APP PRIVACY POLICY

This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on the Stages.Live app for iPhone, Android, and any other devices and platforms.

HISTORY OF CHANGES

August 10, 2018: First published.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We get a secure, globally unique representation of the currently logged-in iCloud account used in the iOS app that does not reveal your email address or password. This is used to uniquely identify you between devices and only through the Stages.Live app.

If you enable push notifications, we need to store the token your device gives us to send them. We only ever use push notifications to initiate background refreshing and notify you of new articles that pertain to the categories you selected to be notified of. We never use push notifications for marketing.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY ANONYMOUS ANALYTICS

Stages.Live iOS app includes limited components of Firebase Analytics to provide crash reporting and basic analytics to help us improve the app. These are aggregate, anonymous statistics, such as the percentage of users who use particular features.

Stages.Live does not share any personal data with Firebase. Other data, such as articles being read or shared, may be shared anonymously for aggregate statistical analysis to further improve the app.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will store your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the performance of our obligations or to achieve the purposes for which the information was collected, or as may be permitted under applicable law.  To determine the appropriate retention period, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the data; the purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable legal requirements.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, at the end of the retention period we will remove personal data from our systems and records or take appropriate steps to properly anonymize it.

PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERS

If we transfer your personal data out of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to countries not deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of personal data protection, the transfer will be based on one of the following safeguards recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for personal data, where required by EU data protection legislation:

• Contracts approved by the European Commission which impose data protection obligations on the parties to the transfer. 
• The EU – U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (for transfers to third parties in the United States that have self-certified to the Framework).
