Information Teevers Collects

User Provided Information:  You provide certain personally identifiable information (such as your name, profile photo and email address) to Teevers when using the App Services.

 

Face Data:  When you use the camera effects function in either of the Apps, your face data in the recorded video is processed to obtain the coordinates that define the rectangular perimeter of your face for each video frame. These coordinates are stored and used to map facial effects, like glasses, hat, moustache, etc. onto your face in the recorded video. These stored information  are non-biometric and unable to identify you, except to locate where your face is within the screen display. These information are stored in the projects you created and they will be deleted immediately and permanently from all storages (local and online) when you delete your projects. Alternatively, upon the expiration of your subscription, these information that are stored as part of your online projects will be deleted permanently from the server within 6 months after your subscription has expired.

Teevers uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser.

Log File Information:  When you use the App Services, our servers automatically record certain information about your activities related to the usage of the App Services. These server logs may include information such as your username, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, software version and functions of the App Services you are using, date and time of your activity.

 

How Teevers Uses Information

If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the App Services, then we use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the App Services.

 

Specifically, the face data that are captured and stored for use with the camera effects function in the Apps are used only to map special camera effects onto your face in the recorded videos. The face data that are collected cannot be used to identify you and they are also not used in other ways and will not be shared with any third party.

 

Any personal information or video content, other than the face data, that you voluntarily disclose online may become available to others and can be collected and used by them. Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other Users when you upload videos or send comments through the App Services and other Users can contact you only through comments. Any video that you submit via the Apps will not be redistributed to any third party sites.

 

We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages.

 

We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the App Services and to create new features, promotions, functionalities, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.

 

We use cookies and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the App Services; (b) provide support in case of a technical problem; (c) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (d) provide usage data to teacher-users to help monitor their own student-users’ behavior.

 

When Teevers Discloses Information

We may provide personally identifiable information (name and email address) and non-personally-identifiable information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with our privacy policy, and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

 

We do not share your personally identifiable information (name or email address) with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use.

We do share usage data from personally-identifiable student-users with their own teacher-users for the purpose of monitoring the students’ activities to complete a given task, like homework for example.

 

We also do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, and/or functionality on the App Services.

 

We may release personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with Singapore law or respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.

 

Teevers also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that Teevers believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of our App Services, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Teevers, our Users or others.
