Welcome to Demodeck, a service provided by Demodeck, Inc.

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, use, disclose and otherwise process your information when you use Demodeck.

Please take some time to read this Privacy Policy, along with our Terms of Service, in order to ensure you understand and are comfortable with our use and disclosure of your personal information. If you see an undefined term in this Privacy Policy, it has the same meaning given to it in our Terms of Use.

If you do not agree to any of the provisions of this Privacy Policy, you should not use our App. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at support@demodeck.com.

When this policy mentions “Demodeck,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the Demodeck entity that is responsible for your information under this Privacy Policy.

Demodeck is committed to putting its users first and believes you should know what data we collect about you, why we collect it, and how we use and share it. That’s why we’ve designed this Privacy Policy to give you simple, clear, and actionable information about our privacy and data protection practices.

The personal information we collect is related to providing the App and its features and falls into two general categories.

  • Information your provide to us
  • Information collected automatically

Information You Provide
We ask for and collect the below personal information when you use the App. This information is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract between you and us and to comply with our obligations thereunder.

We process this information in light of our legitimate interest in improving the App and giving our users the best experience, and where it is necessary for the adequate performance of any contract between us and you, including but not limited to the Terms of Use. Without it, we may not be able to provide you with all the requested services and features of the App.

To use Demodeck you will need to provide us with certain information:

  • Account Information - When you register a Demodeck account, you will need to provide your full name, your email address, your phone number, and choose a password.

  • Location Data – When you use certain features of the App, we may collect data about your general location. We use this data to understand where users are using our app from. Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable the use of location services for applications in the device’s settings.
  • Device Information – We collect information from and about the devices you use, including how you interact with the App and information about the device itself, such as the hardware model, operating system, and phone IDs.
