THE APP OWNER (E.G., THE BUSINESS/ENTITY WHO OWN THE APPLICATION IN STAKE) AND/OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND/OR OPERATING PARTNERS, AGENCIES (“BUSINESS”, “WE”, “US”, “OUR”), RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY.
This is the privacy policy (“Policy”) that governs how we use personal information that we collect, receive and store about individuals in connection with the use of our mobile software application (the “App”). We are the data controller, as described below in this Policy. We work with data processors to whom we have instructed not to collect, store or process personal information on our behalf.
This Policy describes the ways your personal information and data is collected, used, and shared and the rights and options available to you with respect to your information.
“Contact Us” Information. By sending an email to an email address that we display, you are required to provide us with certain information such as your name and email address. We only use that information to respond to your message or request. We never collect information for commercial marketing.
Mobile Device Data. We may collect information about the mobile device, such as mobile device identifier and/or account identifier (Android UDID, iOS UUID; Advertising ID: IDFA for iOS devices and AAID for Android devices, or their equivalent), the Internet protocol (IP) address of the device used to access the Internet, geo-location (if enabled), device type and its operating system version.
Location. We process your geolocation information to provide you with spatial coordinates based on your location (“Location Based Services”). These Location Based Services apply whenever your location is made available to us. By disabling your geo-location (e.g., through the mobile device operating system), certain features which require your geo-location information may not function or may be interrupted.
Personal information about children who are under 13 years, or other minimum age which applies in your country (16 in most EU countries) is not knowingly or intentionally collected. If you are under that age, you are not permitted to use the App, or use any aspect of the App. If you have reason to suspect that data about children is collected, you are kindly requested to immediately report it to us.
The information we collect will be used for the following purposes (please note the GDPR legal basis next to each purpose):
The information outlined in the preceding sections, may be shared with, or transferred to our processors or vendors for the purposes of helping us provide the App and its respective services. This includes our processors, vendors and third parties which provide you with services, features or content in connection with the App such as online ordering, scheduling, ecommerce services, games, payments, communications, customer support, feedback, plugins or APIs, or companies that host the App. If you wish to receive further information, please contact us (as detailed hereunder).
In addition to the above, we may share the information as follows:
The App collects anonymized as well as aggregated information, which does not identify you personally. Such anonymized or aggregated information will be used by us in any way without restrictions or limitations.
Analytics Tools. We may use Analytics Tools (such as “Google Analytics”). By enabling such tools, we enable the collection of data about App users, including via identifiers for mobile devices (including Android Advertising ID and Advertising Identifier for iOS), cookies and similar technologies. We use the information we get from such tools to maintain and improve our App(s). We do not facilitate the merging of personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information unless we have robust notice of, and your prior affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent to, that merger.
Google API. Our App may use Google API. For further details please see the Google API terms of service at https://developers.google.com/terms and the Google privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy
Data collected through the Levee Inspection System can be loaded to the National Levee Database with proper user permissions. All public users can leverage the Levee Inspection System to capture inspection information on the user’s device. That data will remain local until it is successfully synced with the National Levee Database through specific user interaction requesting the syncing of the data and providing valid login credentials when prompted to allow the sync.
Data captured on the user’s device will not be synced or available outside the user’s device in which the information was captured unless valid user credentials are provided. Once information is synced to the National Levee Database, that information will persist there as part of the National Levee Database. Previously captured information may be loaded to user’s device if user credentials are successfully provided.
Personally identifiable information is not collected by the Levee Inspection System, so data retention of personal information is not an issue.
Under data protection law, you have rights including:
Please contact us as detailed hereunder if you wish to make a request.
This Policy may be changed from time to time and, therefore, we ask you to check back periodically for the latest version of this Policy.
You may send requests, responses, questions, and complaints by contacting us.
Please consult the National Levee Database for our contact details.
(GDPR only) If your question relates to our data protection officer (DPO) or representative in the EU, we will forward the request accordingly.
