Privacy Policy

Last Changes to Privacy Policy: 6/4/2023

 

We are strongly committed to letting you know how we will collect and use your personal information.  The policies below are applicable to the “Intent” app published by INTENT Limited and its related companies; the Intent website located at https://theintentapp.com/; all e-mail newsletters published or distributed by Organization; and all other interactive features and communications provided by Organization, however accessed and/or used, that are operated by us, made available by us, or produced and maintained by Organization (collectively “Organization” or “we”, “us”, or “our”) (“App”). We have established this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to let you know the kinds of personal information we may gather during your use of this App, why we gather your information, what we use your personal information for, when we might disclose your personal information, and how you can manage your personal information.  

 

Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy apply only to information gathered online through our App. It does not apply to information that you may submit to us offline or by companies or organizations to which we may link or who may link to us.

 

By using our App, you are accepting the practices described in our Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.  We reserve the right to modify or amend the terms of our Privacy Policy from time to time without notice. Your continued use of our App following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.  If we intend to apply the modifications or amendments to this Privacy Policy retroactively or to personal information already in our possession, we will provide you with notice of the modifications or amendments.

 

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or don’t see your concerns addressed here, you should contact us by email at contact@theintentapp.com.
 

What Information About Me Is Collected and Stored?

 

We recognize that your use of the App may involve sensitive and highly personal feelings.  We have designed the App to minimize the personal information that is collected from you.

We collect two basic types of information from you in conjunction with your use of the App, personal information and non-personal information.  

Personal information is information that you supply to us, as described more fully below.  

Non-personal information is information that does not personally identify you. It is diagnostic data that we aggregate, such as which emotions are most frequently chosen, which videos are watched and for how long, and other data about the performance of the App.
 

Personal Information

 

As a general matter, you can use and browse the App without submitting your personal information to us.  However, there are a few circumstances in which you may supply us with your personal information.  The following lists the ways in which we may collect your personal information.

 

Registration for an account on the App

Profile information that You provide for Your user profile

Your member ID when required to access the INTENT service

Information shared to receive alerts or other information via email, text or notifications.

App related communications, e.g. customer support

Submission of content or other data and information on any part of the App that permits it

Any other place on the App where you knowingly volunteer personal information

 

In addition, when you register for an account with the App, that registration is with Apple and is stored through your Apple device and Apple account.  We do not collect, store, or have access to that information.

 

Non-Personal Information

 

In addition, when you interact with the App, we may collect certain information that does not identify you individually and our servers may automatically keep an activity log of your use of our App (“Non-Personal Information”). Generally, we collect and store the following categories of Non-Personal Information:

 

Non-identifiable demographic data such as age, gender, and the name of emotions as part of collecting personal information

Device information about your computer, browser, mobile device, or other device that you use to access the App.  This information may include IP address, geolocation information, unique device identifiers, browser type, browser language, and other transactional information.

Analytics and usage information about your use of the App.  

Additional “traffic data” and log files such as time of access, date of access, software crash reports, session identification number, access times, and referring App addresses.

Other information regarding your use of the App.

 

Collection of Your Source IP Address/Location Information

 

We do not store your device’s source IP address. We do, however, receive information which will disclose which city you are in at the time you use the app.  We will delete any location information that you request.  


 

Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

 

Like many websites and mobile applications, we use “cookies”, which are small text files that are stored on your computer or equipment when you visit certain online pages that record your preferences and actions.  We may also use cookies to monitor traffic, improve the App and make it easier and/or relevant for your use.  Like many sites, we use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to record your preferences, and track the use of our properties. We may also use these technologies to monitor traffic, improve the App and make it easier and/or relevant for your use.  If you delete your cookies or if you set your browser or device to decline these technologies, some features of the App may not work or may not work as designed.  

 

We use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies.   We do not use flash cookies, web storage, web beacons or other technology that tracks your browsing history across multiple websites.

 

We use cookies for the other purposes set out below:

 

We use cookies to remind us who you are and to find your account information in our database when you access a service so you do not need to log in at every visit. This helps us to provide you with service tailored to your specific needs and interests. A cookie is created when you register for a service

We use cookies to determine the browser the visitor uses so the site can be designed to work properly with the most common versions of different browsers

We use cookies in conjunction with sending you e-mail newsletters

Advertisers that place ads on the Apps may use cookies

We use cookies in conjunction with analysis of your use of our App and generate analytics regarding our App

We use cookies to estimate our audience size. Your browser is given a unique cookie that helps us determine whether yours is a repeat visit or a first visit

 

We also use various analytics services on our App to help us analyze how users interact with and use the App, compile reports on the App’s activity, and provide other services related to App activity and usage.  These analytics services use technologies that may collect various information from you such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring site.  The App does not use these analytics services to gather information that personally identifies you.  

How Do We Use Your Information?

 

We use the information we learn from you to help us personalize and continually improve your experience on the App.  We may use your Personal and Non-Personal Information in the following ways:

 

General Uses

 

To provide the Organization’s products and services

To communicate with you about your account or transactions with us or other users of the App (including service related announcements) and send you information about features and enhancements on our App

To upload your content to our App as you request

To permit you to update, edit, and manage your content on our App

To communicate with you about changes to our policies

To personalize content and experiences on our App, including providing you reports, recommendations and feedback based on your preferences

To analyze, optimize or improve our products, services and operations

To automatically update the App on your device

To prevent activities that may violate our policies


 

Who Do We Provide Your Information To?

 

Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we do not disclose information about your Personal Information.  

 

Third-Party Agents and Service Providers   

 

We have third party agents, subsidiaries, affiliates and partners that perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, billing, push notifications, storage, bandwidth, content management tools, analytics, customer service, fraud protection, etc.  These entities have access to the Personal Information needed to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of that Personal Information.  They are restricted from using, selling, distributing or altering this data in any way other than to provide the requested services to the App. Any third party with whom the app shares user data will provide the same or equal protection of user data as stated in the app’s privacy policy and required by the App Store Guidelines.

 

Business Partners and Research Partners

 

We may also share your personal information with other business partners, research partners and third parties in order to fulfill the purposes of the App.  You may withdraw your consent to our sharing of your Personal Information at any time by following the opt-out process described below, but please understand that this may impact your ability to successfully use the App.

 

Emergency Situations

 

We may also use or disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on us or the App; (b) protect and defend our rights or property, the App or our users, and (c) act under emergency circumstances to protect the personal safety of us, our affiliates, agents, or the users of the App or the public.  This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.


 

What Steps Are Taken To Keep Personal Information Secure?

 

Your information collected through the App will be stored and processed in Hong Kong. We exercise care in providing secure transmission of your information from your device to our servers.  Personal Information collected by our App are stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public.  Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose your Personal Information to you.  Please understand, however, that while we try our best to safeguard your Personal Information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  

 

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

 

Following termination or deactivation of your account, we will delete your personal information, provided that Organization, or its service providers may retain information (including your profile information) for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, and/or audit purposes. If you have any questions about termination or deactivation of your account, please contact us directly at contact@theintentapp.com.

 

What Happens When I Link To or From Another Location?

 

This App may contain links to other Apps and websites operated by third parties. Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy for Organization do not apply to information gathered through these other Apps or websites. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies of third parties and other Apps or websites.  

 

Governing Law

 

This App is published in Hong Kong. We attempt to protect the Personal Information of all users of our App and we attempt to comply with local data protection and consumer rights laws to the extent they may apply to the Organization’s services, but our App is located and targeted to Hong Kong citizens and our policies are directed at compliance with those laws.  If you are uncertain whether this privacy policy conflicts with the applicable local privacy laws where you are located, you should not submit your Personal Information to Organization.  


 

Assignment

 

We may change our ownership or corporate organization while providing the App.  We may also sell certain assets associated with the App.  As a result, please be aware that in such event we may transfer some or all of your information to an organization acquiring all or part of our assets or to another organization with which we have merged.  Under such circumstances we would, to the extent possible, require the acquiring party to follow the practices described in this Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time.  Nevertheless, we cannot promise that an acquiring entity or the merged entity will have the same privacy practices or treat your information the same as described in this Privacy Policy.


 

Changes to This Policy

 

As our App continues to develop, we may add new services and features to our App. In the event that these additions affect our Privacy Policy, this document will be updated appropriately.  We will post those changes prominently so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone.  We will not, however, materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of Personal Information we have previously collected from you without your express consent.


 

What Are Your Choices and How Do You Opt-Out?

 

We believe you should have choices about the collection, use and sharing of your information.  Although you cannot opt-out of all data collection when you visit our Apps, you can limit the collection, use and sharing of your personally identifiable information.  

 

Collection of Personal Information.  All personally identifiable information is provided on a voluntary basis.  If you do not want the Organization to collect such information, you should not submit it to the App.  However, doing so will restrict your ability to access some content and use some of the functionality of the App.  

 

Emails and Other Communications.  If you would like to alter the type of communications you receive from us, including opting out of promotional communications from us, you may do so at any time by updating the communication preferences specified in your account profile through the App.  Please note that this may affect your ability to access certain products and services, and we may continue to send non-promotional communications such as staffing confirmations, surveys, and other information about your use of the Service. If you refer others to us using our email functionality, please note that they may choose not to receive any promotional emails from us in the future by following the opt-out instructions in the email invitation.

 

Accessing and Correcting Your Information.  If you have an account with Organization, you may review and change your information by logging into your account and editing your profile.  Be advised that we may not be able to delete your Personal Information without also deleting your user account.  You will not be permitted to examine the Personal Information of any other person or entity and may be required to provide us with Personal Information to verify your identity prior to accessing any records containing information about you.  We may not accommodate a request to change or delete Personal Information if we believe doing so would violate any law or legal requirement, or be used to facilitate fraud or impersonation.



If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you should contact us by email at contact@theintentapp.com.

Dispute Resolution.  PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW CLAIMS THAT YOU AND DISCOVERY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. 

 

We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms of Service, if you have any dispute or disagreement with us regarding (i) your use of or interaction with the App, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships with Organization, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to Organization or that Organization may gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, “Organization Transactions or Relationships”), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court, or have a jury decide the claim and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By using or interacting with the App, or engaging in any other Organization Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.

 

We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using the App, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against Organization, and any claim that Organization may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, or any Organization Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre or its successor (“HKIAC”) and conducted in accordance with the HKIAC Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the HKIAC Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at https://www.hkiac.org/

 

You further agree that:

 

(a)        Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service is void or voidable;
 

(b)        Location of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by HKIAC pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and Organization; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission;

 

(c)        Governing Law. The Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of Hong Kong consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of Hong Kong, irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief;
 

(d)        No Class Relief. The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or Organization’s individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;

 

(e)        Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;
 

(f)        Arbitration Costs. In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of Arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Organization will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith;
 

(g)        Reasonable Attorney’s Fees. In the event you recover an Award greater than Organization’s last written settlement offer, the Arbitrator shall also have the right to include in the Award Organization’s reimbursement of your reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees associated with the Arbitration, but Organization shall in all events bear its own attorneys’ fees;
 

(h)        Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. With the exception of “No Class Relief” above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, “No Class Relief” is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Organization shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction;
 

(i)        Modification of Arbitration Clause With Notice. Organization may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after Organization has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from Organization Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification; and

 

(j)        Small Claims Matters are Excluded. No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, at your option, you may bring any claim you have against Organization in your local small claims court within Hong Kong, if your claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding.

 

General. Any claim relating to, and the use of, this App and the materials contained herein is governed by the laws of Hong Kong. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Hong Kong. A printed version of these Terms of Service will be admissible in judicial and administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

 

These Terms of Service set forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to the subject matter hereof.  We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our App, and operation of the App may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. If any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced.

Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. All sections which by their context ought to survive this agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
