Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for 33ter (aka “ThreeThreeter” or “EEter”)

Effective Date: August 1, 2024

This Privacy Policy describes how DesignerGenes (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and handles your information when you use our iOS application, 33ter (the “App”).

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account Information: When you create an account or use certain features, we may collect the username you provide. This username is often, but not necessarily, your email address. This information is used solely for identifying your account within the App.
  • Anonymized Usage Analytics: We collect anonymized data about how you interact with the App to help us improve its performance and user experience. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to personally identify you. This includes:
    • Number of screen views/loads.
    • Approximate number of monthly requests made from the App to our backend services.
    • The approximate duration users utilize the Standard (free) version before potentially upgrading to the Premium version.
    • The frequency with which the App is opened after initial installation.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To Provide and Maintain the App: Your username is used to manage your account and provide access to App features, including distinguishing between Standard and Premium users.
  • To Improve the App: Anonymized analytics data helps us understand usage patterns, identify popular features, diagnose technical issues, optimize performance, and make informed decisions about future development (e.g., understanding the conversion path from Standard to Premium).
  • To Monitor App Performance: Tracking backend requests helps us ensure our services can handle the load and operate efficiently.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We value your privacy and do not sell or rent your personal information (like your username/email) to third parties.

  • Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated, anonymized analytics data with third-party analytics services solely for the purpose of assisting us in analyzing App usage and performance. This data does not include personally identifiable information.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency), or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves, our users, or others.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your username/email information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Anonymized analytics data inherently carries less security risk as it is not personally identifiable.

5. Data Retention

  • Account Information: We retain your username for as long as your account remains active or as necessary to provide you with the App’s services.
  • Anonymized Analytics Data: We may retain anonymized usage data for longer periods as needed for ongoing analysis and App improvement.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App or on our website. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when they are posted. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
