accounts. <\/strong>This increases data sharing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decline unnecessary permissions.<\/strong> Don\u2019t permit unnecessary permissions, such as camera, location, or contacts, unless strictly required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Turn off push notifications.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t want tracking of your app activity or extra ads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delay payout until you\u2019re sure. <\/strong>Test the JustPlay app for a few days before agreeing to the face scan, so you know if it\u2019s worth your time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delete the app and face data. <\/strong>Delete the JustPlay app and request deletion of your face data once you stop using it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cash out frequently. <\/strong>To avoid losing coins (they expire after 1 year).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Track your rewards. <\/strong>Compare playtime vs. payout to see if it\u2019s worth continuing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t buy virtual items. <\/strong>They\u2019re non-refundable and add no real earning potential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a VPN cautiously. <\/strong>JustPlay bans VPN use for fraud prevention, so using one risks getting banned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opt out.<\/strong> Of marketing cookies and personalized ads in the app\u2019s privacy settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limit app permissions in your phone settings.
