS, or information about wireless networks or cell towers near your mobile device. We may use this information to determine a person’s location to withhold content under local law. We also use information about your location to determine the country setting for your account, based on the countries where we make our services available. If we are unable to successfully resolve your location to one of these countries, it will be set to the United States by default. Changing your country setting will not affect content we withhold under local law. Please note that the country or region displayed under the ‘About this Account’ (described below) is inferred only by your aggregated IP addresses.
