2. Definitions
- App: The mobile application Challenge Monster.
- Personal Data: Any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. For our App, this is primarily your email address and the photos you send.
- Usage Data: Data collected automatically, either generated by the use of the App or from the App infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a session).
- Data Controller: The natural or legal person who (either alone or jointly or in common with other persons) determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal information are, or are to be, processed. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, we are the Data Controller of your Personal Data.
3. Information We Collect and How
We have designed our App to collect minimal Personal Data. The information we collect includes:
a) Personal Data Provided by You:
- Email Address: We collect your email address when you voluntarily register and sign in to the App using the "Google Sign-In" authentication service. We do not collect your Google password or any other information from your Google account.
b) Permissions for App Functionality:
- Camera Access: To use the core features of the App, you must grant it permission to access your device's camera. This allows you to create photos and videos to participate in challenges. This permission is only activated by your direct action within the App. The content you create is processed to fulfill the challenge and is stored on our servers unless you delete the challenge within the App.
c) Usage Data (Collected Automatically):
- We may collect information that your device sends whenever you use our App. This Usage Data may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, device type, operating system version, the time and date of your use, and other diagnostic data. This data is typically anonymized and is used for improving app stability and performance.
4. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data (under GDPR)
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.
We process your Personal Data because:
- It is necessary for the performance of a contract with you: To provide you with the App's core services, create your account, and manage your participation in challenges.
- You have given us your consent to do so: For specific actions where consent is required.
- It is in our legitimate interests: For purposes like ensuring the security of our App, preventing fraud, and analyzing performance to improve our service, and these interests are not overridden by your data-protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
- To comply with the law: To fulfill our legal and regulatory obligations.
5. How We Use Your Data
We use the collected data for various purposes:
- To provide, operate, and maintain our App.
- To manage your account and your identity as a user.
- To enable your participation in the App's challenges.
- To communicate with you, including sending you essential service-related notifications, security alerts, and support messages.
- To monitor the usage of our App to detect, prevent, and address technical issues.
- To fulfill any legal obligations we may have.
6. Data Retention Policy
We will retain your Personal Data (your email address and photos) only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain your data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services. If you choose to delete your account, we will take steps to delete your Personal Data from our active servers in a timely manner, unless we are required by law to retain it for a longer period.
To completely delete your account you can use the form at the bottom. From the app you can easily delete all photos taken but not your account actually.
7. Transfer of Data
Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to -- and maintained on -- computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. As we are based in France, your information will be processed here. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and that no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place, including the security of your data.
8. Disclosure of Data
We do not sell or rent your Personal Data. We may disclose your information in the limited circumstances described below:
- Service Providers: We use Google's authentication service for sign-in. This service is governed by its own privacy policy.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to protect and defend our rights or property, to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the App, or to protect the personal safety of users or the public.
- Business Transaction: If E-Serenity is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred.
9. Data Security
The security of your data is a priority. We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. However, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
