Incode Technologies builds biometrics-based experiences for a wide range of businesses. Our apps showcase Incode's capabilities, facilitate testing and help clients and users better understand our experiences. When you use one of our services, apps or products, you'll share some information with us. We get that that can affect your privacy, so we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the choices we give you to control, access, and update your information.
That's why we've written this Privacy Policy. And it's why we've tried to write it in a way that's blissfully free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Of course, if you still have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us at pranav.chheda@incode.com.
There are three basic categories of information we collect:
Here's a little more detail on each of these categories.
When you interact with our services, we collect the information that you choose to share with us. For example, most of our services require you to set up a basic Incode account, so we need to collect a few important details about you, such as: an email address, a phone number, and your date of birth. To make it easier for others to find you, we may also ask you to provide us with some additional information that will be publicly visible on our services, such as profile pictures, a name, or other useful identifying information. Other services, such as commerce products, may also require you to provide us with a debit or credit card number and its associated account information.
Of course, you'll also provide us whatever information you send through the services, such as your photos on all the platforms you use and/or store them. Keep in mind that even though we encourage our artists to not save a copy of the content that is sent to them, there is always a possibility that the artists can save that content or copy it outside the app.
It probably goes without saying, but we'll say it anyway: When you contact Incode Support or communicate with us in any other way, we'll collect whatever information you volunteer.
When you use our services, we collect information about which of those services you've used and how you've used them. We might know, for instance, that you sent an order, specific number of pictures, the specific pictures sent, the order time, and other things.
Here's a fuller explanation of the types of information we collect when you use our services:
We may collect information that other users provide about you when they use our services. For example, if another user allows us to collect information from their device phonebook - and you're one of that user's contacts - we may combine the information we collect from that user's phonebook with other information we have collected about you. We may also obtain information from other companies that are owned or operated by us, or any other third-party sources, and combine that with the information we collect through our services.
What do we do with the information we collect? The short answer is: Provide you with an amazing set of products and services that we relentlessly improve. Here are some of the ways we do that:
We may also store some information locally on your device. For example, we may store information as local cache so that you can open the app and view content faster.
We may also share with third parties - such as advertisers - aggregated, non-personally identifiable, or de-identified information.
The services may also contain third-party links and search results, include third-party integrations, or offer a co-branded or third-party-branded service. Through these links, third-party integrations, and co-branded or third-party-branded services, you may be providing information (including personal information) directly to the third party, us, or both. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for how those third parties collect or use your information. As always, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of every third-party website or service that you visit or use, including those third parties you interact with through our services.
We may let other companies use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies on our services. These companies may collect information about how you use our services and other websites and online services over time and across different services. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your online activity. Additionally, some companies may use information collected on our services to deliver targeted advertisements on behalf of us or other companies, including on third-party websites and apps.
Although we welcome clients and users from all over the world, keep in mind that no matter where you live or where you happen to use our services, your information may be shared within the Incode Technologies Inc. family of companies. This means that we may collect your personal information from, transfer it to, and store and process it in the United States and other countries outside of where you live.
Our services are not intended for - and we don't direct them to - anyone under 13. And that's why we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. But when we do, we'll let you know one way or another. Sometimes, we'll let you know by revising the date at the top of the Privacy Policy that's available on our website.
