4. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

 

In Short:  All the stored data are completely anonymized and hashed so there is no way to back track to any individual user or device.

 

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of data storage on the server and transmission between the App and the server. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure the data transmission, no electronic transmission over the Internet or data 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 access and steal, or modify the data stored on the server or in your device. Although we will do our best to protect your data (even they are completely anonymized and hashed and cannot back track to individual user or device), transmission of the data to and from the App is at your own risk. You should only consider to access the App within a secure environment.

In some regions (like the EEA and UK), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability.

6. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

 

In Short: At this moment, you can remove any historical point of interests you have been visited in the App manually as well as to turn off positioning feature in your device. The App may not be able to make recommendation for you if there is no any data collected.

 

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing 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 browser 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.

However, due to we don’t collect any personal information and we are not sharing any data to third parties for direct marketing purposes, and more importantly, all data collected and stored on the server is completely anonymized and hashed so there is no way for anyone including us to retrieve your data for you.
