At Whatscan we recognize that privacy is significant. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to your use of the Whatscan applications on all platforms (the “Application” or “Applications”), the related services we provide (“Services”).
Follower Whatscan (“us” or “we”) has created this Policy to explain our privacy practices so that you will understand what information about you is collected, used and disclosed with respect to the Applications, the Services and the Site.
By using Application, the Services or the Site, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Policy.
This Policy covers our collection, use and disclosure of your information through the Application and the Services. It does not cover any collection, use or disclosure by third parties through any applications, Web sites, products or services that we do not control or own, such as Facebook, or any third party features or services made available via an Application, the Services or the Site. All trademarks, trade names, and logos of third parties featured on the Applications or the Site belong to their respective owners.
A. INTRODUCTION
Most of our apps simply do not collect and/or transmit any uniquely identifying information about you or your device at all. But some of them do, mostly by way of third party components.
Please note that none of our apps structurally collect and transmit privacy sensitive data to our own servers. That's simply not something we want to do or be associated with. If any privacy sensitive information is used at all, it is generally gathered by code provided by a third party, and transmitted to their servers.
This page is the same for all our apps, so all the situations sketched here should be seen as the worst case scenario if you use all of our apps together.
B. LICENSING
To check if you have a valid license for a paid app or in-app purchases, your device's serial number, IMEI, ESN, a (semi-)unique number generated at first install time, or your store account name, may be transmitted and checked against. However, for most of our apps all of this is handled (if checked at all) by the store application rather than the app itself, so please see the stores section below.
C. STORES
The stores you download and install our apps from may track all sorts of privacy-sensitive information ( e.g. when you download Whatscan for Instagram at the Google Play Store, Google may collect your sensitive information. For further detail, please refer to Google Play policy). While that is not directly related to our apps, our apps may request the store to verify if you own a valid license, which in turn may cause the store application to gather and transmit privacy sensitive information to the store's servers. Please consult the policies of the store you use to download our apps from (if any).
