You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are providing us with Personal Information at your own free will, for the purposes described herein, and that we may retain such Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any applicable laws and regulations.

  1. Which information we may collect on our Users?

We may collect two types of data and information from our Users: (i) Non-personal Information, which is non-identifying and non-identifiable information, without particular reference to the identity of the User from which such information was collected; and (ii) Personal Information, which is individually identifiable information that identifies an individual, or may with reasonable effort identify an individual, either alone or in combination with other information, or may be of private or sensitive nature. For the avoidance of doubt, any Non-personal Information connected or linked to any Personal Information shall be deemed as Personal Information as long as such connection or linkage exists. Personal and Non-personal Information which is being gathered in connection with the App may consist of the following:

  • We may automatically collect and the User may automatically provide us with certain technical Non-personal Information and aggregated usage information, such as the User’s mobile device brand and model, operating system type and version, country code, which Third-Party Services’ applications are installed on the User’s device and User’s uses thereof through the App, the User’s manual configurations, ‘click-stream’, interactions and activities on the App, the period of time the User used the App and related time stamps, crash and error logs, etc.
  • When registering to the App, the User will be asked to provide his/her phone number, name, and photo, which will be used in order to allow us to provide our Users with the App’s services and experience. Such information may be provided to other Users via the Advanced Search Functionality and Matching Functionality, as a confirmed match to such relevant User’s contact information.
  • For the App to provide the Advanced Search Functionality and the Matching Functionality, as such terms are defined in the EULA, it may require certain access permissions to information stored on User’s device regarding the User’s contacts (“Contact Information”). Such information may also include Contact Information stored locally by the User relating to certain third-party applications installed on the device (e.g., Skype, WhatsApp, Viber etc.), as well as such contacts social networks IDs.

  • In addition, for the provision of the Advanced Search Functionality and Matching Functionality, the App may gather public information available online (including via social networks) regarding the Users and User contacts. For the avoidance of doubt, any information related to a User’s contacts (whom are not Users themselves) which is provided to a User via the Advanced Search Functionality and Matching Functionality is provided merely as a suggested match and is not intended to be used as or relied upon by a User as a confirmed match to such relevant User’s contact.
  • The App may also require for its proper functioning that the User chooses to grant us with certain access permissions to his/her existing Facebook account (“FB Account”), and thereby provide us with certain information about the User, such as the User’s photo, date of birth and list of friends, as made available by the User through his/her FB Account.
  • Before using Eyecon’s call recording feature, it is your responsibility to inform all participants of such recorded calls of your intended use of the call recording and to obtain all consents and approvals for the recording of the call, as necessary or advisable under applicable law in your state and country, that all consents and approvals for the recording have been obtained, and use of the recording feature
    does not breach or infringe on the rights of any third party, including privacy rights.. Please note that recordings will only be stored on your device (or any third party backup service which you choose to use) and not on Eyecon’s servers. Eyecon expressly disclaims any and all liabilities related to or arising from your use of Eyecon’s call recording feature and/or arising out of or related to your violation of any laws or regulations applicable to call recordings.
  • You may also provide us certain information through your interactions with the Advanced Search Functionality and Matching Functionality. For example, you may match your Contact Information with
    certain information suggested to you by the App. The App records such matches in order to allow us to provide our Users with the App’s services and experience.
  • Further, for the purpose of securing the App and user authentication access, the App may also collect a User’s Device ID.
  • In order to be able to provide and display messages (SMS) within Eyecon and to block unwanted and SPAM SMSes, Eyecon needs the user to grant SMS permissions for this use.
