Privacy Policy
Last updated on June 14, 2023
Introduction
This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you access and use our mobile application.
our commitment to your privacy
We are committed to ensuring a high degree of user privacy. As part of this commitment, we want to assure you that we do not collect any photo imaging or video from your device's camera. Our focus is solely on the mechanics and metadata that result from the image recognition process. This means that while we process the images you scan for character recognition, we do not store or retain the actual visual content.
Furthermore, we respect your privacy when it comes to your persaonlly created data. We do not collect or store assets such as notes or bookmarks on any of our servers. Your personal data remains entirely within the confines of your device and private iCloud storage (when enabled), ensuring that only you have access to them.
Our dedication to user privacy means that we prioritize the security and confidentiality of your data, allowing you to use our app with peace of mind.
information we collect
The information we collect primarily consists of image classification details, which are utilized to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of our image recognition algorithms. These details enable us to improve future endeavors and provide you with a better user experience. Additionally, we collect usage statistics, such as the count and frequency of created resources, including annotations and verse retrieval. These statistics help us understand how our users interact with the app and allow us to make informed decisions to further enhance our services.
We are committed to utilizing this data responsibly and in compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations.
how we use the information we collect
We use the information collected through TurnTo for the following purposes:
To improve the accuracy of character recognition learning algorithms.
To allow data backups and restore across multiple devices.
To reference when sharing to social media applications.
While the information we collect does not explicitly identify you as a unique person, it is still possible for you to be identifiable if you intentionally create and share data from within the app, which includes personal information such as name and/or location. We may use or store information wherever we do business.
information we share with third parties
We will not share the personal information we have collected from you, except in the following circumstances:
When you publish notes to share with your friends on various other social media platforms.
With service providers who are working with us in connection with the operation of services. These service providers have access to your personal information only to perform services on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose it or use it for any other purposes, and they are subject to compliance with this Privacy Policy.
We may share aggregated information and non-identifiable information with third parties or partners for industry analysis, demographic profiling, and other similar purposes.
When you give us your consent to do so, including if we notify you that the information you provide will be shared in a particular manner and you provide such information.
When we believe in good faith that we are lawfully authorized or required to do so, or that doing so is reasonably necessary or appropriate to comply with the law, regulation, legal processes, or in response to lawful requests or legal authorities, including responding to lawful subpoenas, warrants, or court orders.
To enforce or apply our privacy policy, our terms of use, or our other policies or agreements, and in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, financing or acquisition, or in any other situation where personal information may be disclosed or transferred as one of our business assets.
We are not responsible for the actions of service providers or other third parties, nor are we responsible for any additional information you provide directly to any third parties.
links to other sites
TurnTo may contain links to other third-party sites. Any information that you provide on a third-party site is provided directly to the owner of that site and is subject to that party's privacy policy. Our privacy policy does not apply to such sites, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of those third-party sites.
steps we take to protect your information online
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
accessing and modifying your information
If you want to deactivate or delete your information and your account, please contact us with a request to delete your account and information. We will take steps to delete your information as soon as practicable, but some information may remain in archived/backup copies for our records and as otherwise required by law.
changes
Any information that is collected is subject to the privacy policy in effect at the time such information is collected. We may modify and revise our privacy policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this policy, we will notify you of such changes by posting them within the TurnTo app or through other notification methods, and we will indicate when such changes will become effective. By continuing to access or use TurnTo after those changes become effective, you are agreeing to be bound by the revised policy.
