I am not really sure how I can, resolve this point, so does Agnes de Leon. I am talking about [point 33131](https://edit.tosdr.org/points/33131).

“OsmAnd discount pop-up notifications,”

I think what is this supposed to mean is that OsmAnd may use personal data to inform users about their discounts.

But:

- is showing discount pop-ups considered marketing?
- are discounts considered marketing?
- do they really use personal data to show discount pop-ups?
- how is the personal data involved in showing discount pop-ups?

I have reached the OsmAnd support team and they have provided a quick and clear response to these questions:

- Pop-up notifications are not personalized based on individual user data. They are generally sent to all users or user groups based on app version, geographical region or general user preferences.
- No personally identifiable data is used for discount pop-ups, only aggregated and anonymized data

Declining this point.
