reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of
financial abuse
●

to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or
the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes
related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws
of Canada or a province
●
If disclosure is
required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court

Vendors,
Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service
providers, contractors, or agents ('third
parties') who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access
to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third
parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This
means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we
have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal
information with any organisation apart from us. They also commit to protect

Google AdMob:
Purpose and Implementation
Purpose: Google AdMob is utilized
within the Floating Multi Timer app for the purpose of serving advertisements
to users. This integration allows for the display of targeted and non-targeted
ads, enabling us to generate revenue while providing the app for free or at a
reduced cost to the users.
How
It Works:
●
AdMob functions by displaying ads that are relevant to the
user's interests and behaviours, improving the overall user experience. It may
use a non-personal identifier based on the device's operating system to serve
ads.
●
The app requests ads
from AdMob's network, and these requests include
information like the device type and size of the ad. This process ensures that
the ads displayed are optimized for the user's device, enhancing usability and
engagement.
●
User interaction
with these ads (such as clicks) is tracked to assess ad performance and improve
future ad targeting.
●
please visit the Google
Privacy & Terms page to know more.
Firebase/Google Analytics: Purpose and
Implementation
Purpose: Firebase/Google Analytics is integrated into the
Floating Multi Timer app to collect data on app usage and user engagement. This
analytics tool helps us understand how users interact with the app, which
features are most popular, and areas where improvements can be made, ultimately
enhancing the user experience.
How
It Works:
●
Firebase/Google
Analytics collects anonymous data related to user behaviour within the app,
such as session duration, app feature usage, and interaction patterns. This
data is aggregated and analyzed to provide insights
into app performance and user preferences.
●
The tool uses
identifiers for mobile devices to help collect data on app usage patterns.
These identifiers do not include personal information such as names or email
addresses, ensuring user privacy.
●
Data collected
through Firebase/Google Analytics is used to make informed decisions about app
updates, feature development, and customization, enhancing user satisfaction
and app usability.
● please visit the Google
Privacy & Terms page to know more.
Data Privacy and User Consent
To
align with data protection regulations and ensure transparency with our users,
the Floating Multi Timer app includes a privacy policy that clearly outlines
the following:
●
The types of data
collected for advertising and analytics purposes.
●
How this data is
used to improve the app and user experience.
●
User rights
regarding data privacy and how to exercise them.
Users
have the option to opt-out of data collection for analytics and to limit ad
personalization through their device settings or within the app's settings,
where applicable.
By
informing users and obtaining their consent, we ensure compliance with global
privacy standards and respect for user preferences regarding data collection
and use.
We also may need to share your personal information in
the following situations:
●
Business Transfers.
We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during
negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition
of all or a portion of our business to another company.

any information that you share with third parties that we may link to or who
advertise on our Services, but are not affiliated with, our Services.
The Services may link to third-party websites, online
services, or mobile applications and/or contain advertisements from third
parties that are not affiliated with us and which may
link to other websites, services, or applications. Accordingly, we do not make
any guarantee regarding any such third parties, and we will not be liable for
any loss or damage caused by the use of such
third-party websites, services, or applications. The inclusion of a link

endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you
provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not
covered by this privacy notice. We are not responsible for the content or
privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including
other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the
Services. You should review the policies of such third parties and contact them
directly to respond to your questions.
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or
market to children under 13 years of age.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to
children under 13 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you
are at least 13 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and
consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that
personal information from users less than 13 years of age has been collected,
we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete
such data from our records. If you become aware of any data
we may have collected from children under the age of 13, please contact us at zbs.dev@zbs.dev.
In Short: In some regions, such as the European
Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have
rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal
information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and

may include the right (i) to request access and
obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or
erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if
applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated decision-making.

processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section 'HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?' below.

your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or
implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw
your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting
us by using the contact details provided in the section 'HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?' below.
However, please note that this will not affect the
lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law
allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in
reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy
rights, you may email us at zbs.dev@zbs.dev.
Mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT')
feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to
have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At
this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT
signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT signals
or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be
tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must
follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised
version of this privacy notice.
In Short: If you are a resident of California or
Virginia, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal
information.
