This privacy statement describes how The Jed Mahonis Group collects and uses the personal information you provide through the Half Staff App. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information.

When you enable push notifications on the app, we send the following information to our server for storage:

As is true of most Web sites, our system automatically gathers information about your computer such as your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system. This information is stored on our servers in logs, and logs are automatically removed after 7 days.

Our mobile app also uses Fabric to monitor crashes and provide anonymized usage reports. You may opt out of this collection by viewing the Settings section of the app.

We will only share your information with third parties in the ways that are described in this privacy statement.

We may disclose your personal information:

Tracking and Ads

We use Google Analytics on our webpage to gather information about how you and others interact with our Web site. For example, we will know how many users access a specific areas or features within our site and which links or ads they clicked on. We use this aggregated information to understand and optimize how our site is used, improve our marketing efforts, and provide content and features that are of interest to you. We do not knowingly store personal information, and we currently do not offer a way for you to opt out of this tracking. You do not need to use the Half Staff App website in order to use the mobile app.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. Versions of the app prior to 1.2 did not use HTTPS encryption to transmit data. However, beginning in version 1.2, we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can contact us at support@halfstaffapp.com. We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services.

Accessing, changing, or deleting your information

You may access or change your information or delete your account from inside the Half Staff App.

To delete your information from our system, simply turn off push notifications. We will automatically delete your information 24 hours following the next push notification event (e.g. when the next half staff notification is sent to everybody).

Deleted information may be kept in backups for up to 90 days. Backups are encrypted and are only accessed if needed for disaster recovery.

California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

We comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. We therefore will not distribute your personal information to outside parties without your consent.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

We never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
