XI. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

We and third-party organizations that provide data processing technologies for the Services or our third-party advertising partners may transfer the processed information across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions worldwide.

If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data processing that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as in your jurisdiction. This means that your personal information can be transferred to a third country, a territory, or one or more specified sectors within that third country or to an international organization where data protection and confidentiality regulations may not provide the same level of personal data protection as your country does.

We try to ensure that the recipient of any personal data provides proper protection of the personal data received, in accordance with the current legislation on protecting such information. By agreeing with this Policy, you agree that we may transfer your personal data to any third country, a territory, or one or more specified sectors within that third country or to the international organization.

For users outside the EU/UK, local data privacy laws may apply. We strive to provide equivalent protection to all users, regardless of jurisdiction.

For the purposes of data processing, we recourse to the third-party services or the hosting organizations. We take your privacy seriously and, therefore, encrypt your personal data - if possible - before sending it to our service providers. Please note that we cooperate only with those service providers that have passed our security and reliability check. If applicable, we are party to data transfer agreements/data processing addendums or equivalent legal instruments with each of our service providers, and we will (i) keep each document up to date with current law and (ii) only engage in personally identifiable information transfers from safeguards area to outside safeguards area in accordance with such an agreement or an alternative means of transfer in compliance with data protection legislation. Where we transfer your Personal Data as described above, we will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data receive adequate security protection where it is processed, and your rights continue to be protected pursuant to the applicable data protection law, including through the use of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

XII. RETENTION

We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for performing the functional service of the App and to comply with our legal obligations. If you no longer want us to use your Personal Data that we physically access and store, you can either:

  • if you don't have a PULCA account, you can uninstall the App;

  • if you have a PULCA account, you can delete your data by deleting your account on the profile page or in account settings in the App; or

  • request that we erase your personal information and close your account.

Unless you demand us otherwise, if you have a PULCA account and don't delete it before uninstalling the App from your mobile device, we will retain your Personal Data for a period of 1 year in case you decide to re-activate the Services or re-install the App.

Even if you requested the erasure or deleted your account or the App, some data may still be stored for a certain time period (but no longer than the storage purpose requires) if the information is necessary to comply with legal obligations (taxation, accounting, audit), or in order to maintain safety and data backup settings, prevent fraud or other malicious acts, or keep your choices about privacy, for example, if you unsubscribed from our marketing communications.

XIII. SECURITY

The security of your personal information is highly important to us. Services we use to maintain the App follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Please note that our App is available for download via authorized App Store (Apple App Store) only; if you download a copy of our App via other sources, we cannot guarantee the availability, security and proper functioning of such a product. Your access to our Services via unauthorized means will be deemed improper and entails us to act correspondingly to cease unauthorized use.

All facial images and biometric data processed by Shen.AI remain on your device and are not transmitted or stored externally. Data is processed in anonymized form and secured using industry-standard encryption methods. No biometric images are retained after measurement.

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, which are designed to implement data-protection principles, such as data minimization, in an effective manner and to integrate the necessary safeguards into the processing. We seek your Personal Data to be encrypted with proper and strong encryption algorithms, including hashing where possible.

Please notice that by choosing and keeping your password carefully, not disclosing your password, and avoiding unauthorized access to your mobile device, you can help keep your information secure. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We do our best to protect your personal data, but we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event that your personal information is compromised as a breach of security, we will promptly notify you in compliance with applicable law. We will also take specific steps to address the breach as necessary in the given situation. These steps may include logging you out of all devices, resetting a password (sending you a temporary password to use), and carrying out other activities and actions that are deemed to be reasonably necessary.

If you suspect or become aware of any security incident within the Services, please let us know at support@denalidigital.co.

XIV. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

General limitation. The Services are not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect or solicit any personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will erase that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at support@denalidigital.co.

If you are under the age of digital consent in your country (typically 16 in the EU/UK), you must obtain parental consent before using video measurement features. We do not knowingly collect biometric data from children without appropriate consent.

Limitations for users from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. The use of the Services by residents of EEA or the UK younger than 16 years old is prohibited. If you know that a person under 16 is using the Services, please contact us at support@denalidigital.co and we will take measures to delete such information and/or delete the child's account.
