Privacy agreement 

This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use our Service.If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that we collect is used for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which is accessible at PicGrid unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.

After you set the relevant settings on your mobile device for technical access to your camera (to take photos)/photo library (to save photos), all visual data (like images, photos) that might be edited (processed) with help of the App is stored locally on your device and/or in your iCloud storage, and is inaccessible to us. Only you can share files to a certain party by exporting them through the App.

Moreover, we cannot access or use your credit card or debit card information. Our e-commerce provider (Apple) is responsible for billing, processing and charging for the in-app purchases, handles your personal information and keeps it absolutely safe and secure. You may access the applicable “in-app” purchase rules and policies directly from the App Store.

Similarly, we do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offenses.

I. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED

We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:

1.1. Directly from you:

Guided by the principle of data minimization we designed the App in a way that doesn’t require you to sign up for an account in order to use the App. It means that you do not need to provide us with any information that can be used to access the App (like full name, username, public username used on social media accounts, phone number(s), e-mail address or other similar information), however, when you decide to contact us using the e-mail (for example to inquire about the App or to request a support regarding the App usage) we may collect and use whatever contact information (name, e-mail address, and any information that you provide, including the contents of the messages or attachments) you send us via email when it is necessary for adequate performance of the contract between you and us. We use such information to respond effectively to your inquiry, fulfill your requests, and send you communications that you request.

1.2. Indirectly from you (Information collected by automated means):

When you use the App, some information about your mobile device and your user behavior may be processed automatically. This information is generally non-personal, i.e. it does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual, and we may access it only in aggregated form. We process this information on the ground of our legitimate interest in improving our App and giving our Users the best experience. If we do not access such data, we may not be able to provide you with all the features of the App.

We use third-party automatic data processing technologies to analyze certain information sent by your device via our App (advertising or analytics tools). Some of them launch automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, which means any form of automated processing of personal data used to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to you, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning your personal preferences, interests, behavior, location or movements (see the list of data described below). Processing information through automatic data processing technologies starts automatically when you launch the App. The following are the types of information we collect indirectly from you: Device Information. When you use a mobile device to access our App, some of details about your device are reported, including “device identifiers”. Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device (but not your personality). Device identifier enables generalized reporting or personalized content and ads by our partners, service providers, and/or other third parties.

The following data can be processed:

Information about the device itself: type of your mobile device, type of operating system and its version, model and manufacturer, screen size, screen density, orientation, battery, device memory usage. Information about the internet connection: mobile carrier, network provider, network type, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, timestamp and duration of sessions, speed, browser. Location-related information: IP-address, the country code/region/state, city associated with your SIM card or your device, (Designated Market Area (DMA) in US), language settings, time zone. Device identifiers: Identify for Advertisers (IDFA).

Information about the App. Its name, API key (identifier for the App), version, properties of our App can be reported for automated processing and analysis.

Cookies and similar technologies. When you use the App, cookies and similar technologies may be used (pixels, web beacons, scripts). A cookie is a text file containing small amounts of information which is downloaded to your device when you access the App. The text file is then sent back to the server each time you use the App. This enables us to operate the App more effectively. For example, we will know how many users access specific areas or features within our App and which links or ads they clicked on. We use this aggregated information to understand and optimize how our App is used, improve our marketing efforts, and provide content and features that are of interest to you. We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to the App, which may use cookies or similar technologies. Log file information. Log file information is automatically reported each time you make a request to access the App. It can also be provided when the App is installed on your device. When you use our App, analytics tools automatically record certain log file information, including time and date when you start and stop using the App, and how you interact with the App. Ad-related information. The following data might be reported about the ads you can view: the date and time a particular ad is served; a record if that ad was “clicked” or if it was shown as a “conversation” event; what ad offer is about; what type of ad it is (e.g., text, image, or video); which ad placement is involved (where the ad offer is displayed within the App); whether you respond to the ad. In-app events. When you use our App, analytics tools automatically record in-app information (tutorial steps, payments, in-app purchases, custom events).

Information provided automatically to advertising or analytics tools does not generally come to our control, therefore we cannot be responsible for processing such information. Please mind that some services are engaged in personal data profiling and may obtain information related to your personality and/or your device by using technologies that do not belong to our scope of responsibility. We do not control, supervise or stand surety for how the third parties process your personal data, that might be collected by their own means (not through our App). Any information request regarding the disclosure of your personal information should be directed to such third parties (see Section IV).

Log Data

We want to inform you that whenever you use our Service, in a case of an error in the app we collect data and information. This Log Data may include information such as your device model address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing our Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Service Providers

We want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.
