REM Privacy Policy
World Data beliefs in giving users absolute control over their private data, enabling them to be SELF SOVEREIGN.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
- We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, referrer URL, location, and the time zone where a World Data product is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising.
- We may collect information regarding customer activities on our World Data Cloud & App services.
- This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our World Data & App services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
- We may collect and store details of how you use our services, including search queries. This information may be used to improve the relevancy of results provided by our services. Except in limited instances to ensure quality of our services over the Internet, such information will not be associated with your IP address.
- With your explicit consent, we may collect data about how you use your device and applications in order to help app developers improve their apps.
Disclosure and Sharing Data with Third Parties
At no time World Data may provide third parties (except as described below) with any type of personal information. You, the user is in control of all of your personal information and only you will be able to share any personal information with third parties to handle it in accordance with relevant laws. World Data does not sell personal information, and personal information will never be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.
It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for World Data to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose information about you, but only where there is a lawful basis for doing so, if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. This could include providing information to public or governmental authorities. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.
Protection of Personal Information
World Data uses the W3C standards and principles to implement self-sovereign identities. Please note that standards have not being completed so World Data may use proprietary algorithms to ensure end user control of his/her private data.
Face Recognition Privacy and Data Storage
We use Face Recognition to improve the Login security and we employ a technique that puts the user in control of the entire process. Without the active participation of the end user the process cannot be replicated.
Privacy is incredibly important to World Data. REM’s Face Recognition (RFR) stored data (in our servers) consists in a set of feature vectors that on stand-alone basis are meaningless to anyone. So, no meaningful RFR data is stored on our servers or end user devices, since the process is re-assembled every time the user decides to Login. Right after Login, we destroy key elements of the RFR process, rendering it useless to third parties.
Please note that the use of RFR is completely optional.
Location-Based Services
To provide location-based services on World Data products, World Data and our partners and licensees, such as maps data providers, may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your World Data computer or device. Where available, location-based services may use GPS, Bluetooth, and your IP Address, along with crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations, and other technologies to determine your devices’ approximate location. Unless you provide consent, this location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you and is used by World Data and our partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and services. For example, your device may share its geographic location with application providers when you opt in to their location services.
