If you choose to register for an account utilizing your credentials from a third party service (such as Google), then your name and email address will be provided to us as permitted by your profile settings within that third party service. We will inform you, when requesting your Personal Data, if certain data must be provided or if it is optional. We also collect the information that you may choose to submit to our customer support team, for example regarding a problem you are experiencing with our Services. This may include your contact information, a summary of the problem you are experiencing, and any other documentation or information that would be helpful in resolving the issue.

You authorize this access by agreeing to this Privacy Policy and providing any consent required by your email provider.

5- How We Use Personal Data
In addition to providing our App’s main functionality, we may use Users personal data for the following purposes:
To provide the Services and manage your access to and use of the Services.
We use information about you to provide the Services to you, including to register you for the Services, process transactions with you, authenticate you when you log in, provide customer support, and operate and maintain the Services. PurposeWorks does not sell personal data to third parties or allow third parties to access the data for marketing purposes or for serving advertisements. We collect data for the sole purpose of providing an App that lets Users manage the data in question. We have no interest in collecting non-anonymized data from anyone who isn’t a registered User of the App.
We will not transfer any Users data to others unless doing so is necessary to provide and improve the App’s functionality, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Example of how we use collected data to offer App functionality include:
Synchronizing data from Users external channels to be displayed in the App’s interface.
Data synchronization happens continuously, regardless of Users being online (actively using the App) or offline, for purposes such as sending notifications to Users mobile devices. Only upon the deletion of the account will we stop synchronizing with the user’s data.
To communicate with you about the Services and provide you with customer support
We use your contact information to communicate with you about the Services, respond to your customer support questions and requests, and to provide you notices regarding the Services (including notices about your account, product update announcements, security alerts, administrative notifications and the like). In connection with providing you with customer support, we may also use the information we automatically collect and information that you provide to us and consent for us to view and utilize as part of a support request so that we can respond to your request, analyze information related to your support request, and to repair or improve the Services. We may also provide you with tailored communications that are based on your interactions with the Services. For example, certain actions you take may trigger a third-party app suggestion or we may communicate with you as you begin using the Services to assist you as you learn to be proficient in your use of the Services. These communications are fundamental to the Services and in most cases you cannot opt out of them. If an opt out becomes available, you will find information about how to opt out in the communication itself or in your account settings.
For research and development
So that we can continually improve the functionality of our Services, we utilize our collective learnings about the way users interact with and use the Services, as well as feedback provided directly to us, to troubleshoot issues, fix bugs, enhance functionality, and identify areas for integration and improvement of the Services.
To market and promote our Services
We use your contact information to communicate directly with you, including by sending you newsletters, promotions or information about current and future products and services. You may opt out of receiving such communications at any time by (i) clicking the unsubscribe link included in all the emails you receive or (ii) contacting us as indicated in Section 9 below (“Contact”).
To protect our legitimate business interests and legal rights
Where required by law, or where we think it is necessary to protect our legal rights and interests or the legal rights and interests of others, we use information about you in connection with legal claims, compliance and regulatory functions. If you ask us to delete your data or to be removed from our marketing lists we will fulfill your request, keeping basic data to identify you and prevent further unwanted processing. As used above, “legitimate interests” means our interests in conducting our business, managing and delivering the best Services to you. We will not use your Personal Data for activities where the impact on you overrides our interests, unless we have your consent or those activities are otherwise required or permitted by law.
