Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 2, 2025

Welcome to Dispo88! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our web application. Dispo88 is operated by a business registered in Quebec, Canada, and this policy complies with applicable privacy laws in Canada and the United States.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information when you use Dispo88:

  • Photos and Content: Photos you take or upload using Dispo88’s disposable camera feature, which are stored in shared albums.
  • Account Information: If you create an account, we may collect your email address or other identifiers you provide.
  • Usage Data: Basic interaction data, such as how you use the app (e.g., features accessed), and device information (e.g., IP address, browser type).
  • Session Cookies: We use session cookies (temporary identifiers stored on your device) to determine if you are logged in, based on a session ID. These cookies are essential for the service to function, expire when you log out or close your browser, and do not track you in a way that makes you uniquely identifiable beyond your current session.
  • Technical Logs: Information collected for troubleshooting and improving the service, such as error logs or crash reports.

We do not use persistent cookies or tracking technologies (e.g., for analytics or advertising) unless explicitly stated in future updates.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your data solely for the following purposes:

  • To provide and operate the Dispo88 service, including hosting and displaying your photos in shared albums and maintaining your login session via cookies.
  • To improve our services, such as fixing bugs or enhancing features based on usage patterns.
  • To communicate with you, such as responding to support requests or notifying you of service updates (see Section 8 for details).

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Currently, we do not offer opt-out functionality for data usage, including session cookies, as it is limited to providing the service.

3. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure, including encryption and secure servers. However, no system is completely secure, and Dispo88 does not guarantee indefinite storage or absolute security. Photos and other data may be deleted or become inaccessible due to technical limitations, user actions (e.g., account deletion), or other unforeseen issues. We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the service or until you delete your account, unless required by law to retain it longer. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

Your data may be stored or processed in Canada or other jurisdictions, subject to applicable data protection laws.

4. Third-Party Services

Dispo88 does not share your personal data with third-party services for their own use. We may use third-party providers (e.g., cloud hosting) to operate the service, but they are bound by confidentiality agreements and only process data on our behalf. Any third-party links or integrations within Dispo88 are clearly disclosed, and your use of them is at your own discretion and subject to their privacy policies.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under applicable privacy laws (e.g., PIPEDA in Canada, CCPA in California):

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Deletion: Request removal of your data by contacting us or deleting your account via the "My Account" page. Note that deleted photos cannot be recovered due to the disposable nature of our service.
  • Opt-Out: Currently, we do not use your data for purposes beyond service provision (e.g., marketing or analytics), and session cookies are essential for login functionality, so no opt-out is available. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide opt-out options.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframes required by law (e.g., 30 days under PIPEDA).

6. Cross-Border Data Transfers

As Dispo88 operates in the US and Canada and is registered in Quebec, your data may be transferred to, stored, or processed in Canada or other jurisdictions. We ensure these transfers comply with applicable data protection laws, including obtaining your consent where required.

7. Children’s Privacy

Dispo88 is not intended for children under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that we have collected such data, we will immediately delete it. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with information, please contact us at [email protected].

8. Email and Marketing Communications

We may send you service-related emails, such as responses to support requests or notifications regarding your account or service updates (which do not require separate consent). If we introduce promotional emails (e.g., about Premium membership or new features), we will obtain your prior consent as required under Canadian Anti-Spam Law (CASL) and CAN-SPAM Act in the US. You can opt-out of promotional emails at any time via a link in each message. Our emails will include our business name and contact details as required by law.

9. Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk of harm to you, we will notify you and the relevant authorities within the timeframes required by applicable laws (e.g., PIPEDA, Quebec Bill 25).

10. Business Transfers

If Dispo88 is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred to the new entity. We will notify you of such a transfer and any changes to how your data is handled.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you of any significant changes via email or through an announcement on our website. Your continued use of Dispo88 after posting any updates constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
