If we can’t guard your privacy as a Maslo user, we shouldn’t exist. Our users’ privacy is everything to us, and it shapes the way we plan our business, design our technology’s architecture, and build our products. At Maslo, we don’t view “privacy” as an obstacle we must work around, but rather a standard that guides our moral compass.

As of May 2018, these are the commitments we are making publicly:

• We will never make money selling your data.
• You will always own your data.

Below is our privacy policy. We strive to communicate our privacy policy using as clear language as possible, from the information we collect to the controls you have as a user. Please ask us questions if something doesn’t make sense. Reach out anytime at sayhi@maslo.ai.

maslo inc. privacy policy

Last Updated: May 17, 2018

Maslo Inc. (“We” or ”Company”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy describes how we collect, store, use, and distribute information through Maslo (the “App”).

consent

By using the App, you consent to the use of your information as described in this privacy policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time by drafting an email to sayhi@maslo.ai . However, withdrawing your consent may result in your inability to continue using some or all of the features of the App.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not download or use the App. By using this App, you agree to this privacy policy.

1. information we collect.

scope

This policy applies to information we collect in the App and in email, text, and other electronic communications sent through or collected in connection with
the App.

there are three basic categories of information
we collect:

• Information you give us.
• Information obtained automatically from your use of our service.
• Information obtained from third parties.

Here’s a little more detail on each of these categories.

a. information you give us.

The primary purpose of the App is to allow you to journal your life in a new, fun, and interactive way. We are utilizing machine learning algorithms to allow you to use your device in a new way that you may never have thought possible. At any point in the day, you can record a 60 second audio clip through the App. We plan to aggregate those 60 second recordings to analyze your emotional and mood indicators by using speech recognition, facial recognition, sentiment, translation, background audio that collects your life on the go. You will be able to look back on your life, day by day, through the lens of a 60 second window.

When registering to use the App and creating an account (“Maslo Account”), we may also ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, email address, social media username and profiles, and user name and password (“Contact Information”). Your Contact Information, together with any other information we gather through the App that may be used to identify, contact, or locate you individually, is collectively referred to as your “Personal Information.”

You can also link your Maslo Account to your social media accounts when using the services. By linking your Malso Account with your accounts on social media, you are allowing us to access your information from that site. The information that we collect from your social media accounts may depend on the privacy settings you have with that network. Therefore, you may be able to control the information that we collect from your social media accounts by adjusting your privacy settings on that third-party service. You can also de-link your social media accounts from the App at any time via your Maslo Account settings.

in summary, we may ask personal Information from you, such as your:

• Name;
• Email address;
• Login information (username/password);
• Social media accounts you identify with other third-party services.

You can always refuse to supply personal identification information we request, except that it may prevent you from accessing the service or engaging in certain service related activities.

b. information obtained from your use of our service.

We may collect non-personally identifiable information in connection with your use of our service.

here are some types of information we collect automatically:

• Analytics. When you use our App, we automatically track and collect the following categories of information: (1) your Internet protocol address and domain server address; (2) the date and time of your use of our App; (3) the type of device and system you used to access the App; (4) the links that you accessed during your use of the App; (4) the general geolocation of your device; (5) time and date stamps, (6) local weather and (6) other non-personally identifiable information (collectively, “Traffic Data”). We use Traffic Data to evaluate and improve the content of the App and to make the App more useful for our users. We also use such information for testing and debugging purposes.
• Biometric Information. Certain features of the App may actively record biometric information about yourself as you use our service. This information includes recording your voice, haptic feedback, and anything else that has to do with your physical body and health.
• Usage Information. Such as how you interact with the services and other users, how you communicate with the App including sentiment, translation, speech recognition, face recognition, and background audio. Since our app is paired to your microphone and all audio that comes through is personal biometric information, see our “Biometric Information” section for more on this.
• Cookies. Like most app providers, we use cookies and other technologies to track, customize and enhance your user experience. Cookies saved on your mobile device are used for record-keeping purposes, to better understand how you use the service and to allow us to make improvements to the service. You may choose to set your device to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, some parts of the service may not function properly.

c. information obtained from third parties.

When you use the App or its content, certain third parties may use automatic information collection technologies to collect information about you or your device. These third-party apps may include Amazon Alexa, Google Home or other IP enabled devices.

These third parties may use tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use this app. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, and other online services websites.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

2. uses of information collected.

We may collect and use user’s personal information for the following reasons:

• To improve our machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence models.
