For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider.


3. THE LEGAL BASIS WE RELY ON


The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including legitimate interest.  We use a legitimate interest basis to collect and process your data in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interest. Specifically, we process your data as described in section 4.


If you wish to opt out of this collection and processing of your personal information, you may do so at any time. To do so, please complete the form within the app:


iOS: Help > About this app > Opt out of the experiment


Android: Settings > Opt out


As all your data is anonymised this is the only way we can locate your data.


4. WHAT WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT


Like other Mobile Apps, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualised content. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone, except in cases when that proves necessary.


Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Specifically, we will retain the information we collect from you for a maximum period of 2 years. After the expiry of this period we undertake to delete any information we have collected from you.


Aggregate information and information that does not personally identify you, may be used in many ways. For example, 23 Ltd may combine information about your usage patterns on the Mobile App with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and Services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited the most or what features Users find the most attractive). This information does not include any information about you and does not allow anyone to identify you individually. We may use personally identifiable information, collected on the Mobile App, to communicate with you about your registration and customisation preferences; our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy; services and products offered by or through the Mobile App; and other topics we think you might find of interest. Personally identifiable information collected by 23 Ltd may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to Mobile App administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, creating an ever more effective product, contribution to publications that add to the scientific literature, and and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our Mobile App – our Web hosting service for example – may have access to such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by the applicable law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities, whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.


We may use personal information we collect from you, such as age, gender, interests, activities etc. in order to better understand your behaviour and provide you with the most relevant content and advertisements. We use this information to serve you with more relevant advertisements, a process also know as Remarketing.


For example, you may see certain advertisements on the app, this website or other websites due to the fact that we contract with Google and other similar third parties, to target our advertisements based on the information we or they have collected, including but not limited through automated means, such as cookies.


You may opt out of the automated collection of information by changing your preferences at http://www.google.com/settings/ads.
