Privacy
Our Policy
- Introduction
Phd Apps LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of users of our software products (“Software”), mobile applications (“Apps”) and other services (“Services”) (collectively, our “Products”). This General Privacy Policy outlines our overall principles and practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you interact with our Products.
Please note: This is a general policy describing our company’s overall approach to privacy. Specific Products developed by us will have their own dedicated Privacy Policies or supplementary notices that provide detailed information about the data collected and processed by that particular Product. We encourage you to review the specific Privacy Policy associated with any Product you use.
By using any of our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with the principles outlined in this policy and the specific terms of any applicable Product’s privacy policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our Products.

- Information We May Collect Across Our Products
The types of information we collect depend on the specific Product you use. Generally, across our portfolio of Software, Apps, and Services, we may collect the following categories of information:
- Information You Provide Voluntarily: This may include personal identification information (like name, email address, phone number, username, password) when you register an account, contact support, participate in surveys or promotions, or otherwise directly interact with our Products.
- Information Collected Automatically (Usage & Device Data): When you use our Products, we may automatically collect information about your device and how you interact with the Product. This can include device type, operating system, device identifiers (like IDFA or Android Advertising ID), IP address, general location inferred from IP address, app usage patterns (features used, time spent), crash reports, and performance data. This information is often used in aggregated or anonymized form.
- Location Information: Some specific Products may request permission to access your device’s precise or approximate location data to provide location-based features. Collection details (e.g., when it’s collected, why) and your control options will be specified in the relevant Product’s privacy policy. You can typically manage location permissions in your device settings.
- Information from Third-Party Products: If a Product allows login via third-party platforms (e.g., Google, Facebook, Apple), we may receive information from those platforms as permitted by your privacy settings with them. Details will be in the specific Product’s policy.
- Other Information: Depending on the specific Product’s functionality, we might request access to other device features (like camera, contacts, storage) or collect other types of data (e.g., payment information for purchases, health data for wellness apps). Collection of sensitive data or access to device features will always be detailed in the specific Product’s privacy policy, often requiring your explicit consent.
- How We Generally Use Information
We use the information collected across our Products for purposes such as:
- Providing, operating, maintaining, and improving our Products.
- Developing new products, features, and services.
- Understanding user behavior and trends to enhance user experience.
- Personalizing your experience within specific Products (where applicable and detailed in the Product’s policy).
- Communicating with you (e.g., responding to support requests, sending service updates, or marketing messages where permitted and with opt-out options).
- Processing transactions (if applicable).
- Ensuring security, preventing fraud, and enforcing our terms.
- Complying with legal and regulatory obligations.
- Performing analytics and measuring performance.
- How We Generally Share Information
We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, we may share information under certain circumstances, typically including:
- With Service Providers: We engage third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, data analytics, customer support, payment processing, marketing assistance). These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their tasks and are obligated to protect it.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice if your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
- With Affiliates: We may share information within our corporate group (parent company, subsidiaries) who are required to adhere to this policy’s principles.
- With Advertising Partners: Some Products may integrate third-party advertising networks that collect device/usage data to serve ads. Details regarding data sharing for advertising and user controls (like opting out of personalized ads via device settings) will be found in the specific Product’s privacy policy.
- With Your Consent: We may share information for other purposes if we have your explicit consent.
- Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized data, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for various purposes like industry analysis or reporting.
- Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
- Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy and the specific Product policies, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., for legal, tax, or accounting requirements). When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your information, we will either delete or anonymize it.
- Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., EU/EEA under GDPR, California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, object to processing, or request data portability.
To exercise any rights relevant to a specific Product, please refer to the contact information and procedures outlined in that Product’s privacy policy. For general inquiries about our company’s practices or if you are unsure where to direct your request, you can contact us using the details in Section 1. We will respond according to applicable law, potentially after verifying your identity.
- Children’s Privacy
Our Products are generally not intended for children under the age of 13 unless specifically marked as such. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age without parental consent. If a Product is specifically designed for children, it will have its own privacy policy fully compliant with applicable children’s privacy laws (such as COPPA in the US). If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child below the relevant age threshold, please contact us immediately using the information in Section 1.
- International Data Transfers
We operate globally, and your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ. We take steps to ensure that data transfers comply with applicable laws and that your information remains protected, for example, through the use of Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms where required. Specific details relevant to a Product may be included in its policy.
- Third-Party Links & Services
Our Products may contain links to third-party websites or services not operated by us. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.
- Changes to This General Privacy Policy
We may update this General Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or relevant laws. We will post any changes on this page (or an equivalent location on our company website) and update the “Last Updated” date. For significant changes impacting specific Products, notification may also occur within those Products. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
