1. Data We Collect and Collection Methods
Your privacy is crucial to us. When engaging with our Apps or reaching out to us directly, we gather and process your Personal Data. This collection can broadly be classified into:
Directly Provided Information:
Using certain features of our Apps might prompt you to share Personal Data with us. This includes providing an email address when seeking support or making inquiries. If permission is granted, certain Apps might require access to your device's documents or images. You can upload specific documents or images for processing within our Apps, optionally including your email address. We only process documents or images you specifically select for modification. We do not collect images or documents from your social media accounts.
Automatically Collected Information:
Device-specific information and interaction data with our Apps and Websites may be automatically collected. This includes device identifiers, location data, Google Advertising ID, Apple ID for Advertising, screen resolutions, and usage patterns. We utilize third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase) to assist in gathering this information, which may involve cookies and similar technologies. These service providers, who directly collect or are disclosed this information, use it to evaluate your interaction with our Apps and Websites.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies:
We employ third-party cookies for analytics and functionality purposes, enabling a smoother user experience. Mobile devices might use similar tracking technologies, such as Apple’s Advertising Identifier or Google's Advertising ID. Opting out of interest-based advertising doesn't eliminate ads but makes them non-personalized.
Data from Social Media Connections:
Connecting via social media permits us to collect and use information as agreed through social media APIs, like your username and account details, under this Policy.
2. Third-Party Data Processing
This Policy doesn’t cover third-party data handling (e.g., by social media platforms or analytics services). We don’t control these third parties' data processing practices. Consult their privacy policies for more information.
3. Legal Bases for Processing
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process Personal Data based on contractual necessity, legitimate interests, legal obligations, or your consent, particularly for direct marketing if you've expressed interest in our Apps.
4. Use of Personal Data
Personal Data processing enables us to provide our Apps and services. We use your data to ensure the Apps' functionality, support user inquiries, improve and analyze app usage, aggregate data for analytics, and communicate with you, including for marketing purposes. Opt-out options are available for marketing communications.
5. Sharing Personal Data
We share Personal Data with third parties, including service providers, analytics partners, and as required by law. Data sharing enables us to offer our Apps, enhance user experiences, and comply with legal obligations. Your data may also be shared with ChatGPT for generating responses to your queries.
6. Data Retention
We retain your Personal Data as needed for service provision, marketing preferences, and compliance with legal obligations. You have control over some data, which can be deleted anytime.
7. Your Rights
You possess rights over your Personal Data, including the right to opt-out, access, rectification, erasure, and, for EEA individuals, data portability, and objection to processing. You can revoke app permissions and opt-out of marketing communications through device settings.
8. Security Measures
We implement robust security measures to protect your information, though no system can be entirely secure. Efforts are made to ensure the confidentiality of your data.
9. International Transfers
Your Personal Data might be processed outside your country, under adequate protections like the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our Apps do not target children under 13. We take steps to delete any inadvertently collected data from children under this age.
11. Third-Party Links
Our Apps and Websites may include links to third-party sites, whose privacy practices differ from ours. We recommend you review their policies.
12. Modifications to the Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy. Changes become effective upon posting. Regularly reviewing this policy is advised.
