Privacy Policy
Thanks for using our services and software.
This Privacy Policy is used to inform users of our Service and visitors to our website regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information. If you choose to use our service, then you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy. We generally use the Personal Information that we collect for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your Personal Information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information we collect and use
We want you to understand the types of information we collect as you use our services.
We collect information to provide better services to all our users — from figuring out basic stuff like how to communicate with you, to more complex things like how to provide you with insight into your finances. The information we collect, and how that information is used, depends on how you use our services and how you manage your privacy controls.
When you’re not signed in to a Akula Inc Account, we store the information we collect with unique identifiers tied to the browser, application, or device you’re using. This helps us do things like maintain your preferences across sessions.
When you’re signed in, we also collect information that we store with your Akula Inc Account, which we treat as Personal Information. “Personal Information” means information that you provide to us which personally identifies you, such as your name, email address, or other data that can be reasonably linked to such information by Akula Inc, such as information we associate with your Akula Inc Account.
When you create a Akula Inc Account, you provide us with Personal Information that includes your name and email, password and phone number. We do not share this information with any third party. We only use your phone number for two-factor authentication which is required for our services.
We collect information about the apps, browsers, and devices you use to access our services, which in the future will help us provide features like automatic product updates.
The information we collect may include unique identifiers, browser type and settings, device type and settings, operating system, mobile network information including carrier name and phone number, and application version number. We may also collect information about the interaction of your apps, browsers, and devices with our services, including Internet Protocol ("IP") address, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time, and referrer URL of your request.
We collect this information when a Akula Inc Service on your device contacts our servers — for example, when our Service checks for automatic updates. This information includes things like your device type, software version, carrier name, crash reports, and which apps you’ve installed.
Third Party services
Our services connect to third party services that may collect information used to identify you.
Log Data
Whenever you use our services, in a case of an error in our software or app we collect data and information (through third party products) on your device called “Log Data.” This Log Data may include information such as your device address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the software or app when utilizing our services, the time and date of your use of the services, and other statistics.
Maintain and improve our services
We also use your information to ensure our services are working as intended, such as tracking outages or troubleshooting issues that you report to us. And we use your information to make improvements to our services — for example, understanding which search terms are most frequently misspelled helps us improve spell-check features.
Measure performance
We use data for analytics and measurement to understand how our services are used. For example, we analyze data about your visits to our sites to do things like optimize product design.
Communicate with you
We use information we collect, like your email address, to interact with you directly. For example, we may send you a notification if we detect suspicious activity, like an attempt to sign in to your Akula Account from an unusual location. Or we may let you know about upcoming changes or improvements to our services. And if you contact Akula Inc, we’ll keep a record of your request in order to help solve any issues you might be facing.
Protect Akula Inc, our users, and the public
We use information to help improve the safety and reliability of our services. This includes detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, abuse, security risks, and technical issues that could harm Akula Inc, our users, or the public.
Technologies we use
We use different technologies to process your information for these purposes. We use automated systems that analyze your content to provide you with things like customized search results or other features tailored to how you use our services. And we analyze your content to help us detect abuse such as spam, malware, and illegal content.
We may combine the information we collect among our services and across your devices for the purposes described above. For example, if you listen to certain types of podcasts, you may suggest similar podcasts. Depending on your account settings, your activity on other sites and apps may be associated with your Personal Information in order to improve Akula Inc’s services.
We’ll ask for your consent before using your Personal information for a purpose that isn’t covered in this Privacy Policy.
Cookies
“Cookies” are files with a small amount of data that is commonly used as an anonymous unique identifier. These are sent to your browser from the website that you visit and are stored on your device internal memory. Our Service does not use Cookies explicitly. However, the app may use third party code and libraries that use Cookies to collection information and to improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these Cookies and know when a Cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our Cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
Service Providers
We may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:
- To facilitate our Service;
- To provide the Service on our behalf;
- To perform Service-related services; or
- To assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.
These third parties may have access to your Personal Information in order to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use your Personal Information for any other purpose.
When Akula Inc shares your information
We do not share your Personal Information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Akula Inc except in the following cases:
- With your consent– we’ll share Personal Information outside of Akula Inc when we have your consent. We’ll ask for your explicit consent to share any sensitive Personal Information.
- For legal reasons– we will share Personal Information outside of Akula Inc if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to (a) meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Akula Inc, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law.
Akula Inc Merger or Acquisition
If Akula Inc is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we’ll continue to ensure the confidentiality of your Personal Information and give affected users notice before Personal Information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Security
We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, and we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Links to Other Sites
This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children’s Privacy
These services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us so that we will be able to take all necessary actions.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We always indicate the date the last changes were published and we offer access to archived versions for your review. If changes are significant, we’ll provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes).
