1. WHAT INFORMATION DO I COLLECT?
Personal information you disclose to me
In Short: The only personal information I collect is personal email addresses that you voluntarily provide to me.
I collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to me when you express an interest in obtaining information about me or my products and Services, when you participate in certain activities on the Services (such as completing a form on a website I control), or otherwise when you contact me.
Personal Information Provided by You. The only personal information I may collect or will request is email addresses. You should not include or disclose any personal information other than your personal email address in any direct communication to me or when visiting or using my website. If you include your name or any other personal information in any communication or interaction with me, I will only use your personal information for the purposes of communicating or interacting with you, and I will delete your personal information when it is no longer required for my Services. I will never collect personal information in any of my apps, with the exception of email addresses from emails that are sent through my apps to me, only for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. I will never collect personal information from children under 13 years old.
Sensitive Information. I do not process or collect sensitive information. I will never request or ask for sensitive personal information.
All personal information that you provide to me must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify me of any changes to such personal information.
Information automatically collected
In Short: Some information such as device characteristics may be collected automatically and anonymously when you use my Services. Additionally, some information may be collected for 3rd party services - such as your IP address, Device IDs, and advertising identifiers - for advertisements and other services to function properly.
I automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use my Services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of my Services, and for my internal analytics and reporting purposes.
The information I collect includes:
Log, Usage, and Performance Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information that may be automatically collected when you access or use my Services and which may be recorded in log files. Depending on how you interact with me, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type, and settings and information about your activity in the Services (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches, and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called "crash dumps"), and hardware settings). Performance data may be user-associated, but does not contain personal information.
Device Data. I collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Services. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.
Advertising Data. Advertising data, including but not limited to advertisements that may be shown to you, may be automatically collected and sent to 3rd parties, such as Google AdMob, as required for 3rd party ad services to function properly. Other user product interactions like app launch taps, and interaction information, like video views, may be collected and sent to 3rd parties to improve advertising performance. Restricted data processing for advertising data is enabled for all apps to increase your privacy when possible.
2. HOW DO I PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: I process your information to provide, improve, and administer my Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. I may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.
I process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with my Services, including:
To respond to user inquiries / offer support to users. I may process your information to respond to your inquiries and solve any potential issues you might have with the requested service.
To send you marketing and promotional communications. I may process the personal information you send to me for my marketing purposes, if this is in accordance with your marketing preferences. You can opt out of my marketing emails at any time. For more information, see "6. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?" below.
To evaluate and improve my Services, products, marketing, and your experience. I may process your information when I believe it is necessary to identify usage trends, determine the effectiveness of my promotional campaigns, and to evaluate and improve my Services, products, marketing, and your experience.
To display advertisements. Information may be automatically collected for advertisement purposes and provided to 3rd parties, such as Google AdMob, to display ads in my Apps and Services. I will not process information collected for this purpose unless it is required for me to provide my Services.
3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO I SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: I may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following categories of third parties.
Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. I may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who perform services for me or on my behalf and require access to such information to do that work. The categories of third parties I may share personal information with are as follows:
Ad Networks
Website Hosting Service Providers
Data Analytics Services
Performance Monitoring Tools
Sales & Marketing Tools
4. HOW LONG DO I KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: I keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
I will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When I have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, I will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then I will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
5. HOW DO I KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: I take protecting your personal information seriously.
I have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information I process. However, despite my safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so I cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat my security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although I will do my best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from my Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
6. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: Your rights vary depending on where you are located. You can unsubscribe from any marketing and promotional emails that you recieve at anytime. You can also let me know if you'd like me to delete any personal information I have about you, if any such information exists.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe I am unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.
If you are located in Switzerland, the contact details for the data protection authorities are available here: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html.
Withdrawing your consent: If I am relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting me by using the contact details provided in the section "10. HOW CAN YOU CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Opting out of marketing and promotional communications: You can unsubscribe from my marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that I send, or by contacting me using the details provided in the section "10. HOW CAN YOU CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, I may still communicate with you, for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email me at jacobwe.dev@gmail.com.
7. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, I do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that I must follow in the future, I will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
8. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from me, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to me using the contact information provided below.
9. DO I MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
In Short: This notice will be updated as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.
I may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If I make material changes to this privacy notice, I may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. I encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
