data sharing
“Data sharing” here means sharing selected data with a third-party company regardless of whether the user device is turned on or off.
Exceptions are permitted for some of the situations below.
- When DFINERY delivers data to the app developer according to the app developer's data request.
- When the data is passed on for legal purposes. (ex. government request for data provision)
- When passing data to end users in accordance with the app terms and conditions.
- Anonymous data sharing.
As a service provider, DFIENRY shares data only at the request, selection, and settings of the app developer. If you provide data to a third party for app marketing (e.g., extracting and sharing audience data for media postback settings, targeting, and retargeting), this is considered data sharing.
Data batch processing
“Temporary processing of data” here means temporarily processing collected data without storing it in memory. Data collected from DFINERY SDK is basically transmitted in real time, but is stored depending on the user's network situation and transmitted when the network is reactivated.
your choice
This means whether end users have choices about how their data can be used and shared. DFINERY SDK provides a GDPR API to allow users to refuse data collection.
