Privacy Policy

September 19, 2018

Batapp, Privacy Policy: Be Anonymous Technologies, Inc. (“Batapp”) considers your privacy paramount, and we take great care in keeping the information of our users private and secure. This Privacy Policy describes our policies and procedures regarding the information that we collect when you use our services, software and website (the “Services”), as well as how we use, disclose, protect and share your information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third party services that are not under Batapp’s control; those parties’ services are governed by their own privacy policies.

We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully as it will help you to make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.

Please keep in mind when reading this Privacy Policy that the Batapp Services does not store content. Your files and data are always in your control. Batapp provides a security service that will encrypt and protect content, but we do not store the content itself. This Privacy Policy outlines how we protect metadata about your content and your interactions with Bappapp’s services.

 

Types of Personal Information Collected

We may collect personal information from users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when you visit our website, place an order, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available through the Services.

(a) Information collected through our software and services

 

Be Anonymous Technologies develops and operates cutting-edge data security solutions that aim to give users complete control of their digital information.

If you request information about our software or services, we’ll collect information that identifies you so that we can respond to your request. Likewise, in the course of subscribing to our software and services, we’ll collect personal information so that we can fulfill your subscription and provide you with any related service support. This means you may need to upload certain information about yourself – for example, items from registrations and transactions (such as your name, phone number or e-mail address) and financial/transaction information (such as credit card, card verification value (cvv), and payment information). We will also keep copies of any communications you have with us.

Also, in the course of using our software and services, our subscribers may set certain policies and rules about how others can access and use their files. In such cases, Batapp may need to process certain information on behalf of our subscribers about your use of those files and other data for the purpose of delivering the Batapp software and services – for example, email addresses, passwords, filenames, and audit trail information of file access including date/timestamps, the user that accesses a file or message, IP addresses of the user, message forwarding activity, and changes to the file security profile. However, Batapp never stores the content of the files themselves – we only store information about the policies surrounding what users can do with those files.

When such information is collected, we are acting on behalf of customers who have subscribed to our software and services and it is the customer, not Bataoo, that sets the policies surrounding how other users can access and use their content. If you do not want this information about your use of files to be collected, please contact the customer directly.

(b) Information collected through our website and other means

We may also collect information about you when you visit our website (such as electronic communications protocols, IP addresses, web pages visited on our website, and your user preferences), or when you correspond with us by post, email or telephone.

We also collect device specific information, such as hardware model, operating system version, advertising identifiers, unique device identifiers, browser type and language preferences.

Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics and targeted advertising purposes. You can find out more about this in the ‘Cookies’ section below.
