sent through or in connection with PicMagic.
We undertake to build PicMagic and any of its
features in such a way that it respects your privacy and are committed to
protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy
Policy allows you not only to understand what we do with your Personal Data (as
defined below), but also to manage your Personal Data effectively.
By downloading, installing, registering with,
accessing or using ("Using") PicMagic, you agree to this Privacy
Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, do not Use PicMagic.
By Using PicMagic you understand and agree that
we are providing a platform for you to stylize the User Content (as defined
below). If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or PicMagic, please
contact us (for contact information, please, see How to Contact Us Section).
This Privacy Policy DOES NOT apply to
information that:
Our websites and other apps, and these other
third parties may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to
read before providing information on or through them.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to
understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we
will treat it. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time.
We collect several types of information from
and about you ("Collected
Information"), including information:
We collect this information:
To the extent information is: (i) associated
with an identified or identifiable natural person and (ii) protected as
personal data under applicable data protection laws, such information is
referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Personal Data". Please bear in mind
that provisions of Section 5 do not apply to your pseudonymized Personal Data.
When you Use PicMagic, we may ask you to
provide information, including your Personal Data:
When you Use PicMagic, we may use automatic
data collection technologies to collect certain Collected Information about
your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:
We also may use these technologies to collect
information about your online activities over time and across third-party
websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). If you do not want us
to collect this information, do not download PicMagic or delete it from your
device.
The information we collect automatically under
this Privacy Policy may include your Personal Data, we may maintain it or
associate it with your Personal Data we collect in other ways or receive from
third parties. It helps us to improve PicMagic and to deliver a better and more
personalized service, including by enabling us to:
If the information covered by this Section 3 is
aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer reasonably associated with an
identified or identifiable natural person, we may use it for any business
purpose.
The technologies we use for automatic data
collection may include:
Third-party analytics. We use third-party analytics tools, such as Google
Analytics, Facebook Analytics, Google Firebase, AppsFlyer, Amplitude, to help
us measure traffic and Usage trends for PicMagic. These tools collect
information sent by your device or PicMagic, including the web pages you visit,
add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving PicMagic. We
collect and use this analytics information with analytics information from
other Users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular
individual User.
Device identifiers. When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to Use PicMagic,
we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store
one or more "device
identifiers". Device identifiers are small data files or
similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which
uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may identify data
stored in connection with the device hardware, operating system or other
software, or data sent to the device by us. A device identifier may deliver
information to us or to a third party partner about how you browse and Use PicMagic
and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads. Some
features of PicMagic may not function properly if use or availability of device
identifiers is impaired or disabled. Among others we may collect the following
device identifiers:
Metadata.
Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with the User Content.
For example, metadata can describe how, when and by whom some User Content was collected
and how that content is formatted. You can add or may have metadata added to
your User Content including a hashtag (e.g., to mark keywords when you share a
photo) or other data.
In addition to some of the specific uses of
information we describe in this Privacy Policy, we use the Collected
Information, including any Personal Data:
We will not process your Personal Data in a way
that is incompatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or
authorized by you in accordance with this Section 4 or collect any Personal
Data that is not required for the mentioned purposes ("purpose limitation principle").
For any new purpose of processing we will ask
for your separate consent. To the extent necessary for those purposes, we take
all reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Data is reliable for its
intended use, accurate, complete and current. We also undertake to collect only
such amount and types of your Personal Data that are strictly required for the
purposes mentioned in this Section 4 ("data minimization principle").
Access, modification, correction and erasure. You can request to access, modify, correct, update and
erase your Personal Data, that you have provided to us and that we have about
you in your PicMagic account settings or by contacting us (for contact
information, please, see How to Contact Us Section). We may not accommodate a
request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or
legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
EEA residents. Individuals residing in the European Economic Area ("EEA") have certain
statutory rights in relation to their Personal Data, such as introduced by the
General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). You can exercise them by
contacting us (for contact information, please, see How to Contact Us Section).
Please keep in mind that in case of a vague access,
erasure, objection request or any other request in exercise of the mentioned
rights we may engage you in a dialogue so that to better understand the
motivation for the request and to locate responsive information. In case this
is impossible, we reserve the right to refuse granting your request.
Following the provisions of the GDPR we might
also ask you to prove your identity (for example, by requesting an ID or other
proof) in order for you to invoke the mentioned rights. This is made to ensure
that no right of third parties are violated by your request, and the mentioned
rights are exercised by an actual Personal Data subject or an authorized
person.
Please note that we will grant your request
within 30 days after receiving it, but it may take up to 90 days in some cases,
for example, for full erasure of your Personal Data stored in our backup
systems - this is due to the size and complexity of the systems we use to store
data.
Your California privacy rights. If you are a California resident, California law may
provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your Personal Data.
California’s "Shine the Light"
law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of PicMagicthat are California
residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal
Data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a
request, please contact us (for contact information, please, see How to Contact
Us Section).
We may disclose aggregated information about
our Users, and information that does not identify any individual, without
restriction. We may remove parts of data that can identify you and share
anonymized data with any parties. We may also combine your Collected
Information (including your Personal Data) with other information in a way that
it is no longer associated with you and share that aggregated information.
We will not rent or sell your Personal Data to
third parties outside the company (or the group of companies of which we are a
part) without your consent, except for the parties with whom we may share your
information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Parties with whom we may share your Personal
Data. We may share your Personal Data and User
Content (including but not limited to, information from cookies, log files,
device identifiers and Usage data) with businesses that are legally part of the
same group of companies that we are part of, including our subsidiaries, or
that become part of that group ("Affiliates").
Affiliates may use this information to help provide, understand, and improve PicMagic
(including by providing analytics) and Affiliates’ own services (including by
providing you with better and more relevant experiences). Such Affiliates are
bound by the rules of this Privacy Policy.
We also may share your Personal Data as well as
information from tools such as device identifiers with third-party
organizations such as contractors and service providers that we use to support
our business and who are bound by reasonable confidentiality and data
protection terms to keep your Personal Data confidential and use it only for
the purposes for which we disclose it to them ("Service Providers").
The parties we share your Personal Data with
are either EEA-based or compliant with the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield
Frameworks (each of them and collectively "Privacy Shield") that ensure that
European data privacy requirements are met. We also utilize standard
contractual clauses and other contractual safeguards in order to protect your
privacy and ensure that all transfers of your Personal Data are safe and
compliant with applicable laws.
Parties with whom you may choose to share your
User Content. Any information or content that you
voluntarily stylize with PicMagic, such as User Content, becomes available to PicMagic
anonymously.
What happens in the event of a change of
control. If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the
whole of the company or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course
of a transaction like a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization,
acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your Personal Data, User
Content and any other Collected Information may be among the items sold or
transferred. You will continue to own your User Content. The buyer or
transferee will have to honor the commitments we have made in this Privacy
Policy.
Responding to legal requests and preventing
harm. We may access, preserve and share your
information in response to a legal (like a search warrant, court order or
subpoena), government or regulatory request if we have a good faith belief that
the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal, government
or regulatory requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we
have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that
jurisdiction, affects the Users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with
internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share
information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: detect,
prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you
and others, including as part of investigations; and to prevent death or
imminent bodily harm. Information we receive about you may be accessed,
processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of
a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations
concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to
prevent harm.
We comply with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S.
Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce
regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Data transferred from the
EEA and Switzerland to the United States. We have certified to the Department
of Commerce that we adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles ("Principles"). If
there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the
Principles, the Principles shall prevail.
Data security. We use reasonable and appropriate information security
safeguards to help keep the Collected Information (including your Personal
Data) secure and to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss and from
unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the
transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although
we do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security
of your Personal Data transmitted to or through PicMagic or an absolute
guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or
destroyed. Any transmission of your Personal Data is at your own risk. We are
not responsible for circumvention of security measures contained in PicMagic.
Please understand that there is no ideal technology or measure to maintain 100%
security. Among others, we utilize the following information security measures:
Data retention. We will retain your Personal Data as long as your account
is active or needed to provide you services through PicMagic, and only for as
long as it serves purposes of processing identified in Section 4. At any time,
you can remove your Personal Data Using in-app features or instruct us to
remove it by contacting us (for contact information, please, see How to Contact
Us Section).
All information that you provide to us through PicMagic
is automatically uploaded to our servers and is stored there in duplicate to
the information stored on your device. If you remove data from your User
account, you will no longer see it in PicMagic, but some backups of the data
may remain in our archive servers for a reasonable period of time due to
technical reasons.
Third-party (onward) transfers and Privacy
Shield compliance. In the context of an
onward transfer, we have responsibility for the processing of your Personal
Data we receive under the Privacy Shield or generally from the EEA and Swiss
residents and subsequent transfer to a third party acting as an agent on our
behalf. We remain liable under the Principles and GDPR, if our agent processes
such Personal Data in a manner inconsistent with the Principles and GDPR,
unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the
damage. For any onward transfer we commit to execute a formal agreement with
any receiving party or processor acting on our behalf.
If we receive Personal Data subject to our
certification under the Privacy Shield and then transfer it to a third-party
service provider acting as an agent on our behalf, we have certain liability
under the Privacy Shield if both (i) the agent processes the Personal Data in a
manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield and (ii) we are responsible for the
event giving rise to the damage.
