Updated on 2023 / Aug / 02

The Privacy Policy applies to the following publicly available applications:

• Meteo Lietuva
• ASL Recognizer


The developer, Liudas Baronas (hereafter referred to as "we", "us" or "our"), prioritizes user privacy and aims to be clear and transparent about how user data is collected, used, and protected.


Data Collection and Use

We may collect non-personal, aggregated data regarding app usage and device information, including but not limited to device model, operating system where applicable. Certain applications may provide the option to disable automatic data collection, or this feature may be disabled by default. Specifics regarding data collection purposes can be obtained from the App Privacy section on the Apple's App Store application preview page for each our application.

The information we collect may be used for the following purposes:

Analytics: To analyze user behavior assess the efficacy of current product features, and strategize future feature releases. This aids in our understanding of our audience's size and characteristics, their interests.
Marketing and Advertising: For displaying both first-party and third-party advertisements to our users, and we may share data with entities that present these advertisements.
Personalization: To personalize and customize user experiences, tailoring the application's features, content, and suggestions according to individual usage patterns and preferences.
Application technical improvement: To authenticate users, implement security measures, maintain server uptime, prevent fraud and unauthorized usage, mitigate security risks, minimize application crashes, and enhance scalability and performance.

Third-Party advertising

We may collaborate with third-party advertising companies to serve ads within our applications, or share data with entities that display third-party ads. These companies may use tracking technologies to collect data about users who interact with their ads. Our policy does not cover the methods these third parties use to collect information, nor the use of the information they collect, and we are not responsible for cookies or other tracking technology used by third parties. Users should review the privacy policies of these third parties to understand their data collection and use practices. We, however, commit to providing users with information about data use wherever feasible.

Third-Party APIs

Our applications may use third-party APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to provide specific features or functionality. These APIs may allow third parties to collect your personal data. For instance, if we use a mapping API to provide location-based services, your location data may be shared with the third-party API provider. Similarly, if our applications use a social media API, such as the Facebook API for login or sharing functionality, your personal data may be shared with that social media platform.

It's important to understand that the data collected by these third parties via APIs is subject to their respective privacy policies and practices. We do not control how these third parties collect, use, or disclose your personal data. We recommend you review their privacy policies to understand their data handling practices. Please note that you may have the right to access, change, or delete the information these third-party APIs collect by visiting the settings of the respective third-party service.

While we carefully select our third-party partners, we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We strive to work with third-party providers that offer robust privacy protections for users, and we commit to inform you of any significant changes in our use of third-party APIs.

Internet Communications

Our applications that require internet communication utilize the secure HTTPS protocol for encrypted data transfer, thereby protecting user data from interception and unauthorized access.

Permissions

Our applications may request permissions, such as access to the camera, gallery, or location services, as they are crucial for providing comprehensive application functionality. These permissions are invoked strictly when necessary and are not used outside the operational scope of the application.

User Data

Users may be assigned a unique identifier and hold the right to access their data unless otherwise specified. For further details on specific data collection and tracking, users are advised to refer to the App Privacy section on the Apple's App Store application preview page for each our application.


Data Retention and Deletion

We retain user data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. Typically, we keep this data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Users have the right to request access to their personal data, as well as to seek to update, delete, or correct this data. If a user wishes to exercise these rights, they can contact us using the details provided in this policy. Please note that we may ask for verification of identity before responding to such requests. If we are unable to delete your data due to legal obligations or other reasons, we will inform you accordingly and keep you updated about when we anticipate deleting your data.

Third-Party Links

Our applications may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated or controlled by us. Please be aware that we hold no responsibility or liability for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit or any third-party services you use. The inclusion of any links does not imply a recommendation or endorsement of the views expressed within them. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party's site or service. These third-party sites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the linked content, including tracking your interaction with the linked content if you have an account and are logged in to that website or service.

Policy Regarding Children

Our applications are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or a higher age as provided in certain countries), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children without obtaining parental consent in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the relevant age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible.

We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with personal data without their consent, they should contact us using the details provided in this policy, and we will take steps to delete such information.

If you are a minor in your jurisdiction, please do not send any personal data about yourself to us. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal data from a minor, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a minor, please contact us.

Security measures

We place a high priority on the security of user data. To protect your personal data from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure, we implement a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards. These measures take into account the sensitivity of the information we collect, process, and store, and the current state of technology.

Please note that while we strive to protect your personal data, no security system is impervious to all attacks, and therefore, we cannot guarantee that your data will always be secure. In the event of a security breach, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Legal Compliance

We reserve the right to disclose personal data if we are required by law or believe such action is necessary to comply with legal processes such as a judicial proceeding, court order, or a legal process served on us.

Liability

Liudas Baronas shall not be liable for any claim, damages, or other liabilities, whether from an action of contract, tort, or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the software or the use or other dealings in the software.

This Privacy Policy may be amended without prior notice. Any changes will become effective when posted on our website or when users are notified via email or app notifications.
