1. Who are you and what is this Privacy Policy about?

A2 Apps Inc  is a US digital media company. 

We know that you care about how your Personal Information is used and shared and we care about that too.

From the 25th May 2018, new European data protection laws known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect. It is a comprehensive European data protection law that provides greater data rights for individuals which benefits all our users. Our Privacy Policy tells you how we look after, use and share the Personal Information that we collect from you and also how you can manage your consent; as well as action your rights. Please read this carefully. Unless we tell you or you agree, we do not share your Personal Information with anyone.

When you use any of our Services, you are agreeing to our Privacy Policy, but using the tools laid out in this policy you can manage your consent at any time. In terms of responsibility, A2 Apps Ltd is the ‘Data controller’.

2. How do you protect my Personal Information?

We are serious about guarding the security of your Personal Information and use a secure server to store your Personal Information. However, like everyone else, we cannot guarantee complete security. We use industry-standard organisational and technical security measures to protect your data against unauthorised disclosure or processing.

Where you are required to choose a password for your account, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential. This means you should limit access to your computer or device and sign off after you have finished accessing your account. If you think someone has access to your password or unauthorised access to your account, please inform us immediately at a2.apps23@gmail.com

We are not responsible for the misuse of your account or information where you have not kept your password confidential or not reported a breach of security.
