PRIVACY POLICY FOR APPLICATIONS (STATUS: FEBRUARY 2024)
 

INTRODUCTION

ALPEIN Software respects the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our mobile application (the “Application”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE APPLICATION.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “STATUS” date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates. You will be deemed to have been made aware of, will be subject to, and will be deemed to have accepted the changes in any revised Privacy Policy by your continued use of the Application after the date such revised Privacy Policy is posted.  

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the third-party online/mobile store from which you install the Application or make payments, including any virtual items, which may also collect and use data about you. We are not responsible for any of the data collected by any such third party.

 

1. COLLECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Application depends on the content and materials you use, and includes:

1.1 Personal Data

Demographic and other personally identifiable information (such as a subscription plan and your email address for a free version, paid subscriptions require some additional data: name, address, company, phone number) that you voluntarily give to us when choosing to use the Application. In addition to this data, we store a date of the Application registration and a date of the last login to the Application which are needed to perform our retention policy.

1.2 Derivative Data

When you access the Application, our server can send you a notification about a login from new device. This information is deleted from the server immediately after sending. Our Zero-knowledge concept of data storage prevents creating server logs of your activity in the Application.

1.3 Mobile Device Access

Our applications may request access or permission to certain features on your mobile device.  This is a general list of possible features; each individual application may not require all of the following features:

  - Contacts,

  - Add or remove accounts (from SWISS SECURIUM® family),

  - Storage,

  - Use fingerprint hardware or camera,

  - Network access & connections

  - Camera

and other features. If you wish to change the application access or permissions, you may do so in your device’s settings.

1.4 Mobile Device Data

Device information such as your mobile device ID number, model, and manufacturer, version of your operating system, location, install / uninstall / crush / non-responsive / update info and any other data you choose to provide.

This data is collected by App Store and Google Play and is available to ALPEIN Software in the application statistics in the aggregated form (depersonalized).

Mobile Device Data is also added to your support requests sent via the <Leave feedback> feature in the Application. This data is visible to a user when composing the request.
