We appreciate that you trust us with your information and we intend to always keep that trust. This starts with making sure you understand the information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and your choices regarding your information.

1. WHO WE ARE

We are a small team in Albright Dictionary.

We focus on making simple & useful Android apps.

2. WHERE THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES

This Privacy Policy applies to websites, apps and other services operated by APP. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as our “services” in this Privacy Policy. To make it extra clear, we’ve added links to this Privacy Policy on all applicable services.

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

It goes without saying, we can’t help you have an awesome user experience without some information about you, such as your email address. We also collect information generated as you use our services, for example access logs, as well as information from third parties, like when you access our services through your Gmail account. If you want additional info, we go into more detail below.

Information you give us

You choose to give us certain information when using our services. This includes:

·         When you create your account, you provide us with your login credentials, such as email address, name and password.

·         Similarly, if you consent, we may collect your photos (for instance, if you want to create an avatar on your profile) or send you email marketing.

·         To use certain features in our services like Lens in Translator, you may allow us to access your camera or the microphone. Depending on your device, Apple and Android system will ask for your permission before allowing us to access these features.

·         Features that allow you to share content about your use of our services with your connections or through your social network.

4. COOKIES AND OTHER SIMILAR DATA COLLECTION TECHNOLOGIES

As described in Sections 3 and 5 of this Privacy Policy, we sometimes work with third parties to deliver ads or offers. Sometimes we or these third parties do so through a mobile “SDK.” The SDK is a bit of computer code that app developers can include in their apps to enable data to be collected and ads to be shown. We may use this and similar technology to deliver certain advertising through mobile applications and browsers based on data associated with your mobile device, and we may work with third parties who likewise embed their SDKs into our services, for third party advertising. If you’d like to opt-out from having ads tailored to you in this way on your mobile device, please follow the instructions below.

If you wish to opt out of interest-based cross-application tracking through your mobile device, you can do so through your device “settings”, as follows (but please note that the below is for informational purposes only and Apple, Google, or other device platforms may change the manner in which their “opt out” settings work at any time): Please note that if you opt out through these settings, you will continue to receive advertising after you opt-out, but it may not be tailored to your interests. For instance, that advertising may be based on your real-time or “contextual” application usage or general location inferred from IP address.

If you have an Apple device, you can opt out of mobile interest-based or “cross-app” advertising by updating to IOS 6.0 or higher, and setting Limit Ad Tracking to ‘ON’. On an iPhone 6 for example, you can do this by clicking on Settings -> General -> Privacy -> Advertising and toggling “Limit Ad Tracking” to ‘ON’. Our systems are designed to respect your choice and not use your personal information to provide interest-based advertising when this setting is ON.

Opting Out on Android Devices

If you have an Android device and would like to opt out of mobile interest-based or “cross-app” advertising, you may do this as follows:

·         Open the Settings app on your device

·         Go to “Google”

·         Select Ads

·         Opt out of interest-based ads

5. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

When you are on our services, third-party ad partners may provide you with advertising based upon your interests. These companies may use technologies to collect data about users, including non-precise location data, to help them tailor relevant ads and measure ads’ effectiveness. These companies may collect this data through SDKs or from users who view or interact with their advertisements. If you do not wish to receive in-application advertising, in some cases you can upgrade to the paid version of the app.

We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information that you submit within the mobile application.

Depending on your location you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to how we use your personal information:

·         Correction: you may have inaccurate/incomplete personal information corrected and updated;

·         Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: you can ask us to stop using all or some of your personal information or to limit our use of it.

·         Deletion: in certain circumstances, you can request a right “to be forgotten” (this is a right to have your information deleted or our use of your data restricted). We will honour such requests unless we have to retain this information to comply with a legal obligation or unless we have an overriding interest to retain it.

·         Portability: in certain circumstances, exercise the right to data portability (this is a right to obtain a transferable version of your personal information to transfer to another provider)

·         Consent Management: where we rely on consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw consent at any time. You do not have to provide a reason for your withdrawal where processing is based on consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or wish to object to our use of your information, please write to us at the address listed below and we will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws.

Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on the rights and freedoms of another person. For example, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to the processing of personal information, notably where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.

For your protection, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.

8. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and after it is received. Your account information is protected by a password. We work hard to protect you from unauthorized access to or alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information. As with all technology companies, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information will always remain secure. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks and regularly review our information collection, storage and processing practices to update our physical, technical and organizational security measures.

We may suspend your use of all or part of the services without notice if we suspect or detect any breach of security. If you believe that your account or information is no longer secure, please notify us immediately at 

albrightdictionaryapp@gmail.com

9. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

We retain your information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the services to you. We will also retain and use your information to the extent necessary:

·         to comply with applicable law;

·         to evidence our compliance with applicable law;

·         if there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep the relevant information until it is resolved; or

·         if the information must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as enforcing our terms or fraud prevention. For example, information may need to be kept to prevent a user who was banned for security incidents from opening a new account.

Keep in mind that even though our systems are designed to carry out data deletion processes according to the above guidelines, we cannot promise that all data will be deleted within a specific timeframe due to technical constraints.
