Information Collected via the App

Depending on your device, our application may request certain permissions that allow it to access certain parts of your device including your device data. By default, you must grant these permissions before the respective device information can be accessed by our application. Once the permission has been given, you can revoke it at any time, and it is your responsibility to adjust the settings in accordance with your preferences. In order to revoke these permissions, you may refer to the device settings or application settings. The exact procedure for modifying such permissions may depend on your device and software aswell as particular version of that software. Please note that the revoking of such permissions might impact the proper functioning of the application. If you grant any of the permissions listed below, your information may be collected by the application, however, that information will not be shared with any third parties without your permission or explicit action within the application:

  • Camera: This permission is required to allow the application to use your camera when taking pictures or video from within the application. The application will open your camera application so that you can take the picture to add to a memo. Your camera cannot be accessed once you have signed out of the application.
  • Microphone: Similar to the camera permission, the microphone permission is requested so that the application can record audio during a video recording or as part of a standalone audio recording. Your microphone cannot be accessed once you have signed out of the application.
  • Storage: The application may request access to your device’s storage so that it can access the images, audio recordings, and videos taken from within the application and delete them once uploaded to our server. There may also an option to upload images from your device instead of having to take the picture from within the application itself. This permission gives us the ability to access those images.
