Last update: March 1, 2022

What does this privacy policy cover?

This policy covers the M&N Unit Converter, also referred to as:

  • app
  • application
  • service
  • Unit Converter
  • /b/dconv
  • dconv

This app was developed by Nelson Mimura Gonzalez, also referred to as:

  • we
  • us
  • our

We refer as “you”, “your”, to the individual, company, or other legal entity using our app.

What personal information do we collect?

Actively collected

We define as actively collected any data that you disclose to us while using our app or when you contact us.

Specifically, our app collects, by direct input from you, values in certain units of measurement to be converted to other units of measurement.

Passively collected

We define as passively collected any data that is automatically collected as part of third-party libraries and services used by our app.

Specifically, our app collects data from your device to provide features such as targeted advertising and improved user experience. By using our app you agree and consent with the collection of this data.

  • coarse location, such as your IP address
  • device identification, such as the device advertising identifier
  • usage data, such as product interaction and advertising data
  • diagnostics, such as crash data and performance data

How do we use your personal information?

Actively collected

The actively collected information is strictly used to convert values from one unit of measurement to another. We do not store nor process your actively collected data outside the device being used to access our services.

Passively collected

This informaton is used by third-party services such as Google AdMob, to deliver targeted ads to you, and Google Analytics, to gather usage information to improve our app. These are the relevant links to the privacy policies and other useful information on potential third-party services being used by our app:

From “behavioral policies”, under “AdMob & AdSense” program policies:

Google may use the advertising ID from the device on which the ad is serving to generate interests and demographics (for example, ‘sports enthusiasts’). Interests, demographics, and other data may be used to serve better targeted ads to the user. Additionally, your app’s privacy policy may need to be updated to reflect the use of personalized advertising (formerly known as interest-based advertising) served via the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Please take a moment to review your app’s privacy policies and ensure that they are up-to-date. Because publisher pages and laws vary across countries, we’re unable to suggest specific privacy policy language.

To complement personalized advertising (formerly known as interest-based advertising), Ads Settings lets users view and edit their interests and demographics. Some users may choose to opt out of personalized ads.

Your consent can then be reset, reconfigured, and revoked.

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Canada, you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability.

Your rights with respect to your personal data

  • Right to request deletion of the data — Request to delete. You can ask for the deletion of your personal information. If you ask us to delete your personal information, we will respect your request and delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions provided by law, such as (but not limited to) the exercise by another consumer of his or her right to free speech, our compliance requirements resulting from a legal obligation, or any processing that may be required to protect against illegal activities.

  • Right to be informed — Request to know. Depending on the circumstances, you have a right to know: whether we collect and use your personal information; the categories of personal information that we collect; the purposes for which the collected personal information is used; whether we sell your personal information to third parties; the categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose; the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose; and the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.

  • Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights.

  • Verification process. Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g., phone or email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate. We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. However, if we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.

  • Other privacy rights. You may object to the processing of your personal information. You may request correction of your personal data if it is incorrect or no longer relevant, or ask to restrict the processing of the information. You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with the CCPA. You may request to opt out from future selling of your personal information to third parties. Upon receiving an opt-out request, we will act upon the request as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of the request submission.
