Information Collected Automatically
We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to receive and store certain types of information when you interact with us through your computer, mobile device or other device subject to your opt-out preferences (see Your Rights and Choices section below). Using these technologies helps us to customize your experience on the Platform, improve your experience, and tailor marketing messages. Here are some of the types of information we collect:
Log & device data. When you use the Platform, our servers automatically record information (“log data”), including information that your browser sends whenever you visit the Spark website. This log data may include the web address you came from or are going to, your device model, operating system, browser type, unique device identifier, IP address, mobile network carrier, and time zone or location. Whether we collect some or all of this information depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings. For example, different types of information are available depending on whether you’re using a Mac or a PC, or an iPhone or an Android phone. To learn more about what information your device makes available to us, please check the policies of the device manufacturers or software providers of that device.
Usage data. We collect information about how you use the Platform, such as the types of content you view, post and subscribe to, the features you use, the actions you take, and the time, frequency and duration of your activities.
Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
Cookie data. Depending on how you’re accessing the Platform and subject to your opt-out preferences, we may use “cookies” (a small text file sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your Platform account or your browser) or similar technologies to record log data. When we use cookies, we may use “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser deletes them). For example, we may use cookies to keep you logged in to the Platform. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your Platform account (including personal information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other cookies are not. To help us make emails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open email from us if your computer supports such capabilities. You can opt out of receiving emails from us. Please see Your Rights and Choices section below.
Other website analytics services. Subject to your opt-out preferences (see Your Rights and Choices below), we use third party service providers such as Google Analytics to provide certain analytics and user interactions services to WhatsGoodApps in connection with our operation of the Platform, including the collection and tracking of certain data and information regarding the characteristics and activities of visitors and users of the Platform. You may opt out of Google Analytics using Opt-Out Features on their website.

We use the payment information you provide us in order to alert you of past, current, and upcoming charges, to allow us to present the billing history to you on your billing page in the Platform, and to perform internal finance processes, such as looking at the status of a credit card charge. In the event of a credit card dispute, we also share account information with your bank to verify the legitimacy of a charge.

Security and Storage of Information
We have taken reasonable steps to help protect the personal information we collect. These measures include using SSL encryption. Unfortunately, no measures can be guaranteed to provide 100% security. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of your information in all circumstances.
You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your device and account by, among other things, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your login and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
We retain the personal data we collect for so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected, to perform our contractual and legal obligations, and for any applicable statute of limitations periods for the purposes of bringing and defending claims.
Third Party Links
Our Platform may contain links to third party websites and applications. Subject to your opt-out preferences (see Your Rights and Choices), we may also use third party advertisers, ad networks and other advertising, marketing and promotional companies, to serve advertisements on the Platform. Any access to and use of such linked websites and applications is not governed by this Policy but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those third parties. We do not endorse these parties, their content or any products and services they offer, and we are not responsible for the information practices of such third party websites or applications.
Users Outside the USA
Our application and database servers are located with Firebase, https://firebase.google.com. Google LLC, operators of Firebase, is certified under both the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks. If you are an individual located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Canada or another jurisdiction outside of the United States with laws and regulations governing personal data collection, use and disclosure that differ from United States laws, please be aware that information we collect (including through the use of methods such as cookies or other web technologies) may be processed and stored in the United States or in other countries where we or our third party service providers have operations. By submitting your personal information to the Platform and using the Platform, you expressly consent to having your personal data transferred to, processed and stored in the United States or another jurisdiction which may not offer the same level of privacy protection as those in the country where you reside or are a citizen.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area you have the following additional rights in relation to your Personal Data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
Right of access. You have the right to access your personal data that we hold about you, i.e. the right to require free of charge (i) information whether your personal data is retained, (ii) access to and/or (iii) duplicates of the personal data retained. You can use the right to access to your personal data by emailing us at contact@WhatsGoodApps.com. If the request affects the rights and freedoms of others or is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee (taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested) or refuse to act on the request.
Right to rectification. If we process your personal data, we shall endeavor to ensure by implementing suitable measures that your personal data is accurate and up to date for the purposes for which it was collected. If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can change the information you provided by emailing us at contact@WhatsGoodApps.com.
Right to erasure. You have the right to obtain deletion of personal data concerning you if the reason why we could collect it does not exist anymore or if there is another legal ground for its deletion. For such requests, email us at contact@WhatsGoodApps.com. In some cases, deletion of your Platform account, and therefore personal data deletion, is complicated. Considering the complexity and number of the requests, the period for personal data erasure may be extended, but for no longer than two further months.
Right to object. When our processing of your personal data is based on legitimate interests according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and this Privacy Policy, you have the right to object to this processing. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless there are compelling and prevailing legitimate grounds for the processing as described in Article 21 of the GDPR, in particular if the data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. You also have the right to lodge a complaint at a supervisory authority.
Right to restriction of processing. You have the right to obtain restriction of processing of your personal data under the conditions set out in article 18 of the GDPR.
Right to portability. You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller under the conditions set out in article 20 of the GDPR.
Right to post-mortem control. If French data protection legislation is applicable to you, you have the right to establish guidelines for the preservation, the deletion and the transmission of personal data after your death in accordance with article 40-1 of the Act No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 on Information, Technology, Data Files and Civil Liberties.
California Disclosures
California information sharing disclosure. California residents may request a list of all third parties with respect to which we have disclosed any information about you for direct marketing purposes and the categories of information disclosed. If you are a California resident and want such a list, please send us a written request by email to contact@WhatsGoodApps.com with “California Privacy Rights” in the subject line.
Do not track. We do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals as there is no consistent industry standard for compliance.

This Policy is current as of the date set forth below. We may change this Policy from time to time, and if we do, we’ll post any changes, including any material changes, on this page, so please check back periodically.
