1. INTRODUCTION

DRINGDONG (“Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) operates the website: [Insert Website URL] and its subdomains (“Website”), the DRINGDONG application (the “App”), and any associated features (collectively, the “Services”).

We are dedicated to safeguarding your privacy rights and enhancing transparency and fairness in how we process Personal Information (as defined below).

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is intended to provide clarity on the collection, storage, use, and sharing of information and is applicable whenever you visit our website, use our App, or access our Services in any manner.

While you are not legally obligated to provide us with Personal Information, please note that without it, we may not be able to offer you the complete range of our Services or provide you with the best user experience.

This Privacy Policy is an integral part of the Company's Terms of Use and is incorporated therein by reference. Any term not defined in this Policy shall carry the meaning as described in the Terms of Use.

We highly recommend that you carefully read and fully comprehend this Policy. Your use of the Services, including our Website or App, indicates your consent to this Policy. If you do not agree to the terms outlined in this Policy, we kindly request that you refrain from using our Services. Your continued use of the Services after any modifications to this Policy will signify your acceptance of those changes

Types of Data We Collect:

We gather two categories of data from you: Personal Information ("Personal Information") and non-Personal Information. Personal Information encompasses any details that could potentially identify you through reasonable means (for example, email address or name). Conversely, non-Personal Information refers to any data that does not pertain to an identified or identifiable natural person. This category includes aggregated usage information and technical details transmitted by your device (such as the type of device you use, your device's browser and operating system, language preference, access time, etc.). This section outlines the methods and occasions when we collect these types of data from you.

Personal Information:

Registration Information: Upon your registration for the Services, we request specific Personal Information, including your name, email address, mobile phone number, social media identifiers, and contact details.

Contact List: Periodically, we access your contact list or address book on your mobile device to identify and maintain mobile phone numbers of other users of the Service, based on your permission

Payment Information: Should you opt to make a purchase or withdraw funds from our Services, you will need to provide us with your billing information. The data required varies based on your chosen billing method. For instance, if you choose to pay via credit card, we will collect your card information.

Log-in History and Usage Information: To improve Service functionality and enhance your user experience, we collect technical information transmitted by your device during Service usage, including details related to your behavior and usage patterns.

Location Information: The Company gathers data about your general location (like city and country). For instance, we may utilize your IP address to determine your general location. However, this information does not precisely pinpoint your device's location. We also collect implicit location details, allowing us to infer your potential interest in a place or that you might be at a particular place—this information does not explicitly identify your device's precise location. Additionally, when location services are activated by the end-user (you), we collect your device's exact location using GPS signals, device sensors, Wi-Fi access points, Bluetooth signals, Beacon signals, cell tower IDs, or other geo-location data.

Communication Information: When you contact us via email or through our Service's support, we collect the Personal Information you provide, which may encompass your name, email address, and any additional information you choose to share.

Non-Personal Information:

We handle non-Personal Information, aggregated data, or Personal Information rendered in a non-human readable format (for instance, anonymous or grouped data detailing our user community's interactions with the Services) in the aforementioned scenarios. This includes purposes such as providing and enhancing our Services, generating aggregate statistics, conducting business and marketing analyses, and improving your Service experience.

We may anonymize or de-identify the information collected through the Services or other means in a manner that prevents individual identification. Our utilization and disclosure of such aggregated or de-identified information are not bound by the restrictions outlined in this Policy. Therefore, we may disclose it to third parties without constraints and for any purpose, such as advertising or marketing initiatives.

If we amalgamate Personal Information with Anonymous Information, the combined data will be regarded as Personal Information as long as it remains combined.
