This Privacy Policy describes how Makawa Teknoloji Limited Şirketi ("Makawa", "We", "Us", or "Our") protects your privacy when you use Makawa (the "Makawa Service") which includes the Web site located at makawatechnology.com (the "Site") and all Makawa Technology mobile phone applications (each, the "App").
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE Makawa SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. THIS PRIVACY POLICY IS PART OF AND INCORPORATED INTO Makawa's TERMS OF USE ("Terms of Use"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW, YOU MAY NOT USE THE Makawa SERVICE.
This Privacy Policy applies to information (including personal information) collected through the Makawa Service.
If you decide not to read this entire Privacy Policy, we want you to walk away with a few key points about our privacy practices:
When you use the App, we may collect information about you, including:
We do not use the food photos, your age, your height, your weight, or your gender that you provide when you use the App for any reason other than to provide you with the calorie and nutrient calculation functionality of the App and to calculate your required daily calorie intake. We may use other information (such as app usage information, device data) for the following purposes:
Your food photos and personal health information (age, height, weight, gender) are absolutely not used for any other purpose. This information is not shared with third parties.
We absolutely do not share users' food photos, age, height, weight, or gender with third parties.
We may share your other personal information (excluding food photos and your personal health information) in the following limited circumstances:
Your food photos, age, height, weight, and gender are never shared with any third parties. As we do not have advertising partners, no data is shared in that context. As we do not offer connection features with third-party platforms or social media networks, no data is shared in that context.
We may be required to use and share your personal information to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities.
In this section, we describe the rights and choices available to all users.
Our App does not directly display any targeted online advertising. However, our business partners, such as Google and Facebook, may use certain anonymous and aggregated information collected through your App usage (in a way that does not directly identify you) for their own advertising targeting purposes on their respective platforms. The data usage practices of these partners are governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. Our App does not share your directly personally identifiable information with these partners for advertising purposes.
Where we are legally required to collect your personal information, or where we need your personal information in order to provide the App to you, if you do not provide this information when requested (or if you later ask to delete it), we may not be able to provide you with our services. We will inform you what information you must provide to use the App by designating it as required at the time of collection or through other appropriate means. This particularly applies to information such as your age, height, weight, and gender, which is necessary for us to provide you with accurate calorie calculations. If you do not provide this information, you may not be able to utilize the core functionalities of the App.
Our App does not currently offer direct connection features through Facebook login or other third-party platforms or social media networks. Therefore, you do not have the option to limit the information we might obtain from these platforms or directly control your settings through our App in this regard. However, you can manage your data sharing with these platforms by reviewing their own privacy settings and policies.
The App may contain links to other websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or a representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or in mobile applications or online services that are not associated with us. We do not control third-party websites, mobile applications, or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites, mobile applications, and online services follow different rules regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites, mobile applications, and online services you use.
We use commercially reasonable security practices to help keep the information collected through the App secure and take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your account (if you have an account with us). However, FoodFlex cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to FoodFlex Service or guarantee that information on the App may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
Please do your part to help us. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information and device identifiers, and for controlling access to communications between you and FoodFlex Service, at all times. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes the social media services you connect to FoodFlex Service make to their services. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization. However, as our App does not directly connect to social media services, this point is less applicable to our App.
We do not store your food photos.
With respect to non-photograph information that we may collect, we will retain such information in a personally identifiable format only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we have set out in this Privacy Policy. You may also ask that we delete your information by contacting us.
We store the information we collect in connection with the App on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. For Amazon Web Services, we specify the US as the data storage location; for Google Cloud Platform, we specify data storage at an available location closest to you when you use the App. Your personal information may be accessed by our service providers in other locations outside of your state, province, or country. Your device ID (and general App usage information) may also be accessed by the Company’s technical support team in other locations outside of your state, province, or country.
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13, and our Terms of Use do not allow children under 13 years of age to use the App. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete it. We encourage parents with concerns to contact us.
This section contains disclosures required by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and applies only to “personal information” that is subject to the CCPA.
THE FOODFLEX SERVICES ARE NOT MEANT FOR CALIFORNIA-LOCATED PEOPLE UNDER 16. We do not knowingly collect information for use in connection with advertising from California children under the age of 16. If we receive a verifiable notice through info@makawatechnology.com that a California minor under the age of 16 has signed up for a FoodFlex Services account and provided us with personal information, we will take measures to delete it as soon as possible. Additional details regarding California consumer rights follow below.
