How We Protect Your Data

The security and confidentiality of your information are very important to us, so we take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures) to help safeguard your information from unauthorized access and disclosure. Please know that, despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Products and some of our Service Providers utilize “cookies”, anonymous identifiers, and other tracking technologies that help us provide and improve our Products, personalize your experience and monitor the performance of our activities and campaigns, as well as the usage of our Products.

A “cookie” is a small text file that is used, for example, to collect data about activity on our Products. Some cookies and other technologies serve to recall Personal Data, such as an IP address, previously indicated by the user. For example, we may use cookies to store your language preferences or other settings so you do not have to set them up every time you use our Products. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your account (including personal information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other cookies are not.

While we do not change our practices in response to a “Do Not Track” signal in the HTTP header from a browser or mobile application, most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser. However, we cannot guarantee that our Products will fully operate should you choose to block cookies. For example, any preferences you may have defined on our Products will not be saved.

Age Limits

We appreciate the need to provide extra privacy protections to users who are children. Our Products are intended for general audiences over the age of 16 years. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 years of age. In order to request the deletion of Personal Data, for any reason, please use the in-app support feature in our Products or contact us at the address provided below and we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such Personal Data from our records.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you the right to request disclosure of information that we collect about you, to delete that information, and to opt-out of the sale of your personal information (if we sell such information). This section describes how to exercise those rights and our process of handling those requests. We reserve the right to ask for reasonable information to verify your identity before we process your request.

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information we collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your consumer request, we will delete your personal information from our records.

Should you wish any information about you deleted, submit your request via e-mail at  contact.takhion@takhionapps.com. 

Right to opt-out
