This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by the app and may not apply to information we collect about you in different situations (such as through email correspondence). Please take a few moments to read this privacy policy.

3. Parental information

The app is not child safe and is not suitable for access nor use by children under the age of 13 (thirteen) years. Create With does not enable swearing filters nor can it pro-actively monitor users’ submissions on and to the app. Create With seeks to balance being a place for design, learning and socialising with supporting each user’s freedom of expression.

The app is not for children under the age of 13 (thirteen) years. We recommend parental consent for children under 13 (thirteen) years of age. Information and content on the app is not actively monitored. However, reported content is reviewed and removed upon further inspection if it does not meet our criteria for proper and/or appropriate content.

5. Information we collect

We collect information from you through your casual surfing of the app and your download of the app. We also capture information about your computer hardware and software. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. Information is also recorded on the number of downloads per sticker pack in the app.

Our servers will also automatically record such information to help understand how a user operates and performs on the app, to help improve and track components that are listed in the sections below. This information may be logged and referenced at a later time.

We will not be responsible for any damage that you or any third party may suffer as a result of the transmission of information that you make through our app, or that you expressly or implicitly authorise us to make, or for any errors or any changes made to any transmitted information.

We will be entitled to make it available any of the information we collect to reputable organizations for research and statistical purposes. In this regard, we will take all reasonable measures to ensure that any person receiving information is unable to link it back to you. You are welcome to request the names of such research organisations from us. We own and retain all rights to non-personal statistical information collected and compiled.

This privacy policy may be revised and updated at any time without prior notice. Please check it each time you access our website and/or app as your continued use constitutes acceptance of revisions and updates.

6. Security

We cannot guarantee the information we collect is completely secure. The internet and its ability to transmit data isn’t flawless, and there is no current method of guaranteeing complete security. However, we will do our best to protect and secure information by taking reasonable steps to identify all reasonably foreseeable risks to security; and establish and maintain appropriate safeguards against such risks.

7. When we might disclose information

As part of our regular business conduct, we may share information we collect with companies or individuals providing services or acting on our behalf, such as companies providing technological or fulfilment services.

In the event that there is a change of corporate ownership within Create With, the new owners will of course be provided with our files, including information collected. We will also share information with government officials, including law enforcement officials or court authorities, in order to cooperate with a legitimate investigation.
