Last Updated: March 6, 2025

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

• When you interact with the app, we (The HumanMaker) may collect responses, preferences, and other input data you voluntarily provide.

• If you create an account, we may collect your email address or username (if applicable).

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Device Information: We may collect technical details such as your device type, operating system, and app version to improve performance.

• Usage Data: We may track how you use the app (e.g., time spent on activities, interactions with features) to enhance user experience.

• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We may use cookies or local storage to remember your preferences.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide and improve the app experience.

• Analyze responses to enhance AI models and scoring mechanisms.

• Ensure fair and human-driven engagement by preventing bot interference.

• Fix bugs, enhance security, and improve performance.

2.1. Newsletter Permissions

The information you provide on the newsletter subscription form (email address) will only be used to send you our biweekly email newsletter ‘The Human’.

We will also send you occasional emails about promotions, new products and important updates to keep you in the loop.

You can unsubscribe anytime.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

Your privacy is important to us!

• No Selling of Data: We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

• Service Providers: We may share your data with third-party services for analytics, cloud storage, mailing lists, or app functionality, only where required or to protect your data.

• Legal Compliance: We may disclose data if required by law or to protect our rights and users.

4. Data Security

• We implement security measures to protect your information, but no system is completely secure.

• Users should avoid sharing personal or sensitive information within responses or comments.

5. Data Retention

• We retain user data as long as necessary to provide the app experience.

• You can request data deletion by contacting us here.

• If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

• For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your data.

• Request corrections or deletions. (This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.)

To exercise these rights, contact us here.

7. Children’s Privacy

• The app is not intended for users under 13. If we discover a child’s data was collected, we will delete it.

8. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

• An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

• Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

9. Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

• If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

• When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

• If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

10. Changes to This Policy

• We may update this policy from time to time.

• Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
