Aparlay Hong Kong ("Aparlay", "we", "us", "our") provides online and mobile services, including but not limited to, the BuzzAlert website ("BuzzAlert.app" or the "Site"), API, and mobile applications (collectively, the "Service"). Aparlay is committed to maintaining the privacy, integrity and security of any personal information about our users.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we protect personal information we collect in connection with your use of the Service and how we use and in some cases disclose that information. "Personal information" for purposes of this Policy means information that identifies you, such as your name or e-mail address. This Policy is subject to the provisions our Terms of Use, which are incorporated by reference.
Your BuzzAlert service works in conjunction with a user account on BuzzAlert.app (a "User Account"). When you sign up for a BuzzAlert User Account from our mobile applications or our Site, you are required to provide an e-mail address (which will be used as your login ID) and to create an account password (collectively the "Registration Information").
During the course of using your BuzzAlert Service, the BuzzAlert device client applications will routinely synchronize your notification data with BuzzAlert servers. These requests sent from your BuzzAlert device client application include information that identifies your current BuzzAlert application version, your device operating system version, your device hardware manufacturer and model number, and your BuzzAlert device client license status. No personally-identifiable information (such as a device-specific "UUID") is sent with these requests.
Aparlay uses your personal information to:
Aparlay ("we") collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, and information volunteered by the consumer (such as survey information and/or site registrations). The information we collect is exclusively used to improve the content of our Web pages and the quality of our service, and is not shared with or sold to any person, company, or organization (for the avoidance of doubt, this prohibition applies to any commercial and non-commercial purposes), except under the following circumstances:
It is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.
We transfer information about you if BuzzAlert or Aparlay Hong Kong is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Aparlay will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We share certain information with companies that may be considered our "sub-processors" under EU GDPR:
