I INFORMATION AND DATA WE COLLECT

We collect information you provide directly via the Application, as well as certain technical information automatically.

A. INFORMATION YOU GIVE US

The Application provides two opportunities for you to provide us with personal information: (i) to obtain customer support; and (ii) to ask characters questions.

To obtain customer support, you may utilize the chat support function in the Application. To utilize this function, you will be required to provide us with your first name and an email address. We will then give you the ability to live chat with a customer service representative on the Application. After we have resolved your request for support, we will send you an email, notifying you that the support specialist has responded and instructing you to check the chat support function in the Application. We then immediately delete your email. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose other than to respond to your support request. The live support chat within the Application will also be moderated so that if you disclose any personal information during the chat, we will delete the record of that chat.

Within the Application, there are various characters with which you can interact. We allow you to ask characters questions, either by typing the question or by using the microphone on your mobile device to record you asking the question. The audio file containing your question is then converted into a text file. We utilize the text file to search for an answer to your question. A text file of the answer is then sent to the Application and is converted into an audio file. This allows the character to answer your question audibly. After your question has been answered, your audio file is immediately deleted, and it is not used for any other purpose.

You will notice that there are other opportunities for you to provide information within the Application. Specifically, you can provide your first name and birthday in the profile section. You can also take pictures and record videos, including pictures and videos that contain your image and/or voice. However, this information is stored solely on your mobile device, and it is not shared with us or any third parties. In addition, you can make purchases within the Application; however, those purchases are processed by third-party application stores (e.g., the Google Play Store) and subject to their privacy policies. We do not collect any personal information from you in connection with these transactions.

B. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY

We automatically collect technical data that you need to use the Application, as well as additional technical data that we need to maintain and analyze the functionality of the Application, and to personalize the content of the Application. This includes:

  • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address;
  • The time zone, and the start and end time of the session;
  • The user agent (UA) string, platform, and SDK version; and
  • Technical information about the device (for example, the model and name of the device, the name and version of the operating system, the name of the CPU, free disk space allocated for the application, the screen resolution, and application API-key).

С. WHAT USER EVENTS WE COLLECT [Russian Users Only]

For users of the Russian showcase in the Application, we have implemented the Appsflyer SDK, which tracks when you first start the showcase, in-app purchases made in the showcase, and your phone number for registration.

III WITH WHOM WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

It also includes Google, which provides a software solution to convert your speech to text after which your voice recording is immediately deleted, and in Russia, Appsflyer, which tracks events related to our Russian showcase;
  • When we believe it is necessary or appropriate to (i) comply with applicable law or legal process or to respond to lawful requests or legal authorities; (ii) protect the rights and property of Devar; and (iii) protect the safety of Devar, our users or any third party; and
  • In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, bankruptcy or reorganization, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

V HOW WE HANDLE CHILDREN’S INFORMATION

As stated above, the Application is intended for a younger audience, including users under the age of 13. We encourage parents and guardians to review this Privacy Policy with their children.

We are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), a U.S. law designed to protect users under the age of 13 online. Accordingly, outside of Russia, we do not collection personal information from children under 13 years old, except when permitted by COPPA. Specifically, we collect the following personal information from children under 13 years old, without providing direct notice to and obtaining consent from a parent or guardian:

  • Email addresses: We collect a child’s email address pursuant to the one-time contact exception in COPPA, which allows us to respond to a child’s support request. After we have responded to the child’s support request, we delete the child’s email address, and it is not used for any other purpose;
  • Audio files: We collect audio files containing a child’s voice pursuant to the speech-to-text exception to COPPA, which allows us to collect the audio file for the sole purpose of converting the child’s speech to text. After the conversion to text, the audio file is deleted; and
  • Persistent identifiers: We collect persistent identifiers for the purpose of supporting the internal operations of the Application, as permitted by COPPA.

We collect this information pursuant to our legitimate business interests, as permitted by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.

Moreover, we do not collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary to utilize the Application.

If you have any questions about our information collection and use practices; would like to review, correct or delete your child’s personal information; or would like us to discontinue the further collection or use of your child’s personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Us” heading below.
