Data Processing Agreements
alertss does not provide Data Processing Agreements (DPA) at present. This is because of the way in which we process data. How Personal Data is Processed:
— Data Storage: Data collected during the use of the app is held by clients locally, and not retained on our servers.
— Data Anonymization: Personal data collected during the use of the app is anonymised before aggregation.
— Data Aggregation: Data collected during the use of the app is only used on an aggregate level.
For these reasons, a DPA is not needed.
Changes
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
