Privacy Policy
Summary
This privacy policy explains what information/data is collected and how it is used. Your privacy is important and the goal of this Privacy Policy is to be as simple and non-technical as possible. This version of the Privacy Policy replaces and supersedes any prior privacy policies.
Purpose of App
BASE is an open chat app that measures users' soft skills based on data with algorithms. Our algorithms measure your soft skills/traits based on a wide range of data (interactions, behavioural, statistical, conversational, etc.) generated from the way you and others interact with each other in an open/official setting: BASE is an open chat app for the reasons of credibilty and transparency of our results.
What Information is Collected and How
Technical and statistical information is collected when you interact within the platform
Like almost all websites or mobile applications, the platform may create and record certain information in an automated way. For example, when you use the platform, its servers may automatically record information about your interaction with other users, its products, including messages exchanged, information about your read/response message time, number of invitations sent out, information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website and more. Data may include the address of the web page you were visiting before you came to the platform, your Internet Protocol address, the date and time of your request, browser type and settings, and how you interacted with the platform.
The platform may also use “cookies” (a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes), or similar technologies to record data. When cookies are used, the platform may use “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, the platform may use cookies to store your language preferences or other platform settings so you don’t have to set them up every time you visit the platform.
The platform may also collect information about the device you’re using when accessing the platform, including what type of device it is, what operating system you’re using, device settings, unique device identifiers, and crash data. Whether the platform collects some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings. For example, different types of information are available depending on whether you’re using a Mac or a PC, or an iPhone or an Android phone. To learn more about what information your device makes available, please also check the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider.
Information is collected when you use our app, give it, or give permission to collect it
When you sign up for or use the platform’s Services, you may voluntarily share certain information. This can include information such as your your name, profile photo, comments, email address, and any other information you provide.
How Information is Used
Information collected is used to provide the Services to you, make them better, measure users' soft skills/traits and rank them, develop new Services, and protect the platform and its users.
The information collected may be “personally identifiable” (meaning it can be used to specifically identify you as a unique person) or “non-personally identifiable” (meaning it can’t be used to specifically identify you). The platform uses both types of information, and combinations of both types, as described above.
How Information is Shared
The information collected will be used to publicly showcase users' (with personal information: name, profile picture, school and major) soft skills/traits in points, percentiles or in other ways to rank users after measuring them. BASE is an open chat app for the reasons of credibilty and transparency of our results and therefore, all the conversational messages in BASE is publicly accessible.
Your personal information may be used to alert you of new products or services, features, or enhancements; handle your customer service questions or issues; request feedback; and notify you of promotions, updates, or special offers that may interest you.
Your personal information may be used with non-personal information that was collected in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user. Your personal information may be made non-personally identifiable by either combining it with information about other users (aggregating your personal information with information about other users), or by removing characteristics (such as your name or email address) that make the information personally identifiable. This process is known as de-personalizing your information. You grant the platform a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and fully transferable right and license to use your personal information in connection with the creation and development of analytical and statistical analysis tools relating to the use of the customer data collected (the “Analytical Data”).
Children’s Privacy
The platform is not intended for children under 13. Children’s privacy is a serious matter and parents are encouraged to play an active role in their children’s online experience at all times.
Consent
By using the platform, you consent to the collection and use of this information by the platform.
Notification of Changes
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all such changes will be posted on this page.
Terms of Use
Please read the Terms of Service governing the use of the platform.
