We use Cookies for a number of different reasons:
We obtain your consent to our Cookies by providing you with transparent information in our Privacy Policy and providing you with the opportunity to make your choice. You have the right to object to the use of Cookies. Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools that are available as part of most devices, and in some but not all instances can be blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Please be aware that if you disable or remove these Cookies some parts of our Services will not work and that when you revisit our Services your ability to limit cookies is subject to your device settings and limitations. You can also find out more information about managing, disabling, and deleting cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
The information we collect from you may be used by us for the purposes for which it was collected, as provided in this Privacy Policy, or for other purposes that are disclosed to you and to which you consent. We may use and disclose information collected from you as follows:
Generally, we do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties without your consent. However, in order to provide you with the Services, we may need to transfer your Personal Information to our subsidiaries, parent companies, employees, contractors, consultants, government agencies and regulators, and other parties who require such information to assist us with managing and administering our relationship with you, including:
Additionally, in order to provide you with the Services, we may need to transfer your Personal Information to third party technology companies for the purposes of processing and storing your Personal Information. Our business necessitates using: (a) cloud storage and hosting providers; (b) email services providers; and (c) payment processors. We consider these services, platforms, and applications to be integral to our delivery of the Services to you.
Under certain circumstances, we may disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
We reserve the right to transfer Personal Information to a third party in the event that we merge with or are acquired by a third party, or as part of the negotiations leading up to such merger or acquisition. We also may disclose your Personal Information for any other purpose permitted by law or to which you consent.
We may disclose your Personal Information in the good faith belief that such action is necessary:
We do not sell our users’ Personal Information to third parties.
We may request to send you push notifications regarding your account or the App. If you wish to opt-out from receiving these types of communications, you may turn them off in your device’s settings.
We use Firebase Google Analytics, which is a mobile app analytics service offered by Google. We also use Mixpanel, which is a product analytics service offered by Mixpanel, Inc. We use Firebase Google Analytics and Mixpanel to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the App through the use of first party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things, analyze and track users’ use of the App, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand online activity. More information about Google Analytics for Firebase can be found here. More information about Mixpanel can be found here.
We use all options that Google Analytics and Mixpanel provide for maximising your privacy including instructing them to anonymise your IP address, transmitting data by an SSL connection only, and manually stripping out any personally identifiable information before transmitting to Google Analytics and Mixpanel.
If you do not consent to having your activity on our Services made available to Google Analytics or Mixpanel, please do not use our Services or submit any Personal Information to us.
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We are committed to ensuring your Personal Information is protected and will use industry-standard security measures, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, to do so. Personal Information may only be accessed by persons within our organization who require such access to provide you with the services indicated above. All personal information is stored in a password secured database inside a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
While we endeavour to keep your Personal Information safe, our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information is not without risks. For example, our security safeguards may be compromised by viruses, hacking attempts, or physical break-ins. Consequently, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information. If your Personal Information was wrongfully accessed, there is a risk that you may suffer a harm, such as identity or credit card theft or financial loss.
Please be careful whenever sending Personal Information to us via email. Email is generally not a secure means of transferring information. We therefore cannot guarantee that this information will not be lost or used in a fraudulent manner and we encourage the use of email encryption or other encrypted services to communicate with us.
Please also be careful to keep your email password secure. In order to help keep your email password secure, we encourage you to never give out your email password, and to enable multi-factor authentication.
We may need to transfer your Personal Information to our subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as to our service providers, for processing. This processing supports our business. For example, we may transfer your Personal Information to our cloud hosting provider for storage and retention purposes. We ensure that these recipients of your Personal Information are contractually obligated to keep your Personal Information confidential, to use it only for the purposes for which we transfer it to them, and to process the Personal Information with standards at least as stringent as those set out in this policy.
Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we do business or our service providers do business. We may transfer your Personal Information to countries other than your own country, including to the United States. These countries may have data protection rules that are different from your country. When transferring data across borders, we take measures to comply with applicable data protection laws related to such transfer. Officials (such as law enforcement or security authorities) in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Information. By using any of our Services, or by sending us any Personal Information, you consent to such transfers.
We will endeavour to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Information will take place to a third party organization unless such organization is obligated to maintain adequate security safeguards over your Personal Information.
The Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. If you follow a link to a third-party website or engage a third-party plugin, please note that these third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 13, please contact us using the contact information provided below.
You have a right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of your Personal Information and to have it amended, as appropriate. You also have a right to request access to your Personal Information and receive an accounting of how that information has been used and disclosed, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law.
