Updated 14/09/2021

 

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Fyous. (“Itch Innovation UK Limited”, “we,” or “us”) and our web site located at http://fyous.com (the “Site”), as well as all related web sites, mobile applications (each an “App”) and other services provided by us and on which a link to this Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) is displayed (collectively, together with the Site and the Apps, our “Service”).

 

This Policy describes the information that we gather from you on the Service, how we use and disclose such information, and the steps we take to protect such information. By using the Service, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Policy.

 

1. The information we collect on the Service:

User-provided Information. When you use the Service, you may provide and we may collect what is generally called “personally identifiable” information, or “personal information,” which is information that specifically identifies an individual. Examples of personal information include name, email address, mailing address, mobile phone number, and credit card or other billing information. Personal information also includes other information, such as date of birth, geographic area, or preferences, when any such information is linked to information that identifies a specific individual. You may provide us with personal information in various ways on the Service. For example, you provide us with personal information when you register for an account, use the Service, post User Content, make a purchase on the Service, interact with other users of the Service through communication or messaging features, or send us customer service-related requests.

 

“Cookies” Information. When you use the Site, we may send one or more cookies – small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your device. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Site. Please review your web browser “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete, or choose not to accept, cookies from the Service, you may not be able to utilize the features of the Service to their fullest potential.

 

“Automatically Collected” Information. When you use the Service, we may automatically record certain information from your device by using various types of technology, including “clear gifs” or “web beacons.” This “automatically collected” information may include your IP address or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages, or sites that you visit just before or just after you use the Service, the pages or other content you view or otherwise interact with on the Service, and the dates and times that you visit, access, or use the Service. We also may use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message. This information is gathered from all users.

 

Third Party Web Beacons. We may also implement third-party content or advertising on the Site that may use clear gifs or other forms of web beacons, which allow the third-party content provider to read and write cookies to your browser in connection with your viewing of the third-party content on the Site. Information collected through web beacons is collected directly by these third parties, and Itch Innovation UK Limited does not participate in that data transmission. Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.

 

Integrated Services. You may be given the option to access or register for the Service using your username and passwords for certain services provided by third parties (each, an “Integrated Service”), such as using your online banking credentials, or otherwise have the option to authorize an Integrated Service to provide personal information or other information to us. By authorizing us to connect with an Integrated Service, you authorize us to access and store your name, email address(es), date of birth, gender, current city, account numbers and any other information that the Integrated Service makes available to us, and to use and disclose it in accordance with this Policy. You should check your privacy settings on each Integrated Service to understand and change the information sent to us through each Integrated Service. Please review each Integrated Service’s terms of use and privacy policies carefully before using their services and connecting to our Service.

 

Location Information. Itch Innovation UK Limited may offer certain features as part of the Service in whole or in part based on your location, such as to locate the mobile device on which you have installed or downloaded an App. You will be given the opportunity to opt-in to location-based services, normally through an opt-in screen on the App. If you choose to enable location-based services, we may collect your location based on information provided by you or the mobile device, including, if available, GPS, IP address or cell tower information. If you do not opt-in to or choose to disable location-based services, you may not be able to utilize certain features of the Service.

 

Information from Other Sources. We may obtain information, including personal information, from third parties and sources other than the Service, such as our partners, advertisers, and Integrated Services. If we combine or associate information from other sources with personal information that we collect through the Service, we will treat the combined information as personal information in accordance with this Policy.

For the Itch Innovation UK Limited Capture App: We use the Camera API and the TrueDepth camera to collect depth and colour data and generate 3D scans (“Scan Data”). The Capture App does not use any Face Data, as that term is defined in Apple Developer Program License (“Face Data” means information related to human faces (e.g., face mesh data, facial map data, face modelling data, facial coordinates, or facial landmark data, including data from an uploaded photo). Scan Data is not shared with third parties. Scan Data is stored locally on the device within the app’s container. Additionally, if you create an account and sign in, Scan Data is synced using encryption to Itch Innovation UK Limited’s secure cloud platform, where you can log in and download scans. Subsequent dissemination or sharing of those 3D scans or Scan Data from the app or our cloud platform is exclusively in your control Face Data For the Itch Innovation UK Limited 3D Face Demo App: You may choose to use the 3D Face Demo App to record scans or images of your face (“Face Data”), but note that you are not required to do so in order to use the 3D Face Demo App (or any other part of the Services).

If we learn of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may post a notice through the Service if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.
