@chmars: As a user who is recently trying to understand Privacy Policies, can you please explain what is meant by "appropriate level" in there Privacy Policy:
The User agrees that such data may be processed in conjunction with third parties in Switzerland and other countries with an appropriate level of data and information privacy...
Also who is an example "third party".
I wish to know this since I am working on consumer application myself that would need very strict Privacy guidelines.
Anyone else may also answer, thanks.
- chmars 15y ago@brainless: I am only a user of connex.io, i.e., I cannot give you any authoritative answers. I assume that third parties include for example hosting providers and cloud services. 'Appropriate' is probably based on the relatively strict data privacy regulations in Switzerland.
- mkuhn 15y agobrainless, I am a Co-Founder of connex.io and as such have worked on our Privacy Policy. The shorter blue explanation on the side further explains what each clause is about. To sync your address book we have to work with third parties (e.g. Google for Gmail) but we cannot be responsible for their data privacy procedures. We take all the steps necessary to keep your data private (encryption in transfer and while resting) and only sync data to services that you specifically connected and therefore gave us permission to sync with. Basically we strongly believe that privacy is sacred when it comes to address book and our philosophy in this regard is: Your data is yours and yours alone. We only use the data you provide us with to provide you with the best possible address book. You can delete your data at any time and you can also export it in a standardized format (vCard).
- brainless 15y agoThanks @chmars and @mkuhn, that gives a much better picture.
