Effective date: October 1, 2018
This page informs you (the “end-user”) of the policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal data when you use the Direct Search app (the “Service” or “app”) and the choices you have associated with that data. By using the app you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
What Data App Collects and How it is Used
All data entered by the end-user in the composition of a new search category and new search URLs are kept in an on-device database when session state is saved. None of this information is disclosed or transferred to any third party. This means entered URLs are kept strictly on the device in the database.
Any entered URL can be permanently deleted by the end-user.
When the app is deleted, so is the app’s on-device database. A newly download version of the app starts off with an empty database.
The on-device database exists in the app’s Documents folder on the iOS device, which the end-user can delete. However, all saved state will be permanently lost, namely, entered URLs. See Apple’s documentation on how to access an app’s Documents folder.
No personal end-user data is collected. The app does not require the end-user to enter anything personal, such as login information.
No app usage data is collected. This includes selected URLs and entered search criteria required to perform a direct search.
The app does not use location services per se.
No end-user input or usage is recorded to improve the app.
Permissions
- The app does not access any protected resources like Photos and Contacts, so no access permission to these resources is required.
- The app does not rely on Notifications being turned on.
