Privacy policy

Last updated: September 27, 2020

MorseKeyer is a commercial app built by Yuri Wolf (individual developer). The app itself does not collect any personal data in order to function as intended. However, you may provide me with information by contacting me through the app, via email, by visiting this website, etc. I respect your privacy regarding any information collected from you or which you may provide in the circumstances outlined below.

This Privacy Policy explains when, why and how I collect, use and protect the data you provide to me when you use the MorseKeyer app (the “App”) or visit the morsekeyer.com website (the “Site”), and my related online and offline offerings (collectively, the “Services”).

1. Information collection

Personal information provided by you

I may collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to me in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to:

  • when you contact me through the “Report a problem” section of the App;
  • when you contact me filling out a form on the Site;
  • when you subscribe to the newsletter.

In these cases, you will be asked to enter your name and email address for further communication with you. You may also provide me with such information by contacting me via email.

When you contact me, your message may contain other personal and non-personal information. I may keep my correspondence with you to communicate with you in relation to your enquiries.

This information can be removed upon your request.

Automatically collected data

This Site may automatically collect non-personal information about visitors when they interact with the Site:

  • Log data: This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, details about your browser, operating system or device, means of connection to the Site, and other non-identifying information.

Problem reports

If you report a problem from inside the App, then in addition to your verbal description of the problem, I automatically get the following information that may be useful for troubleshooting:

  • the App version;
  • the App installation ID;
  • your device’s operating system version.

Users’ texts

Saving the texts of your Morse code transmissions is an integral part of the App’s functionality. The App keeps the current text on the screen, storing it between launches on your device.

Inside the App, you can delete this text permanently or save it for future use on your device as a text file. These texts are stored on your device, so they are private unless you share them.

Cookies

A “cookie” is a piece of information sent to your browser by a website you visit. The browser stores cookies on your device. In general, cookies are used to retain your preferences or provide anonymised tracking data to third party applications like Google Analytics.

This Site may use cookies to enhance user experience and to use analytical tools. However, you may choose to set your browser to block all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

Google Analytics

I use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use this Site. This information includes how often the Site is visited, what pages users visit and how long they stay on each page, what links they followed to get to the Site, etc.

I use information from Google Analytics to better understand how I can improve the Site and my Services, as well as to improve my marketing campaigns.

3. Sharing and disclosure

I may share your information with certain third parties in the following circumstances.

Service providers: I may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who provides services for me or on my behalf and require access to such information to perform their functions, such as hosting this Site or sending email messages. They may have access to personal information, such as email addresses, but are contractually restricted from using such information for purposes other than providing services for me or on my behalf. Each such service provider is expected to use reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information involved in order to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

4. Security

I take reasonable administrative and technical steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Sensitive and private data exchange between the Site and its users happens over a SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. Therefore, while I strive to protect your data, I cannot guarantee its absolute security.
