SQUEGG’S PRIVACY POLICY
As of 5th May 2021
When you use our Services, we collect the following types of information:
ACCOUNT INFORMATION
Information you have provided in order to create an account on our App, such as your username, email address, and password are the only information we are requiring.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To help improve your experience, you may choose to provide us with additional information like your age, sex, and dominant hand. You may also connect with other users on the App or invite friends who have not yet joined by providing their email addresses, accessing social networking accounts, or using the contact list on your mobile device. We do not save your contact list and delete it after it is used for the above purpose.
If you contact us or participate in a survey, contest, or promotion, we collect information you submit such as your name, contact information, and message.
PAYMENT AND CARD INFORMATION
The App supports payments and transactions with third parties. If you activate this feature, you must provide certain information for identification and verification, such as your name, credit, debit, or other card information, card expiration date, and CVV code. This information is encrypted and sent to your card network, which upon approval sends back to your device a token, which is a set of random digits for engaging in transactions without exposing your card number. For your convenience, we store the last four digits of your card number and your card issuer’s name and contact information. You can remove the token from your account using your account settings. We do not store your transaction history.
If you purchase the Device from our website, you provide your payment information, including your name, credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code, and billing address. We do not store this payment information. We only store your shipping address to fulfill your order. Please be informed that third-party payment processors may retain this information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.
INFORMATION FROM YOUR USE OF THE DEVICE
The App collects data through your use of the device to estimate a variety of metrics like grip strength, grip count, dominant hand, blood pressure data, and data collected through various in-app activities. These may include but are not limited to your participation in the activity, your score for each activity, compliance and other details needed for us to provide your better information about your progress. When your device syncs with our App or software, the data recorded is transferred from your mobile device to our servers.
The App includes features that use precise geolocation data, including GPS signals, device sensors, Wi-Fi access points, and cell tower IDs. We collect this type of data if you give us access to your location. You can remove our access using your App or in your mobile device’s settings. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
When you access the App, we receive certain usage or network activity information. This includes information about your interaction with the Device and Services, for example, when you play games and what games you play using the Device.
We also collect data about the device you use to access the App, including your IP address, language, operating system, device and application identifiers, location, and cookie information.
INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTIES
If you choose to connect your account or Device to another service or application, we may receive information from the other service. For example, if you connect to Facebook or Google, we may receive information like your name, profile picture, age range, language, email address, and friends list. You may also choose to grant us access to your activity data from another service. You can stop sharing the information from the other service with us by removing our access to that other service.
We may partner with third parties, such as other tech companies that offer to integrate our Device into their platform. In such cases, these companies may provide us with your de-identified data, including your age, sex, dominant hand, and other data they collect in connection with your use of our Device. Should you so choose, they may also share with us your email address so that we can invite you to participate or determine your eligibility for particular benefits, such as discounts.
HOW SQUEGG USES YOUR INFORMATION
Your information is used and collected for the following purposes:
To provide and maintain the services
Using the information we collect, we are able to deliver the Services available to you and honor our Terms and Conditions contract with you. For example, we need to use your information to provide you your Device activity, and to give you customer support.
Improve, Personalize, and Develop the Services
The information we collect is also used to help improve and personalize the Services and the App and to develop new ones. For example, we use the information to troubleshoot and protect against errors; perform data analysis and testing; conduct research and surveys; and develop new features and services.
We also use your information to make inferences and show you more relevant content. For example, based on the games you play with the most frequency, we may make activity goals for you to help improve your grip strength.
Communicate with You
We also use your information when needed to send you notifications and respond to when you contact us. We also use your information to promote new features or products that we think you would be interested in. You can control marketing communications and most notifications by using your notification preferences or via the “unsubscribe” link in an email.
Promote Safety and Security
The information we collect is also used to promote the safety and security of the App, our users, and other parties. For example, we may use the information to authenticate users, facilitate secure payments, protect against fraud and abuse, respond to a legal request or claim, conduct audits, and enforce our terms and policies.
We also use cookies and other similar technology for the purposes as described above. For more information, please read our Cookie Use statement.
HOW SQUEGG SHARES YOUR INFORMATION
WE NEVER SELL THE PERSONAL INFORMATION OF OUR USERS. We also do not share your personal information except in the following circumstances:
When you agree or direct us to share
You may direct us to disclose your information to others. For certain information, we provide you with privacy preferences to control how your information is visible. Just remember that if you choose to participate in a challenge, information like your profile photo and personal statistics is not governed by your privacy preferences and will be visible to all other challenge participants.
You may also direct us to share your information in other ways, like when you give a third-party application access to your Device. Remember that their use of your information will be governed by their privacy policies and terms. You can revoke your consent to share with third party applications.
For external processing
We transfer information to our corporate affiliates, service provides, and other partners who process it for us, based on our instructions, and in compliance with this policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. These partners provide us with services globally, including for customer support, information technology, payments, sales, marketing, data analysis, research, and surveys.
For legal reasons
We may preserve or disclose information about you to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to assert legal rights, or defend against legal claims; or to prevent, detect, or investigate illegal activity, fraud, abuse, violations of our terms, or any threats to the security of the App or the physical safety of any person.
Please keep in mind that our policy is to notify you of legal processes seeking access to your information, such as search warrants, court orders, or subpoenas, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so. In cases where a court specifies a non-disclosure period, we provide delayed notice, after the expiration of the non-disclosure period. Exceptions to our notice policy include exigent or counterproductive circumstances.
We may share non-personal information that is aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. We may disclose such information publicly and to third parties, for example, in public reports about exercise and activity, to partners under agreement with us, or as part of the benchmarking information we provide to users who use the App.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will continue to take measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information and give affected users notice before transferring any personal information to a new entity.
