Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at [bPatel@calmi2.org](mailto: bPatel@calmi2.org).
When you use SODA, as the case may be (the "App") and more generally, use any of our services (the "Services", which include the App), we appreciate that you are trusting us with your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy notice, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. We hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important. If there are any terms in this privacy notice that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our Services immediately.
This privacy notice applies to all information collected through our Services (which, as described above, includes our App), as well as, any related services, sales, marketing, or events.
Please read this privacy notice carefully as it will help you understand what we do with the information that we collect.
In Short: Some information — User interactions within the app, errors and/or system information — is collected automatically when you use our App.
We automatically collect certain information when you launch, use, or navigate the App. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, operating system, language preferences, information about how you use our App, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the operation of our App, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
We employ the use of Google Analytics to track and log user events within the app. To learn more, please visit their Terms of service
The information we collect includes:
- Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data, service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information are automatically collected when you access or use our App and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include operating system version and settings and information about your activity in the App (such as actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, and error reports (sometimes called 'crash dumps')).
We use information collected via our App for a variety of business purposes described below. We process this information for these purposes in reliance on our legitimate business interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, and/or for compliance with our legal obligations. We indicate the specific processing grounds we rely on next to each purpose listed below.
We use the information we collect or receive:
For other business purposes. We may use your information for other business purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, and to evaluate and improve our App, products, and your experience. We use and store this information in aggregated and anonymized form so that it is not associated with individual end-users and does not include personal information. We do not use identifiable personal information within this app.
We do not share user information with anyone and only used it within our internal statistical analysis to comply with laws, to provide you with services, and to protect your rights.
Within SODA, we use Google's Universal Analytics program to track anonymized user interactions within the app. To learn more about the technologies used within this application please refer to Security and privacy in Universal Analytics.
We will only keep your user interaction 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.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your information, we will either delete or anonymize such information or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any information we process. However, despite our 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 we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your information, the transmission of personal information to and from our App is always a possible risk. You should only access the App within a secure environment.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are 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: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.
If you are a resident in Switzerland, the contact details for the data protection authorities are available here: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html.
Most operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
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 our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, 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 us using the contact information provided below.
If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered account with the App, you have the right to request the removal of unwanted data. To request removal of such data, please contact us using the contact information provided below, and include a statement that you reside in California. We will make sure the data is not tracked on the App, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or comprehensively removed from all our systems (e.g. backups, etc.).
We 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 we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
Based on the applicable laws of your country, you may have the right to request access to the information we collect from you, change that information, or delete it in some circumstances.
