Pion Beta Program
After completing the enrollment procedure, data will be stored in a private Google Spreadsheet and will not be shared or published (only Pion will have access to them). Beta users might be added to Pion Beta Program Services (such as Google Play beta program or Beta Program Google Group). Notice that some information (such as the name or the email) might be exposed publicly into those services (this may depend on the Beta tester's Google account preferences). Pion will not be responsible for any trouble or inconvenience related to the exposure of that data in these services, as users might choose not to enroll Beta Program and avoid these exposures.
The email and name might be copied and used in several private Google Spreadsheets and / or other services.
Beta testers might receive an email requesting to fill up an online form providing information about their skills so that they can receive tasks that best suit their abilities. This information will be stored privately on a Google Spreadsheet. Any information sent to Pion using Google Forms might be stored indefinitely in one or several Google Spreadsheets, linked directly to each email adress.
If a Beta tester exits the Program (see Pion Beta Program - Terms of Service, section 6) all the personal data associated to the email described in Pion Beta Program - Terms of Service, section 2.1.1 and related to Pion Beta Program will be completely erased from private Google Spreadsheets (that is, the name). Some references to their name and email might still be accessible and publicly exposed indefinitely (such as emails). The email might still be present in some private Google Spreadsheets, but never linked to the tester's name.
