Software Development Kits (SDKs). SDKs are third-party software development kits that may be installed in our mobile application. SDKs help us understand how you interact with our App and collect certain information about the device and network you use to access the application. Our App is never used to present you with third-party advertising. You can browse with full confidence in the protection of your privacy. Access is requested with the purpose of enabling the use of our services and improving their functioning. Certain SDKs, where legally required, are subject to a prior consent request and the possibility of withdrawing this consent. Zing Coach services may still be used even in the event of refusal or withdrawal of consent.
- AppsFlyer SDK: Facilitates measurement of performance and analysis of customer acquisition campaigns. Further information about AppsFlyer SDK is available at https://www.appsflyer.com/product/security-and-privacy/.
You can deactivate this data processing at any time via https://www.appsflyer.com/optout. In order to do so, you must have the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) of your mobile device. You can also withdraw your consent for the collection of data for targeted advertising or sharing their data with third-party advertisers through your device’s settings.
Advertising ID. You can tailor your device settings to control your advertising ID:
- On Apple devices, you can enable the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting in your device settings.
- On Android devices, you can enable the “Opt out of Ads Personalization” in your device settings.
Interest-based Advertising. We may partner with ad networks and other ad-serving providers that serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated platforms. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information ad networks and ad serving providers collect about your use of the App over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.
Your Choices. Most browsers and devices are configured to accept cookies and similar tracking technologies automatically. You may be able to set your browser and device options so as to limit such technologies. You can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Webchoices tool at www.aboutads.info to learn more about this interest-based advertising and how to opt out of this kind of advertising by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s mobile app opt-out program. You can also opt out of receiving interest-based ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) by visiting the NAI consumer opt-out page at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/. Opting out of receiving interest-based ads does not mean that you will no longer receive ads from us, but rather that the ads will not be tailored to your perceived interests. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
For users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and United States. You can manage the collection and processing of Personal Data via cookies, SDKs, and other tracking technologies by contacting us at support@zing.coach.
You may find that some parts of the App may not function properly if you have refused cookies or similar tracking technologies, and you should be aware that disabling cookies or similar tracking technologies may prevent you from accessing some of our content. Your choices are typically device and browser-specific.
11. Your Choices About Our Communications
If you are using our Services, you may receive electronic communications from us (e.g., by posting in-app notices, via push notifications or emails). We send some of these communications to you, such as those related to your subscriptions, technical and security notices, and updates to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, where necessary to perform our contract with you to provide the App or otherwise based on our legitimate interest in contacting you.
If required by law, we will ask for your consent to send you promotional and marketing emails, in-app communications, and push notifications about new products, features, or offers related to our Services.
Marketing & Promotional Emails. If you wish to stop receiving our promotional and marketing emails, you can do so by following the “Unsubscribe” links in any marketing email sent to you.
Push Notifications. If you wish to stop receiving push notifications, you can do so through your mobile device settings by tapping “Settings” -> “Notifications” -> Choose Zing Coach -> press the toggle to allow or forbid push notifications from the App.
12. Changes to Our Privacy Policy
The date this privacy policy was last reviewed is indicated at the top of the page. We may modify or update this privacy policy from time to time. Some changes do not require your consent: for example, when we add a new purpose of processing that is compatible with the existing purposes, or the new processing activity that falls under the users’ reasonable expectation. However, if the changes made may pose risk to your rights and freedoms (for example, by including a new purpose of the processing that is not compatible with the existing purposes of processing, a new legal basis, or a new category of personal data to be collected or a new data subject, all of which are not reasonably expected by the users), we will ask for your consent to those changes separately from this privacy policy. If you did not receive a request for your consent to the changes or refused to give consent, those changes will not apply to you. That fact can negatively affect some of our Services provided to you if those Services inevitably include consent to the changes.
