If you do not accept the terms of the Privacy Policy, we ask that you do not use the App. Please exit the App immediately and delete it if you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

4. SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND INFORMATION

Sharing with third parties. We will share your Personal Data and information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose your Personal Data:

• as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process.
• when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
• if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
• to any other third party with your prior explicit consent to do so.

We share the information we collect with third-party business partners who commit to comply with applicable laws concerning their usage of your Personal Data (for example, GDPR for the EU residents). Our third-party business partners may share your Personal Data with their own third-party business partners, granted they have appropriate data protection safeguards in place, and use the information either for themselves or on behalf of their own business partners to:

• operate and improve their services;
• provide you with advertisements and information for products and services in this app or on other apps or websites based on variables such as your location, and assess your level of engagement with them;
• carry out other purposes that are disclosed to you and to which you consent.

Depending on the service you use, we may share some of your Personal Data and information with third-party business partners who perform analytical and other tasks for us (in some jurisdictions such parties may qualify for being a ‘processor’ under applicable laws). These are the third-party services with whom, among others, we may share some of your Personal Data and information:

Our third-party partners are either EU-based or certified under EU-US Privacy Shield Framework that ensures that European data protection requirements are met. We commit to execute formal data processing agreements with any of our partners to ensure your privacy rights are observed. The privacy policy of these services can be found on their respective websites. Be informed that some third-party service providers may have their servers located in the United States.

You can use your device settings in iOS in order to stop sharing your IDFA with any third parties. In any case, unless otherwise is provided by this Section, sharing of your IDFA does not result in any advertising that might be shown to you by the above services. The use of these identifiers is strictly limited to the purposes indicated in this Section of the Privacy Policy.

BY USING THE APP, YOU CONSENT THAT WE MAY USE COOKIES AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND COLLECT YOUR USAGE (INCLUDING FOR PROCESSING BY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS) AND SOME PERSONAL DATA UNDER A UNIQUE IDENTIFIER, FOR THE PURPOSES OF TRACKING, ANALYSIS, AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE APP. BY USING OUR SERVICE, YOU EXPLICITLY CONSENT TO THE USE AND PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA COLLECTED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

Aggregated Information. We may also share aggregated, anonymized or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may share, including, without limitation, in articles, blog posts and scientific publications, general age demographic information and aggregate statistics about certain activities or symptoms from data collected to help identify patterns across users.

5. DATA SECURITY

Security of your Personal Data is important to us. When you provide your Personal data that is considered to be sensitive or falls under “categories of special data” under applicable laws to us, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

Among others, we utilize the following security measures to protect your Personal Data:

• Pseudonymization and tokenization of certain categories of your Personal Data;
• Protection of data integrity;
• Encryption of your Personal Data in transit and in rest;
• Systematic vulnerability scanning and penetration testing;
• Organizational and legal measures. For example, our employees have different levels of access to your Personal Data, and only those in charge of data management get access to your Personal Data and only for limited purposes required for the operation of the App. We impose strict liability on our employees for any disclosures, unauthorized accesses, alterations, destructions, misuses of your Personal Data.
• Conducting periodical data protection impact assessments in order to ensure that the App fully adheres to the principles of ‘privacy by design’, ‘privacy by default’ and other internationally accepted data protection principles. We also commit to undertake privacy audit in case of Company’s merger or takeover.

Bear in mind that no method of transmission, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our App, you can contact us at info@starfocus.me.
