Data and Privacy Policy
Your Privacy
Your privacy and data security are important to us. This Policy describes how ORT Software collects and uses information about you when you contact us, or use our programs or online services.
Advertising
Some of our programs display ads, supplied by third-party businesses. There are two types of ad:
- personalised ads - these use device or user identifiers to serve ads relevant to your specific interests, based on previously collected data, such as your search queries and web history.
- non-personalised ads - these are selected on the basis of contextual information, such as your general (typically city-level) location, and the content of the app, rather than your past behaviour.
All users can switch between ad types at any time via the app's OPTIONS menu, or you can avoid ads altogether by using the paid-for version of the app.
Note: users with ad-personalization blocked at an account level (e.g. due to their Google account settings or regional restrictions) will only ever be served non-personalised ads, regardless of which type is selected in the app's OPTIONS menu.
ORT Software never has access to any personal information held by the advertising network:
- Google Admob - Privacy Policy
Purchases
All our customer orders are handled by third-party payment processors. Some of these payment processors may provide ORT Software with limited personal information (name, email address, etc) to allow us to identify and support our customers. However, ORT Software never has access to any of your banking details.
The payment processors we currently work with are:
- Google Play for our Android apps - Privacy Policy
- Digital River/Share-it for our Windows programs - Privacy Policy
Data access
Our games only access files and data on your devices that are directly essential to the operation of the program. For your reassurance, our Android programs only require the bare minimum of app permissions, as can be verified in your Android settings.
Internet
Interactions with websites and other online services typically involve the transmission of your IP (Internet Protocol) address and some basic details about your device (e.g. browser and operating system). In common with almost all companies operating on the internet, ORT Software may log such details in order to improve performance and detect any misuse.
Third-party links
ORT Software is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites and programs belonging to third-parties, even if you access them using links or advertisements in our own programs or website.
Correspondence
When we receive correspondence (e.g. enquiries, suggestions or complaints) via email or other means, we may file the details for future reference and support. Any personal information, such as names and contact addresses, will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.
Accessing your information
You have the right to request a copy of any personal data that ORT Software holds about you and to request its correction or deletion. You can exercise this right free of charge, once per year, by sending a signed written request to ORT Software.
Changes
ORT Software may update its Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
