Sources of Personal Information

The App will collect limited information in order to carry out the purposes of the App. For example, the App collects the User’s contact information and the information input into the User’s profile on the App. The App will not collect sensitive information about you such as your Social Security number, birth date, or home address, unless you input it into your profile.

The Company also may compile statistical information concerning the usage of the App. This information allows the Company to monitor its utilization and continuously improve its quality. Examples of this information would include, but not be limited to, the number of times you access the App, or to sections or pages within the App, length of time spent on the App, or in sections or pages of the App, and the operating system(s) and device(s) you use to access the App. We also may collect the number of visitors to the App, patterns of traffic flowing through the App, the other sites that refer visitors to the App, features of the App that visitors frequently use as entry and exit points.

In order to compile this information, the Company may collect and store your operating system version, the length of time you spend on pages within the App, etc. While all of this information can be associated with the IP address your computer had while you visited the App, it will not be associated with you as an individual, or associated with any other information you may submit through the App, or that Company may store about you for any other purposes.

Additionally, and consistent with the Company’s Acceptable Use policy, the Company reserves the right to monitor the activity on the App at any time for any reason. Thus, you have no expectation of privacy with regard to your accessing or use of the App.

Note that if you choose not to provide your personal information, we may be unable to provide the App services, information, or assistance you are seeking.

Disclosure of Information

In the course of our normal business activities, we may disclose collected information to both affiliates and non-affiliated entities, as we deem necessary. We will not disclose your information for any purposes other than those related to our business activities unless otherwise permitted or required by law. For example, and without limitation, the Company may need to use or disclose this information with or to its third party vendors to: manage the App; process payments and requests for services; provide you with services; engage in marketing activities; enhance our services by, among other methods, obtaining assistance with providing more personalized services to you through analytics and other technologies; and protecting the Company’s interests and legal rights, such as through responding to subpoenas, and defending litigation. We endeavor to choose affiliates and non-affiliates whose standards for protecting personal information are similar to ours.

Other than when setting up your profile, the Company generally does not require you to provide personal information to obtain access to the App. In no case will the Company sell or license personal information to third parties, except as required or permitted by law. For example, we may sell, assign or share personal information in connection with certain business transactions, such as the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. In such cases, we will take appropriate steps under the circumstances and to the extent possible to ensure that the recipient agrees to provide privacy protections substantially similar to those established by the Terms.

Safeguarding Information

No system for safeguarding personal or other information is 100% secure. However, we take a number of steps to safeguard the personal information obtained or exchanged through the App. We use Google Single Sign-on with two-factor authentication for login and encrypt data in transit from the cloud to the device.

Tracking and Analytics

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the App to help customize the App and improve User experience. When you access the App, your personal information is not collected through the use of tracking technology. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the App. You may not decline web beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or by modifying your web browser’s settings to notify you each time a cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

We may also partner with selected third-party vendors [Google LLC https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites] to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the App through the use of first party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things, analyze and track Users’ use of the App, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand online activity. By accessing the App, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policies and contact them directly for responses to your questions. We do not transfer personal information to these third-party vendors. However, if you do not want any information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you can install and/or update your settings for one of the following:

[Apple devices: Settings > Apps > T:Buddy > Allow Tracking [OFF]

Android devices: Option is not available].

Note that getting a new computer, installing a new browser, upgrading an existing browser, or erasing or otherwise altering your browser’s cookies files may also clear certain opt-out cookies, plug-ins, or settings.

We may use analytics services, such as provided by Google Analytics, to help generate statistics about our App’s traffic, use, etc. The analytics services may transfer this information to third parties in case of a statutory obligation or if a third party processes data on behalf of that service. These analytics services will generate detailed statistics about traffic and other activities on the App. The information generated about your use of the App, including your IP address, will be anonymized by use of the appropriate settings. For more information on how IP anonymization works please see, for example, https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052 (link is external). By using the App, you consent to the processing of any personal data for the analytics purposes and functions described above.

Information of Children

The App is not directed to children as the services on this App are intended for persons 18 years of age and older. The Company does not knowingly collect, use or disclose any personal information from children. If you are concerned about a child’s use of the App, you may use web-filtering technology to supervise or limit access to the App.

Do Not Track

“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that you can set in your Internet search browser that sends a signal to a website that you do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information about you. However, because our App is not configured to detect Do Not Track signals from a user’s computer, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track requests.

Modifying Your Personal Information

If you would like to update your personal information on the App, you may [Go to Menu > Profile > Profile]. Also, if you wish to unsubscribe from other communications for which you have registered, you may [Go to Menu > Notification > Ellipses Icon > Unsubscribe to All].

Consent
