3.1 Information collected during downloads

When you download an app, some basic information is provided to the app store of your choice (Google Play or Apple App Store). This information includes your username, email address, customer account number, download time and individual device identification number. As this data is processed exclusively through the respective app store, the way it is processed is beyond our control. When you first download the app, we also ask you to indicate the country in which you intend to use it so that we can offer your services in the relevant language. Without this information, we will not be able to offer you access to the app in your own language.
 

3.2 Information collected automatically

Some information is collected automatically when the application is used. This includes internal device ID, operating system version and language, resolution. We do not store this data, but it is automatically processed by the application to enable you to use the application and its associated features, monitor the performance characteristics of the application, and prevent and eliminate malfunctions.
