1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

We collect Personal Information from you when you use or interact with our Services. We collect Personal Information from you and from any of the devices (including, mobile devices) you use when you install or have the App installed on your device, browse our Site, use or access our Services, provide us with information on a web form, or through any correspondence we conduct with each other.

More specifically we collect and use the following categories and types of information:

a. Personal information that we collect when you download the App, create an account, log in and make use of the App

In order to use certain features of the App, you will be able to register and log-in with your Google account. In addition, you may also choose to use certain features that may be offered to you via the App and allow the collection and use of Personal Information, as detailed below:

i. When you make use of the App

Data collected and for which purposes: We collect your full name, phone number and email address, payment information, log-in details (e.g primary account, internal account), information stored on your device phonebook directory, call logs, and SMS messages (e.g. phone number, email address and name of your contacts), your approximate geolocation (via Wi-Fi or cellular technology in your device, including, country), internet protocol (IP) address and other unique device identifiers and descriptions, and any other information that you will decide to provide/supply us with, to be able to: (i) provide you with the Services, (ii) contact the Users of the App for the purpose of providing them with technical assistance, support, handle requests and complaints and collect feedback in connection with performance of the Services, (iii) provide you with and to operate the Service, including for statistical and research purposes and creation of aggregated anonymous data, (iv) personalize the Service and content provided to you, (v) customize your experience with the Services, to suggest recommendations based on your preferences and to enable you to retrieve your Personal Information, (vi) develop, improve and customize the Service, the experience of other Users and the offering available through the Service, and (vii) customize and improve our Service's accuracy and interface.

Legal basis (GDPR only, if applicable): Depending on the context, processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract, consent and/or legitimate interest (e.g. to allow you to create an account).

Retention period: Your Personal Information will be stored until we no longer need the information and proactively delete it or you send a valid deletion request. Please note that we will retain it for a longer or shorter period in accordance with data retention laws, as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to prevent fraud and abuse, and/or to enforce our agreements. Where we no longer need to process your Personal Information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, or following your request to delete your Personal Information, we will delete your Personal Information from our systems.

ii. The Caller Identification Functionality

Data collected and for which purposes: If made available by Drupe in your territory and by your operating system, you can choose to share with us the names, numbers and e-mail addresses contained in your device's address book, call logs, and SMS messages ("Contact Information"), for the purpose of providing the Caller Identification Functionality. Please note that we do not collect, save, nor display any information about the identity of the sources or network connection relating to your contacts (i.e., this means that once you provided your Contact Information to Drupe, we will not save the fact that any of these contacts have been originally provided by you). The Caller Identification Functionality, which includes, associating a name with a phone number through the name tagging functionality, allows a User who receives a call from a phone number, which is not associated with a name in the App database, to indicate a name to be associated with that number. Drupe uses algorithmic methodologies to improve the reliability of the Caller ID feature, taking into account the number of sources, to support caller identification

Please note that at any time during your use of the App you may change your mind and decide whether or not you want to share the Contact Information. As part of this feature, Users can also help us improve our Caller Identification Functionality by suggesting more accurate names for a given number, or mark it as spam, and by doing so helping other Users. If you would like to remove your Personal Information from the App, you may do so by visiting this link: https://getdrupe.com/unsubscribe

Legal basis (GDPR only, if applicable): To the maximum extent permitted by law, if as part of your Contact Information (or otherwise) you provide us with Personal Information about someone else, you confirm that they are aware that you have provided their Personal Information and that they consent (and continue to consent as long as you share with us the Contact Information and use the Caller Identification Functionality) to our collection, processing and use of their data for the purpose of providing the Caller Identification Functionality and according to this Privacy Notice. Depending on the context, processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract, consent and/or legitimate interest (e.g. to allow you to use the caller identification functionality).

Retention period: Your Personal Information will be stored until we no longer need the information and proactively delete it or you send a valid deletion request. Please note that we will retain it for a longer or shorter period in accordance with data retention laws, as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to prevent fraud and abuse, and/or to enforce our agreements.
