Data sharing

Use of Third-Party Service Providers

In order to effectively deliver our services, Passive App engages various third-party service providers. These providers include, but are not limited to, data storage providers, performance analytics services (for error and crash reporting), and web and app usage analytics services (such as Google Analytics and Facebook Analytics). Each of these service providers is contractually obligated to handle your personal information with the utmost care and security. They are not permitted to access or use your personal information for any purposes beyond those required to perform the services we have contracted them for. Moreover, these providers are prohibited from sharing your information with any third parties unrelated to the provision of the agreed-upon services.

Sharing of Location and IP Information

We may share your location and IP address information with our clients to facilitate their access to and collection of publicly available data from internet sources (e.g., websites). This specific data sharing is essential to fulfilling the contractual obligations between you and Passive App and ensuring the proper functioning of our services.

Limited Sharing of Personal Information

Your personal information will not be shared or disclosed to any third parties beyond the scope described above, except in the following circumstances:

Legal Compliance: We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, such as in response to a court order, to enforce our agreements, or to protect the intellectual property, rights, or safety of our company, employees, and other stakeholders.
Representation: Disclosure may be necessary to allow our authorized representatives to act on our behalf.
Emergency Situations: We may disclose your personal information if it becomes necessary to address an urgent or emergency situation.

Data Transfers Outside of the European Economic Area (EEA)

While we strive to ensure that your personal data remains within the European Economic Area (EEA), there may be instances where data is transferred to partners or service providers outside the EEA. In such cases, we take all necessary steps to ensure that these entities comply with the data protection standards required by European privacy laws. Where applicable, we incorporate data protection clauses into our agreements with these third parties. If they operate in jurisdictions that the European Commission has deemed to have inadequate data protection laws, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including the use of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, to protect your personal data.

Data retention and storage

We will retain your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Once our contractual relationship or any other dealings with you have ended, we will not retain your personal data for more than five years, unless otherwise required by law.

Information regarding children

Passive App does not knowingly or intentionally collect personal data from children under the age of 14, or any age where parental consent is legally required for the collection or processing of personal data. In the event that we inadvertently receive personal information from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete or otherwise dispose of the data upon becoming aware of the situation.
