Use of Your Personal Data
The Company may use your Personal Data for the following purposes:
-
To Provide and Maintain our Service: We use data to deliver the core functionalities of
the app and ensure it works correctly. This includes using data to personalise your experience and to
monitor usage (for example, to ensure notifications are being delivered properly and the app is functioning
as intended).
-
To Manage Your Account: We use your information to create and maintain your account,
including any profile you set up, and to authenticate you when you log in. This lets you access personalized
features and your saved
preferences as a registered user.
-
For the Performance of a Contract: When you make a purchase (such as subscribing to
premium features), we use your personal data to fulfill that transaction and provide the paid services. This
includes processing payments (via our payment partners) and managing subscription status. It also includes
any other contracts you enter with us through the Service (e.g., participating in a promotion or contest, if
applicable).
-
To Contact You: We may use your contact information to communicate with you about
important updates or notices related to the Service. This can include sending you emails. For example, we might send you updates about new features, respond to a
support request, or alert you to security or technical issues. We may also send push notifications with
motivational quotes or content if you have enabled this feature. (You can control or disable push
notifications in your device or app settings, but note that the app’s core purpose is delivering these
inspirational notifications.)
-
To Provide News and Offers: With your consent (where required), we may send you
newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, or information about products and services that we offer.
These communications will be about offerings similar to the I Can App’s services or related content (for
example, new features, special promotions, or relevant events). You can opt out of marketing communications
at any time (each email will have an “unsubscribe” link, and you can also contact us to be removed from our
marketing list).
-
To Manage Your Requests:
If you contact us with inquiries, requests, or feedback (for
example, customer support questions or feature requests), we will use your information to respond to and
resolve your requests.
-
For Business Transfers: We may use your data as part of evaluating or executing a merger,
acquisition, restructuring, or other business transaction. If we are involved in a merger or sale of assets,
your Personal Data might be transferred to the new owner so that the Service can continue to operate. If
that happens, we will ensure your data remains subject to protections at least as strict as those in this
policy.
-
For Other Purposes (Improvement and Analysis): We use data for internal analysis to
improve our products and services. For instance, we analyse usage trends and user preferences to make the
app’s content more effective, to fix bugs, and to inform our development of new features. This includes
determining the effectiveness of our notifications or marketing campaigns and tailoring the user experience
to better suit our audience. Any additional purpose for using your data will be explained to you (and if
required by law, we will obtain your consent) before such use.
Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
(This section is particularly relevant to users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and
other jurisdictions with similar laws.)
We only collect and process your Personal Data when we have a legal basis to do so under applicable law. The
legal bases on which we rely include:
-
Consent: In certain cases, we ask for your consent to process your data. For example, we
will seek consent before sending you marketing emails, accessing sensitive device information (like your
contacts or precise location), or using tracking technologies for personalized advertising on iOS (per
Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework). Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at
any time.
-
Performance of a Contract: We process personal data as needed to fulfill our contract
with you — namely, to provide the I Can App services you have requested. When you create an account,
subscribe to premium features, we must use your data to provide those services
(e.g., delivering content, processing payments, and managing your subscription). If you elect not to provide
certain necessary data, we may not be able to deliver the requested service.
-
Legal Obligation: Some data processing is required for us to comply with our legal and
regulatory obligations. For example, we retain transaction records to meet tax and accounting laws, and we
may need to disclose information if compelled by law enforcement or court orders.
-
Legitimate Interests: We may process your data for purposes that are in our legitimate
interests as a business, provided those are not overridden by your data protection rights. Our legitimate
interests include improving and securing our Service, understanding how the app is used, communicating with
users to promote engagement, and showing relevant (non-intrusive) advertising. When we rely on legitimate
interests, we carefully consider and balance any potential impact on your rights. For instance, we use
analytics to improve user experience (a legitimate interest) in a way that does not infringe on your privacy
rights (we use aggregated data and provide opt-outs where feasible).
If you have questions about the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please
contact us (see the Contact Us section at the end of this policy).
Sharing Your Personal Information
We may share your personal information in the following situations and with the following parties, but
only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:
-
With Service Providers: We share data with third-party companies and individuals that
help us operate the Service or perform functions on our behalf. For example, service providers may assist us
with analytics, email messaging, customer support, cloud storage, payment processing, or delivering
notifications. These providers only receive the information necessary to carry out their specific services,
and they are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for our purposes and under our
instructions.
-
With Affiliates: If we are part of a corporate group in the future, we may share your
information with our affiliates (such as a parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies
under common control). If we do so, we will ensure that any Affiliate who receives your information will
abide by this Privacy Policy.
-
With Business Partners: We might share certain information with partners with whom we
co-offer a product or service, or with whom we run promotions. For instance, if in the future we collaborate
on a wellness challenge or offer a co-branded feature, we might share relevant info with that partner (with
your consent if required). These partners will be obligated to use your data only for the specified purposes
and to protect it.
-
For Business Transfers: As noted, if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing
due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, or sale of company assets, your data may be
transferred to a successor or affiliate as part of that transaction. We will provide notice if your Personal
Data becomes subject to a different privacy policy as a result of a business transfer.
-
With Your Consent: Apart from the cases above, we will explicitly ask for your consent
before sharing your personal information with third parties for purposes not covered by this Privacy Policy.
You have the right to decline such requests or, if you change your mind, to withdraw consent later on.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We
may share certain information with third parties (like advertising or analytics partners) in ways that are
intended to provide and improve the Service (see below), but this is done in compliance with applicable
privacy laws and, where required, with your consent or ability to opt-out.
Subscriptions
The I Can App offers an optional Premium Subscription providing
access to exclusive features, including:
-
Full Daily Push Notification Quotes – View the entire quote directly in notifications
without opening the app.
- Ad-Free Experience – Enjoy uninterrupted use of the app without advertisements.
- Auto-Renewal for Convenience – Stay subscribed without interruptions.
-
Subscription Management – Restore, manage, or cancel subscriptions anytime via Apple or
Google account settings.
-
3-Day Free Trial – Start with a free 3-day trial and experience all Premium features
before committing. You will not be charged during the trial period. If you don’t cancel the subscription
before the trial ends, you will be charged for the next billing cycle.
Privacy Policy Regarding the Free Trial
-
Trial Activation: Upon activating the free trial, your subscription will automatically
begin once the trial period ends unless cancelled.
-
Data Usage During Trial: During the free trial, we will collect data as part of your use
of Premium features. This data is handled according to our Privacy Policy . If you choose not to
continue the subscription, your data will be deleted as per our data retention policy , unless
required by law.
Subscription Billing: Premium subscriptions are billed on a monthly recurring basis. This
means that once you subscribe, your chosen payment method will be charged each month automatically on a
recurring cycle. Auto-Renewal is in effect for subscriptions by default to ensure uninterrupted service. Your
subscription will renew each month on its renewal date unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end
of the current billing period.
Managing or Cancelling Your Subscription: You have full control over your subscription and
can manage or cancel it at any time. Subscription management is done through your app store platform:
-
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store (iOS) , you can cancel or modify the subscription by
going to your device’s Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions (for iOS 15 and later, or the
equivalent path on your device) or by opening the App Store and viewing your Apple ID account subscriptions.
-
If you subscribed via the Google Play Store (Android), you can cancel or modify via the
Google Play
Store app > Menu > Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions.
Upon cancellation, you will continue to have access to premium features until the end of the current paid
period. The subscription will not renew for the next period, and you will not be charged further. Downgrading
from Premium to the free tier means ads may resume and daily notifications may be limited as per the free
usage policy.
Refunds and Disputed Charges: All subscriptions for the I Can App are
processed through Apple or Google’s in-app subscription systems (depending on your device). This means billing,
receipts, and refund policies are governed by Apple or Google, respectively.
-
If you believe you were charged incorrectly or if you experienced unauthorised charge, you should follow
the refund request process of the platform you used. For Apple, you can request a refund via Apple’s support
or reportaproblem.apple.com; for Google Play, you can use the refund request form or their support channels.
-
We do not process refunds directly because we do not have access to your payment information or
the ability to issue refunds through the App Stores. The App Store or Play Store has to process the refund.
-
If you have trouble securing a refund through Apple or Google, you can contact our support at I-Can-App@outlook.com. We will do our best to assist you (for example, by providing
information needed by Apple/Google support), but the final decision on refunds is made by the platform
provider according to
their policies.
-
Any promotional free trials (if offered) will clearly state their duration and the date on which you would
be charged if you do not cancel before the trial ends. We encourage you to keep track of trial period dates
to avoid unintended charges.
Payment Information: We want to reiterate that the I Can App itself does not receive or
store your full payment card details when you subscribe. Payments are handled securely by Apple or Google’s
systems (and/or by any payment processor they use for Google in-app billing). These
third-party payment processors are PCI DSS compliant, meaning they follow strict industry standards for
protecting payment data. Please refer to Apple’s or Google’s payment and privacy terms for more information on
how your financial data is handled by those companies. (See also Payment Processing in the Third-Party section
below for more details.)
Use of AI and Personalisation
(This section describes how the app uses artificial intelligence to personalise content, and how that
affects your data.)
-
AI-Generated Content: The I Can App uses advanced artificial intelligence technology to
generate some of its inspirational and motivational quotes or other content. This helps create engaging and
personalized material tailored to your interests and needs. For example, an AI system may combine different
motivational messages or adapt quotes to better fit topics you care about.
-
Data Collection for Personalisation: To tailor the content to you, the app may use
certain data you provide and interactions you make within the app. This can include the categories of quotes
you subscribe to, your marked favourites, or general usage patterns (e.g., which notifications you open or
which types of quotes resonate with you). Important: We use this data solely to enhance your personal
experience in the app – e.g., to decide which quote to send you next – and for no other purpose. It is not
sold or shared for marketing; it’s internally used to make sure you get relevant and uplifting content.
-
Personalized User Experience: Based on the above data, the app’s AI may select or
generate quotes that align with your preferences. For instance, if you often engage with quotes about
“perseverance” or “fitness,” the app will aim to show you more of those. The goal is to ensure each
notification or piece of content feels meaningful and relevant to you, thereby maximizing its positive
impact.
-
Accuracy and Authenticity of AI Content: We strive to ensure the AI-generated quotes are
accurate and valuable. However, please note that AI-generated content might occasionally have imperfections.
For example, an AI-generated quote might be inspired by known sources or personalities, but it might not be
an exact verbatim quote. We advise users to treat the AI content as sources of inspiration rather than exact
quotations of real individuals, since there’s a small chance of misattribution or context loss by the AI. We
appreciate your understanding of this aspect of the Service.
-
User Control: You remain in control of your experience. If you ever feel that the
personalized content is not for you, you have the option to adjust your preferences. For example, you can
change your chosen categories of interest in the app settings to influence the type of content you receive.
If you wish to opt-out of AI-personalized content entirely, the primary way would be to discontinue use of
the app (since the personalized content is a core feature of our Service). We do not currently offer a
non-personalized version of the daily content, but you can limit personalisation by restricting what data
you provide (for instance, not selecting specific topics, or disabling notifications altogether – though
that will significantly limit the app’s functionality).
-
Feedback and Reporting: We welcome feedback! If you come across a quote or any content
generated by the app’s AI that you find inappropriate, incorrect, or not useful, please let us know. There
may be an in-app feedback option, or you can always contact us at our support email. User feedback helps us
improve the AI algorithms and the quality of content over time.
-
Changes to AI Usage: As technology and our features evolve, we may update how we use AI
in the app. We will update this Privacy Policy (and notify you, as described in the
Changes to This
Privacy Policy
section) if any significant changes are made to how AI affects your personal data or
experience. Continued use of the app after such updates will constitute your acceptance of the changes, but
we will always give you a clear notice so you can make an informed decision.
By using the “I Can” application, you acknowledge and agree to the above terms regarding the use of AI and
personalisation features in the app.
Retention of Your Personal Data
We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in
this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. The length of time we keep information depends on the type of
information and the purposes for which we collected it. We follow standard retention practices for different
categories of data:
-
Account and Profile Data: We keep your account information (such as your name, email,
account credentials, and profile details) for as long as you maintain an active account with us. If
you choose to delete your account or request that we delete your personal information, we will do so,
following the process described in Delete Your Personal Data below. (In some cases, we may retain
certain limited information even after account deletion, if required for legal compliance or legitimate
business purposes, as explained further below.)
-
Payment and Transaction Data: Records of your purchases, subscriptions, and transactions
are retained as long as necessary for financial record-keeping and compliance. This typically means
we will retain this data for the duration required by tax laws, audit requirements, and applicable financial
regulations. For example, we may retain invoicing or transaction history for a number of years as mandated
by law (e.g., many jurisdictions require keeping records for
7 years for tax auditing). After the necessary retention period, we will securely delete or anonymise
payment and transaction data.
-
Usage and Analytics Data: Usage data (logs, analytics metrics, and similar data) is
retained for internal analysis and service improvement purposes. We generally keep raw usage data
for a shorter period of time – just long enough to analyse trends and improve the app’s performance.
Wherever feasible, we anonymise or aggregate this data after a set period (for instance, we might only keep
detailed analytics logs for 12-24 months and retain only aggregated statistics beyond that). We may retain
certain usage data longer if needed for security (e.g., investigating fraud or abuse) or if we are legally
obligated to retain it.
-
Marketing and Communications Data: If you have given consent to receive marketing emails
or newsletters, we will retain the information about your marketing preferences (and your contact details
for marketing) until you opt-out or unsubscribe from those communications. Once you opt out, we
will stop sending you marketing messages and will keep your contact information
only as needed to honour
your opt-out
(for example, we maintain a suppression list of email addresses of individuals who have
unsubscribed, to ensure we don’t accidentally send you further emails). Similarly, if you’ve agreed to
receive push notifications and later disable them, we will note that preference. We retain records of
communications (like support emails you send us) as long as needed to manage our relationship with you and
as required for our internal reporting and legal obligations.
In all cases, even if you request deletion of your data, we may retain certain minimal information
if
required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
For example, we
might keep data to comply with a court order, tax law, or to resolve a dispute regarding a transaction. When
we no longer have any legitimate need to retain your personal data, we will delete it or anonymise it so that
it can no longer be associated with you.
Transfer of Your Personal Data
Your information, including Personal Data, may be processed at the Company’s operating offices and at servers
and facilities located in other countries. In other words, the information we collect from you
may be
transferred to – and stored on – computers or servers outside of your state, province, or country
(including outside of the European Economic Area or Australia). These other jurisdictions might have data
protection laws that are different from those in your home jurisdiction.
However, we take steps to ensure your privacy remains protected:
-
When we transfer personal data internationally, we do so in accordance with applicable privacy laws. For
example, if we transfer data from the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK to another country, we will ensure
there are appropriate safeguards in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European
Commission, or transferring to organizations under an adequacy decision) to protect that data.
-
We have measures in place to ensure any recipient of the data provides a level of protection equivalent to
that provided under local law. We will not transfer your Personal Data to an organization or a country
unless we are
satisfied that adequate controls are in place,
including the security of your data and other personal
information
.
Your use of the Service, or your submission of information to us, represents your consent to this
transfer, storage, and processing of your information in countries outside your own. We understand that
cross-border data transfers can carry additional risks, and we are committed to handling all personal data
with the utmost care, no matter where it is processed.
Delete Your Personal Data
You have the right to request deletion of the personal data we have collected about you, and we are
committed to honouring such requests in accordance with applicable laws.
-
In-App Deletion: The I Can App may provide a feature (for example, in an account settings
or privacy settings menu) that allows you to delete certain information directly. This could include the
ability to delete your profile or specific data points you’ve provided. We will clarify in the app what data
can be self-deleted and what the consequences are (for instance, deleting your account will typically remove
your profile and data permanently from our active systems).
-
By Request: For any data you cannot delete yourself via the app, you may contact us to
request deletion. The easiest way is to send us an email at
I-Can-app@outlook.com with your
request. For example, you can request that we delete your account entirely and erase all personal data
associated with it. We may need to verify your identity (to ensure that the person requesting deletion is
actually the account owner) before processing the request. Once verified, we will work to promptly delete
your data from our systems and will confirm with you when it’s done.
-
Partial Deletion: If you want to delete only some personal data (such as changing your
mind about sharing a piece of info in your profile), you can usually update or remove that information via
your account settings. You also have the right to ask us to correct or update any inaccurate personal data
(see Your Rights below for more details on corrections and access).
-
Data That Cannot be Immediately Deleted: Please note that there are situations where we
may not be able to fully comply with a deletion request—for example, if we are required to keep certain data
for legal reasons or if it’s technically infeasible to remove it from backup systems immediately. If we must
retain any data for legal compliance, we will isolate it from active use and ensure it’s only used for that
legal purpose. Also, some data may remain in our archives or backups for a short period until those are
cycled out (we have processes to eventually purge deleted data from backups, though not instantaneously).
-
Effect on Service: If you request deletion of essential data (like information needed to
maintain your account), you may lose access to the Service or certain features. For instance, if you delete
your account or required credentials, you will not be able to log in or receive notifications anymore.
We will respond to your deletion request within the timeframe required by law (for example, under GDPR we
generally have one month to respond, under CCPA we aim to confirm receipt within 10 business days and fulfill
within 45 days).
Disclosure of Your Personal Data
We may disclose your personal data under certain circumstances as outlined below. Whenever we disclose data,
we do so only as permitted by law and with appropriate safeguards.
Business Transactions: If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, investment, or
asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred to another company as part of that deal. In such cases, we
will ensure that the new owner is contractually obligated to respect the terms of this Privacy Policy (or you
will be provided with an updated privacy policy if the purposes for which your data will be used change). We
will notify you (for example, via email or a prominent notice in the app) before your personal data is
transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Law Enforcement and Legal Requirements: Under certain circumstances, we may be required to
disclose your Personal Data if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities. This
means that if we receive a lawful subpoena, court order, or similar legal demand, we may need to provide the
requested data. We will only do so after evaluating the request and ensuring it has a proper legal basis. If
allowed, we may attempt to notify you of such requests (however, in some cases we might be legally prohibited
from notifying you).
Other Legal Requirements: We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that
such action is necessary to:
- Comply with a legal obligation (e.g., responding to lawful government requests or tax authorities).
-
Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company (for example, to enforce our Terms of Service or
investigate potential violations).
-
Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service (such as fraud, abuse, security
incidents, or technical issues).
-
Protect the personal safety of Users of the Service or the public. For instance, if we suspect someone’s
safety is at risk, we might notify authorities or individuals to prevent harm.
-
Protect against legal liability. This includes using data to defend ourselves in legal proceedings or to
pursue remedies available to us (for example, disclosing information to our legal counsel and insurers).
In all such cases, we will only share the minimum information necessary and will ensure any third parties
involved are obligated to keep your information confidential.
Security of Your Personal Data
We take the security of your personal data very seriously and implement a range of administrative, technical,
and physical safeguards to protect it:
-
Encryption: All communication between your app and our servers is protected by encryption
protocols such as HTTPS/TLS. This means that data transmitted to us (for example, when you register or log
in, or when data is sent from the app to our servers) is encrypted in transit and cannot be easily
intercepted by third parties. For sensitive information, we also use encryption at rest (storage encryption)
on our databases or servers, adding another layer of protection.
-
Secure Payment Processing: As noted, we do not process payments ourselves – we rely on
reputable third-party payment providers (Apple, Google, etc.) which are PCI DSS compliant.
These providers are experts in handling payment data securely. We transmit payment-related information to
them through secure channels and never store full credit card numbers on our systems.
-
Access Controls: Access to personal data within our organization is restricted on a
need-to-know basis. Only authorized personnel (for example, a customer support agent assisting you, or a
developer troubleshooting an issue) can access personal data, and even then, only the minimum necessary
data. Our staff are bound by confidentiality obligations and trained on data privacy and security practices.
-
Security Testing and Updates: We regularly update our application and backend systems
with security patches and improvements. We employ industry-standard security measures such as firewalls,
intrusion detection systems, and anti-virus scanning. We also periodically review our security procedures
and may engage in penetration testing or security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
-
Data Minimization: We strive to collect only the data that we need. By minimizing the
amount of personal data stored, we reduce the risk associated with a potential breach. For example, if
certain information is no longer needed, we anonymise or delete it as described in the retention section
above.
-
Incident Response: In the unlikely event of a data breach or security incident, we have
an incident response plan in place. This plan includes notifying affected users and relevant authorities
(such as privacy regulators) as required by law, and taking immediate steps to mitigate the breach and
prevent future occurrences. We also maintain logs and monitoring so that we can detect unusual activity
quickly.
While we employ robust security measures, it’s important to understand that
no method of transmission over
the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure
. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your
information. However, we constantly work to protect your data and to update our security practices in line
with the latest threats and technologies. We also encourage you to use a strong unique password for your
account and to keep your login credentials confidential to help keep your own data safe.
If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you suspect
that your account has been compromised), please contact us immediately so we can assist.
Third-Party Data Sharing and Processing
To provide the I Can App’s services efficiently, we rely on certain third-party services and partners
who process data on our behalf. We want to be transparent about who these third parties are and what they do:
Marketing and Communication
We sometimes send out emails and notifications to our users (for example, a newsletter with motivational
tips, or a product update announcement). To manage these communications, we use third-party email service
providers. Currently, we might use services such as Microsoft Outlook (and related services) for direct
email and may use an email marketing platform (for example, Mailchimp or similar) for newsletters or
bulk communications.
Data Processed for Communications:
-
Email Address and Name: We use your email to send you the communications you signed up
for. If you gave us your name, we might personalise the email with your name.
-
Engagement Metrics: Our email tools often provide metrics like whether you opened an
email, or clicked on a link inside it. We use these metrics to gauge the effectiveness of our communications
and to improve content. For example, if few people open a certain type of email, we’ll learn to send it at a
different time or adjust the content.
-
Unsubscribe Management: If you unsubscribe from our mailing list, these services help
ensure you don’t receive further emails. They manage an “opt-out” list which we honour.
We include an “unsubscribe” link in every marketing or newsletter email we send. If you don’t want to receive
these emails, you can click that link or contact us to be removed. Transactional or service-related emails
(like an email confirming you changed your password, or responses from support) may still be sent as needed,
since those aren’t promotional in nature.
We may also communicate with you through push notifications in the app for marketing or promotional purposes,
but only if you have given permission. You can always opt out of promotional push notifications by
adjusting the in-app settings or your device notification settings for the I Can App.
Payment Processing
As mentioned earlier, we partner with trusted third-party payment processors to handle any
transactions (such as subscription payments). These include:
- Apple App Store In-App Payments (for iOS users)
- Google Play Store In-App Payments (for Android users)
When you make a purchase in the I Can App, the payment transaction is routed through these third parties.
They are responsible for processing your payment information securely.
Data Processed for Payments can include:
-
Payment Card Details: such as your card’s number, expiration date, and security code, if
you enter a card. (For in-app subscriptions via Apple/Google, you typically do not enter card details directly
into our app; you use the
payment method stored in your Apple or Google account.)
-
Transaction Details: like the amount charged, the date and time of the transaction, a
description of the purchase (e.g., “1-Month I Can App Premium Subscription”), and an order or transaction
ID.
-
Billing Information: such as the billing name and address linked to the payment method,
which might be used to verify the transaction and for receipt generation.
-
Fraud Prevention Data: Payment processors may use additional data (like device
information or transaction history) to detect and prevent fraud.
These payment partners are PCI-DSS compliant and specialize in secure payment handling. The I Can App
itself does not see or store your full financial account numbers. For example, when you purchase a
subscription on iOS, Apple provides us a confirmation that payment was made, but we never see your actual
credit card number. We might see some limited info such as the card type and last 4 digits (for reference on
receipts) or a tokenized transaction ID, but that’s it.
Please review the privacy policies of Apple, Google , or any relevant payment provider
you use, for details on how they handle your payment data. If you have questions about payment security, those
providers’ documentation is the best resource, as they are the ones processing the information.
If you suspect any unauthorised transaction or issue with billing, contact us and/or the relevant payment
provider immediately so we can help investigate (see Subscriptions above for more
on handling disputes).
Advertising Services
We want to keep the basic version of the I Can App free and accessible, and one way we do that is by showing
advertisements to non-subscribers. We work with advertising partners such as Google Ads/AdMob and
possibly others to display ads in the app. These partners help us deliver ads that are relevant to users, and
in return we may earn revenue that supports the app’s development.
Data Processed for Advertising may include:
-
Ad Identifiers: Mobile advertising ID (such as Google’s Advertising ID on Android or
Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS). This is a unique, resettable number assigned by your
device for advertising purposes. We (and ad partners) use this ID to ensure you don’t see the same ad too
many times, and to enable certain ad features like frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, or fraud
detection.
-
Preferences and Profiles: General information about your interests as inferred from your
usage of our app or others. For example, if you often view content about fitness, you might see more
fitness-related ads. Our advertising partners might also have their own profile of your interests based on
websites or apps you’ve used (if you have allowed tracking – see below on how you can control this).
-
Location (General): We do not give advertisers your precise location. However, ads may be
targeted roughly by your general location (such as city or country) based on your IP address or device
settings, in order to show content relevant to your region (for example, not showing an ad in Spanish if
your device language and location are set to English in Australia). If our app ever explicitly asks for
location access for some feature, we will not share precise GPS location with advertising partners without
your clear permission.
-
Ad Engagement Info: Data on how you interact with ads in our app. For instance, if you
tap an advertisement or watch a video ad, that event is logged. This helps advertisers measure the
effectiveness of their campaigns and helps us get paid (e.g., some advertisers pay per click or view). It
also helps in not showing you ads you’ve already seen or interacted with frequently.
Our ad partners may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to collect this information within our app
(cookies in a mobile app context might be an SDK doing similar tracking). All our advertising practices are
intended to comply with Google Play and Apple App Store policies. This means, for example,
on iOS devices
we honour Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT)
requirements: if our app engages in what Apple defines
as “tracking” (linking user or device data collected from our app with data collected from other companies’
apps/websites for targeted advertising), we will present the iOS permission prompt to ask for your consent. If
you decline, we will not allow advertising SDKs to track you across other apps and will serve only contextual
ads (or no targeted ads) as per Apple’s guidelines.
Your Choices for Advertising:
You have control over how ads are personalized to you:
-
On Android: You can opt out of personalized advertising by going to Google settings on
your device and selecting “Opt out of Ads Personalisation.” You can also reset your Advertising ID from time
to time. Our app respects this setting – if you opt out, our ad providers will not use your data to target
ads based on your profile. You may still see ads, but they may be less relevant to your interests.
-
On iOS: If you give permission for tracking, our ad partners may use data from other apps
to personalise ads for you. If you deny permission, our ad partners are informed not to track you for
targeted ads. You can also disable tracking for all apps by going to Settings > Privacy > Tracking
on your iPhone and toggling off “Allow Apps to Request to Track.” Additionally, iOS has an “Reset
Advertising Identifier” option and a “Limit Ad Tracking” (older iOS versions) which we also honour.
We carefully choose our advertising partners to ensure they have strong data privacy and security practices.
We also contractually require that any data they collect through our app is used in accordance with applicable
privacy laws and solely for the purposes of providing their services to us (e.g., serving and analysing ads).
We do not share information that directly identifies you (such as your name or email) with advertisers without
your consent. Advertisers see advertising IDs, not your personal contact info.
Lastly, we aim to ensure that the ads shown in I Can App are appropriate for our audience. We do not
knowingly allow ads with inappropriate content (such as explicit, violent, or misleading ads), and our
partners usually have content filters in place. If you ever see an ad that is offensive or seems out of place,
please take a screenshot if possible and notify us so we can address it with the ad provider.
Remarketing
In addition to in-app ads, we may use remarketing (retargeting) services. Remarketing means we (or
third parties on our behalf) could show you ads for the I Can App on other websites or apps after you’ve used
our Service. For example, if you visit our website or use the app, you might later see an ad for I Can App on
a social media feed or another website. This is a common advertising practice to reach people who have shown
interest in our Service.
How this works: A small piece of code (often a cookie or pixel) from the remarketing service is used to note
that you visited or interacted with us. Then, if you visit another site or app that is part of the same ad
network, the network recognizes the cookie/identifier and can serve our ad to you. We might use platforms like
Google Ads or Facebook Ads for this purpose.
Privacy considerations: Remarketing services typically use cookies or mobile ad IDs. They do
not know your name or who you are; they just know that a device with your identifier showed interest in our
app. If you don’t want to see retargeted ads from us, you can disable ad tracking as described above (which
covers this scenario too). You can also clear your cookies or use browser settings/plugins to block
third-party cookies (for web), which will limit remarketing. Many ad networks also allow you to opt out of
retargeting specifically – for example, Google has Google Ads Settings where you can opt out of personalized
ads, and the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) have opt-out pages
for member companies.
We only use remarketing in accordance with legal requirements. For instance, some jurisdictions require us to
get consent for the use of certain cookies or trackers – we will do so if applicable.
Push Notification Services
(This is not explicitly in the original third-party list, but we add it to clarify how push notifications
are delivered.)
The core function of the I Can App is to send you motivational quotes and reminders via push notifications.
To deliver these notifications, we rely on device operating system services and potentially third-party
services:
-
On iOS (Apple) devices, we use Apple’s APNs (Apple Push Notification service). When you
install the app and agree to receive notifications, Apple’s service helps route our messages to your device.
We have to register your device’s “push token” (an anonymous identifier) with Apple to send notifications.
This token is just a code; it doesn’t reveal personal info to us beyond what we already know (like we know
it’s tied to your account or installation).
-
On Android devices, we may use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) or the relevant Google push
service. Similar to Apple, it uses a token to deliver messages to your device.
These notification services are considered third-party in that Apple or Google’s servers are involved in
delivering the message. However, they do not access the content of your notifications beyond what is needed to
route them. The content of notifications in I Can App is generally not sensitive (they are motivational quotes
or simple messages you configured).
We do not currently use any analytics specifically tied to push notifications (for example, we are not
tracking at an individual level whether you opened a particular notification or not, aside from basic counts
for improving the service). In the future, if we decide to analyse push notification delivery or open rates in
detail, we will update this policy and likely treat any such data as part of “Usage Data” subject to the same
protections.
Remember, you can disable push notifications at any time in your device settings for our app. If you do so,
our notification service providers will stop delivering messages to you. Disabling notifications may
significantly reduce the utility of the app (since sending you inspiring notifications is a primary feature),
but it’s your choice. If you keep notifications enabled, you can rest assured that we treat the data involved
(like your push token) with care and only use it to send you the notifications you signed up for.
Third Party Authentication – Apple and Google Sign In
Optional use of third party sign in
The I Can App offers the option to sign in using Apple or Google authentication services. Use of these sign in methods is entirely optional. Users may alternatively create an account and log in using an email address and password created specifically for the I Can App. Choosing not to use Apple or Google sign in does not restrict access to the Service, except that users will be responsible for managing their login credentials directly with us.
Information received through Apple sign in
If you choose to sign in using Apple, Apple acts as an independent third party authentication provider and verifies your identity on our behalf. Subject to your authorisation, Apple provides us with limited account information necessary to create or authenticate your I Can App account. This information may include your name and email address.
Apple may allow you to hide your personal email address by providing a private relay email address. If you elect to use this feature, we will receive a unique relay email address in place of your personal email address.
We do not receive access to your Apple ID credentials, password or any other information associated with your Apple account. All authentication and credential handling is performed directly by Apple.
Information received through Google sign in
If you choose to sign in using Google, Google acts as an independent third party authentication provider and verifies your identity on our behalf. Subject to your authorisation, Google may provide us with limited profile information necessary to create or authenticate your I Can App account. This information may include your name, email address and profile image.
We do not receive access to your Google account password and we do not access other Google services or data associated with your account unless you explicitly authorise such access. All authentication and credential handling is performed directly by Google.
Use of third party authentication information
Information received from Apple or Google is used solely for the purpose of creating, authenticating, maintaining and managing your I Can App account. This may include using your name and email address or relay email address to establish your account, link your account to existing preferences or content and communicate with you regarding account related matters such as service updates, security notices and notices required under this Privacy Policy.
We do not store, process or retain Apple or Google account passwords and we do not request information beyond the limited profile data described above. We do not sell personal information obtained through third party authentication and we do not use such information for targeted advertising. Any sharing of personal data occurs only as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Control and disconnection of third party sign in
You may revoke or disconnect Apple or Google sign in at any time through the settings provided by Apple or Google. Following disconnection, we will retain only the personal information necessary to maintain your I Can App account or to comply with legal obligations, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
If you choose to delete your account entirely, your personal data will be permanently deleted or anonymised in accordance with the Delete Your Personal Data section of this Policy, subject only to any information we are required to retain to comply with applicable laws.
By choosing to sign in using Apple or Google, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information will be processed in accordance with this section and elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Children’s Privacy
Not Intended for Young Children: Our Service is
not directed to children under the age of
13
. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 13 years old. If
you are under 13, please do not use the app or provide any information about yourself to us. If we learn that
we have inadvertently gathered personal data from a child under 13 without proper consent, we will take steps
to delete that information promptly.
For users in certain regions, the age threshold may be higher (for example, 16 under the GDPR in some EU
countries, or as defined by local laws for child data). We aim to apply the stricter age limit if required by
those jurisdictions.
Parental Consent: In the event that the I Can App offers features that could be used by
children (13 or older in the US, or the relevant minimum age in other jurisdictions) with parental oversight,
we will follow applicable laws such as the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This means
if a user identified as under 13 (or under the applicable age) tries to register, we will require verifiable
parental consent before any personal data is collected or processed.
Verifiable parental consent could involve steps such as: the parent/guardian contacting us via a specific
process, providing a form of identification or payment (as allowed under COPPA to verify identity), or other
reasonable means to ensure consent is coming from a parent or legal guardian. We will explain at that time
what information we intend to collect from the child and how we will use it, so the parent can make an
informed decision.
Parental Rights: If you are a parent or guardian and you become aware that your child under
13 (or under the relevant age of consent) has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, please
contact us. As a parent/guardian, you have the right to review the personal information we have collected from
your child, request deletion of that information, and refuse to allow further collection or use of the child’s
information. We will assist you in these requests. For example, you can email us at I-Can-app@outlook.com to ask what information we have about your child (if any) and to request
that we delete it.
We do not require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to use the app.
Typically, since our app is about providing motivational content, a child user might only need to provide an
email (with parental approval) to create an account. We won’t use children’s data for marketing or publicity.
Encouragement of Parental Guidance: We strongly encourage parents and guardians to supervise
their children’s use of apps and to educate their kids about online privacy and safety. If you have any
questions or concerns about our Children’s Privacy practices, you can reach out via the contact information at
the end of this policy.
Compliance with Global Privacy Laws
We value the privacy rights of all our users worldwide and strive to comply with major privacy regulations.
This section outlines how we address key laws
-
California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA): We comply with CalOPPA by posting
this Privacy Policy, which discloses the categories of personal data we collect and with whom we share it.
We also honour Do-Not-Track signals as described below. We do not distribute personal information to third
parties for direct marketing without consent.
-
EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): For our users in the European Union (and
EEA), we abide by the GDPR’s requirements. This means we have a lawful basis for processing your data (as
described above), we uphold your rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and we have
implemented appropriate data protection measures and contractual agreements (like Data Processing Addendums
with our vendors) to safeguard your information.
-
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) & California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): For
California residents, we extend all rights provided under CCPA and CPRA. We do not sell personal information
as defined under CCPA. We disclose the categories of personal information we collect and the purposes (as
done in this Privacy Policy), and you have the right to opt-out of any “sale” or “sharing” of your data, the
right to know what is collected and to delete it (with certain exceptions), the right to correct inaccurate
information, and the right to equal service and price even if you exercise your privacy rights (no
discrimination). See the California Privacy Rights section below for more details on how to exercise these
rights.
-
Australian Privacy Act & Australian Privacy Principles (APPs): As an Australian-based
company, we adhere to the APPs which include principles such as open and transparent management of personal
information, anonymity options, collection of solicited personal information, dealing with unsolicited
information, notification of collection, use and disclosure (including cross-border disclosure), data
quality and security, access and correction rights. In practice, this means you can contact us to find out
what personal information we hold about you and request access or corrections. We will take reasonable steps
to secure personal data and will not use or disclose it for purposes other than those stated at collection
(unless an exception under the APPs applies). If you have a privacy concern, you can contact us and we will
address it; if you’re not satisfied, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the
Office of the
Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)
.
(We also comply with other relevant laws in other jurisdictions to the extent they apply, even if not
listed here. If you have a question about a specific law, feel free to ask us.)
Your Privacy Rights – Region Specific
Depending on your residency, you may have certain privacy rights. Below, we summarize key rights under GDPR
for EU users and under CCPA/CPRA for California users. We extend similar courtesy to all users where feasible,
so even if you’re not in one of these regions, you can still contact us to inquire about your data.
Rights Under the GDPR (EU/EEA Users)
If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or a jurisdiction with similar laws, you have the
following rights regarding your personal data:
-
1. Right to Access: You have the right to request confirmation of whether we are processing
your personal data, and if so, to request a copy of the data we hold on you. We will provide this in a
commonly used electronic format. (This is sometimes called a “Data Subject Access Request.”)
-
2. Right to Rectification: If the personal data we have about you is incorrect or
incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it. For example, if you change your name
or email, or you find a typo in data we have stored, let us know and we will fix it.
-
3. Right to Erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data. This right is also
known as the “Right to be Forgotten.” We will honour such requests so long as we do not have a compelling
legal reason to retain the data. (See the Delete Your Personal Data section for more info on how
deletion works.)
-
4. Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to ask us to restrict or suspend
processing of your personal data if you contest its accuracy, if the processing is unlawful and you prefer
restriction over deletion, if we no longer need the data but you need it for legal claims, or if you have
objected to processing (see #5) and verification of our legitimate grounds is pending. When processing is
restricted, we will still store your data but not use it until the issue is resolved.
-
5. Right to Object to Processing: You may object to our processing of your personal data
when that processing is based on legitimate interests or when done for direct marketing. If you object on
legitimate interest grounds, we will review whether our reasons override your rights and freedoms; if not,
we will cease the processing in question. If you object to processing for direct marketing, we will stop
processing your data for those purposes immediately. (For example, you can object to receiving marketing
emails or targeted push notifications, and we will honour that.)
-
6. Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we provide your personal
data to you (or to another data controller) in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. This
typically applies to data you provided us directly (e.g., your profile information or content you’ve
uploaded), and when the processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means. We
will facilitate this by, for example, giving you a CSV or JSON file
of your data if you request it.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at I-Can-App@outlook.com with your
request. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling the request (to ensure that we don’t give your
data to someone else). We will respond to your request within one month, or let you know if we need more time
(which can be an additional two months for complex requests, but we’ll inform you and explain why if so).
Additionally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (DPA)
if you believe we have infringed your privacy rights. For example, EU users can contact the supervisory
authority in their country of residence. You can find contact details for DPAs on the European Data Protection
Board’s website. Of course, we would appreciate the chance to address your concerns directly first, so we
encourage you to reach out to us with any issue.
We take these rights seriously. Our aim is to be transparent and helpful in allowing you to exercise control
over your personal data.
Rights Under the CCPA/CPRA (California Residents)
If you are a resident of California, U.S.A., you have specific privacy rights under the California Consumer
Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These include:
-
1. Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose what personal information
we collect, use, disclose, and share or sell (if applicable) about you. This includes the categories of
personal information, the categories of sources from which the info was collected, the business or
commercial purpose for collecting or sharing, the categories of third parties with whom we share the
personal info, and the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you. Essentially, you can ask
for a report of your personal data and our data practices regarding your information.
-
2. Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete personal information we
have collected from you (and direct our service providers to do the same), subject to certain exceptions.
For instance, we may not delete information that is necessary to complete a transaction you requested, to
detect security incidents, to comply with a legal obligation, or other exceptions allowed by law. We have
outlined how deletion works in Delete Your Personal Data above; those principles apply here as well.
-
3. Right to Correct: You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate personal
information that we maintain about you. If you find any of your data is wrong or outdated, let us know and
we will correct it (after verifying your identity and the accuracy of the new information).
-
4. Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information: The CCPA/CPRA gives you the
right to direct us not to sell your personal information to third parties. “Sale” is broadly defined to
include some sharing of data for valuable consideration. CPRA also covers the right to opt-out of “sharing”
which refers specifically to sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising (targeted advertising).
Important: The I Can App does not sell your personal data for money. We also do not share
personal data for cross-context behavioural advertising outside of the context of allowing ads to run in our
app as described (which might be considered “sharing” of device identifiers with ad networks). If you do not
want your data to be used for personalized advertising, you can opt out as described in the Advertising
section (by using device settings or contacting us). We treat such preferences as CCPA opt-out requests. You
may also use a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Info” link or setting if provided in the app/website. If we
ever expand our data sharing practices, we will provide a clear opt-out mechanism.
-
5. Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: CPRA grants the right, in certain
cases, to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (SPI) if a business uses it for
reasons other than those allowed. The I Can App does not collect sensitive personal info like government
IDs, full account passwords, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, etc., beyond possibly an email
and password (which are necessary for your account) and basic demographics if you provide them. If in the
future our app collects any sensitive info, we will only use it for necessary purposes (like a payment card
number solely for completing a transaction) or we will provide an option to limit its use.
-
6. Right of Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of
your CCPA rights. This means we won’t deny you our services, charge you a different price, or provide a
different level or quality of service just because you exercised your privacy rights. (However, please note
that if you ask us to delete data that is essential for providing the service, we might not be able to
continue providing that service – for example, deleting your account data will mean you can’t log in. That’s
considered a consequence of deletion, not discrimination. We will always be fair and explain any such
consequences.)
Exercising Your California Rights:
To make a request under CCPA/CPRA, you (or your
authorized representative) can contact us at I-Can-App@outlook.com with the subject line “CCPA Request” (or
something similar that clearly indicates what you want). Please specify which right you seek to exercise
(Know, Delete, Correct, or Opt-Out). We will need to verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty
before fulfilling certain requests (especially for the Right to Know specific pieces of information or Right
to Delete). Verification may include matching information you provide in the request with information we have
on file (such as confirming your email address, last transaction, etc.).
If you use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, we will require proof of the agent’s
authority and verification of your identity directly, unless the agent has power of attorney under California
law.
For opt-out of sale/sharing requests, we have a simpler process: you can simply instruct us via email or use
any provided mechanism (like a “Do Not Sell or Share” link if available). Opt-out requests do not need
elaborate verification – we may ask for some minimal information to ensure we apply the request to the correct
account/device.
We aim to respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days as the law requires. If we need more time
(up to another 45 days, totalling 90 days maximum), we will inform you of the reason and extension in writing.
Again, we want to stress that our policy is
not to monetize your personal data by selling it to third
parties
. Any sharing we do is principally for providing the service (with service providers) or for
advertising as described, which you can control. If you have any questions or concerns about your personal
information or these rights, please contact us — we are here to help and will gladly clarify any of our
practices.
Do Not Track Signals
Web browsers often have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that can send a signal to websites indicating you do
not wish to be tracked across sites. The online industry is still working on defining exactly what it means to
honour DNT signals, and there is no universal standard adopted by all sites or apps yet.
Because the I Can App is primarily a mobile application, DNT signals (which are a web browser mechanism) may
not directly apply to the app’s operation. However, if you use our website and your browser sends a DNT
signal, we currently treat it similarly to an opt-out of analytics/advertising cookies. We already limit
cross-site tracking to the best of our ability and focus on first-party data uses.
For in-app data, we give you equivalent controls through the settings described earlier (like opting out of
personalized ads).
In summary, our stance is to respect user preferences regarding tracking: if you tell us (or use a tool to
tell us) you don’t want tracking for advertising, we will honour it. As standards emerge or if DNT becomes
standardized and legally required, we will update our approach accordingly.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal
requirements, or for other operational reasons. If we make significant changes, we will let you know via
appropriate means:
- We will post the updated Privacy Policy on this page (and update the “Last updated” date at the top).
-
If changes are substantial, we will also provide a more prominent notice. This could be via an
in-app notification or alert, an email to you (if you have provided an email and agreed to such
communications), or a notice on our website’s homepage. For example, if we were to start collecting new
types of personal data or change how we use data in a meaningful way, we’d inform you in advance.
-
In some cases, we may seek your consent to the changes if required by law. For instance, if a change would
require new consent under GDPR, we would do so.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the
Service after any update to this Privacy Policy will be deemed as acceptance of the changes, to the extent
permitted by law. Of course, if you do not agree with any changes, you always have the choice to stop using
the Service or exercise any applicable rights (like deleting your data or opting out of certain uses).
If you have any questions about what has changed, you can contact us for clarification. We will also maintain
an archive or changelog of Privacy Policy versions if required, so that you can see what changes were made.
