Privacy Policy
Your privacy is
critically important to us. I, Kristian Andaker, and anyone else who might
participate in the development of apps or websites covered by this privacy
policy, have a few fundamental principles:
Below is our
privacy policy which incorporates these goals. The structure and much of the
contents of this privacy policy are copied from Automattic Inc.’s privacy policy Dec 21st
2016. They
gracefully make that policy language available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license. They’re the makers of several
Internet services, including wordpress.com.
Kristian
Andaker, from now referred to as “the author”, on
12/20/2016 operates 1 app under this Privacy Policy: the
Photo Immersion app in the Windows 10 store. But more apps and websites may be
added as covered by this policy, without the policy being updated to list them
all. If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact photoimmersion@andaker.com.
The detailed
descriptions below describe the Privacy Policy the author will adhere to if
relevant functionality is added to the app or websites covered by this policy
in the future. Most of these scenarios are irrelevant today 12/20/2016 since
the 1 app so far covered by this privacy policy doesn’t offer functionality
relevant for these scenarios.
App Users
Like most app
and web site producers, the author might collect non-personally-identifying
information of the sort that mobile devices, web browsers and servers typically
make available, such as the device type, Operating System version, browser
type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each
visitor request. The author’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying
information is to better understand how the author’s visitors use its website
and apps. From time to time, the author may release non-personally-identifying
information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the
usage of its website and apps.
The author also
might collect potentially personally-identifying
information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. The
author only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same
circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying
information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying
Information
Certain
visitors to the author’s websites and apps choose to interact with these in
ways that require the author to gather personally-identifying
information. The amount and type of information that the author gathers depends
on the nature of the interaction. For example, we might ask visitors who create
an account to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in
transactions with the author – by purchasing some app or website service, for
example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary
the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.
In each case, the author collects such information only insofar as is necessary
or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with the
author. The author does not disclose personally-identifying
information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to
supply personally-identifying information, with the
caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain app- and website-related
activities.
Aggregated Statistics
The author may
collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. The author may
display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, the author does
not disclose personally-identifying information other
than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying
Information
The author discloses
potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors
and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know
that information in order to process it on the author’s behalf or to provide
services available at the author’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to
disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated
organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the author’s
websites and apps, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The
author will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying
and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees,
contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, the author discloses
potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order
or other governmental request, or when the author believes in good faith that
disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of the
author, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of
one of the authors apps or websites and have supplied your email address, the
author may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features,
solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with the
author and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to
communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email
to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via
one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to
help us support other users. The author takes all measures reasonably necessary
to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of
potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a
string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that
the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. The
author might use cookies to help the author identify and track visitors, their
usage of the author’s website, and their website access preferences. Visitors
who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their
browsers to refuse cookies before using the author’s websites, with the
drawback that certain features of the author’s websites may not function
properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If the app and
website assets covered by this policy, were acquired, or in the unlikely event
that the author goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information
would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.
You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of these
assets may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this
policy.
Ads
Ads appearing
on any of our websites or in any of our apps may be delivered to users by
advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to
recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to
compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information
allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that
they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the
use of cookies by the author and does not cover the use of cookies by any
advertisers.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most
changes are likely to be minor, the author may change its Privacy Policy from
time to time, and in the author’s sole discretion. The author encourages
visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. The
apps and websites covered by this policy may also surface information about
Privacy Policy changes. Your continued use of these apps and sites after any
change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
