For each App, you must create a separate copy of the Plugin Privacy Policy and modify that copy, by fully, accurately, truthfully and adequately completing the necessary text or URL per the instructions in each Field, thereby creating a “Filled-­‐out Plugin Privacy Policy” for each App. You may not modify or amend the Plugin Privacy Policy or the Filled-­‐out Plugin Privacy Policy, except as expressly permitted above.

Choice

You may opt-out of having your personal information collected (including your geo-locations) by deactivating KitLocate, as detailed in the App’s privacy policy [Developer: provide link to the precise segment of your privacy policy where geo-location de-activation is explained]. If you do so, you will not be able to benefit from optimized battery consumption using geo-location services, until you reactivate KitLocate. We do not otherwise respond to signals or mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about their online activities over time and across third-party services.

Be advised that deleting or uninstalling the App from your device will not cause your previously collected personal information, to be deleted from our systems.

The App’s developer or distributor may use KitLocate to send you push notifications, which may include announcements or advertisements. We do not initiate these notifications and are not responsible for their content. Please refer to the App’s privacy policy [Developer: provide link to the precise segment of your privacy policy where opting out of push notifications is explained] for information about opting out of such notifications.

 

Data anonymization

From time to time, we may anonymize (de-identify) personal information we have collected (including geo-location information), so that it can neither personally identify you nor be associated with your device.

Transfer of data outside your territory

KitLocate, by its nature as an online service, may store and process information in various locations throughout the globe.

Substantial changes will take effect thirty (30) days after an initial notification is posted through the App. Other changes will take effect seven (7) days after their initial posting.
