  1. The Basics

About this Privacy Policy 

PlanB Labs OÜ (Drops) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users, and be transparent about how we process information about you. This Privacy Policy describes how we process your Personal Information and how you can exercise your privacy rights.

About us

Drops is an educational technology and software-as-a-service company providing a language learning platform for the global educational technology market. We focus on combining beautifully designed word games with mnemonic associations to provide short, engaging games which make language learning a fun part of your daily routine and not a chore. While fun and simple, the beautifully designed app is built with years of research into how to help you learn a language more effectively and easily. For those interested in learning to write character-based languages or languages with a different writing system, we developed a companion app, Scripts. We also offer a companion app to support kids learning languages--Droplets.

More information about our services and how you can use them can be found in our T&Cs and on our webpage.

This information may include:

  • Contact details such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, profile image.
  • Account log-in credentials such as your email address or username when you sign up for an account with us;
  • Account holder information such as your location, interest in learning the language and skill level.

This may include contact or authentication data, the content of your chats and other communications with us, and the product or service you are using related to your help inquiry.

  • Usage data which is collected whenever you interact with our Service. This may include the dates and times you access the Services and your browsing activities (such as what portions of the Service you used). We also collect information regarding the performance of the Services, including metrics related to the deliverability of emails and other communications you send through the Service. If you are using our App, we may collect information about how often you use the App and other performance data. This information allows us to improve the content and operation of the Service and facilitate research and analysis of the Service.
  • Log data whereby our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers and the nature of each access, including originating IP-addresses and your activity in the Services (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, results, pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take (for example, which features you used)).
  • Cookies which allow us to collect information such as browser type and other anonymous traffic data. Please see our cookie policy for more information on our use of cookies.
  • Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used in connection with some Services to, among other things, track the actions of our Users, measure the success of marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the Services and response rates.
  • Analytics, meaning the use of third-party analytic services, which use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Services and report on activities and trends. 

Information we collect from other sources: From time to time, we may collect Personal Information about you from other sources, such as our Partners, integrations or other third parties, for example where you have given permission to the third party to share your information with us.

3. Use of Personal Information

We may use your Personal Information which we collect for the purposes and on the legal bases identified below:

  • Provide the Services. This means using your Personal Information in order to provide the Services’ functionality to you, such as arranging access to an account, responding to your inquiries. We engage in these activities to manage our contractual relationship with you and/or to comply with a legal obligation.

  • Communicate with you. We may need to communicate with you about your account and provide you with customer support to perform our contract with you for the use of the Service or where we have not entered into a contract with you, in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering and supporting our Services. For example, if you use our App, we may ask you if you want to receive push notifications about activity in your account. If you have opted in on these push notifications and no longer want to receive them, you may turn them off through your operating system. We may also send you system alert messages in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering the Services and providing certain features. For example, we may inform you about temporary or permanent changes to our Service, such as planned outages, security or compliance notifications, information about new features, version updates, releases, abuse warnings, and changes to this Privacy Policy.

  • Support and improve the Service. Your Personal Information may be used to provide, support and improve the Services in order to perform our contract with you for the use of the Service or where we have not entered into a contract with you, in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering and improving the Service and providing certain features. For example, this may include sharing your information with third parties in order to provide and support our Service or to make certain features of the Service available to you. When we share your Personal Information with third parties, we take steps to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with our obligations under applicable privacy laws. For further information about how we share your information, refer to the “Personal Information Disclosure” section below.

  • Comply with legal obligations. We may use your Personal Information in order to comply with requests by public authorities, court orders, valid discovery requests, valid subpoenas, and other appropriate legal mechanisms. This includes Personal Information necessary to provide information to representatives and advisors, including attorneys and accountants, to help us comply with legal, accounting, or security requirements in reliance on our legitimate interests, and Personal Information necessary to prosecute and defend a court, arbitration, or similar legal proceeding.

  • Data analytics. Your Personal Information may be used to perform data analytics in reliance on our legitimate business interests in improving and enhancing our products and services for our Users. For example, we use analytics data to enable product recommendation, audience segmentation, and predicted demographics features for our Users.

  • Marketing. We may use your Personal Information to serve you marketing information, product recommendations and non-transactional communications (such as email or push notifications) about us, in accordance with your marketing preferences and this Privacy Policy. We will not send you unsolicited written marketing.

  • Allowing you to participate in sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions. We may offer you the opportunity to participate in sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions. Some of these activities have additional rules, which could contain additional information about how we use and disclose your Personal Information. Participation in these activities is fully optional, and subject to separate `just in-time´ notice as required. We engage in these activities to manage our contractual relationship with you.

  • Aggregated and anonymized data. User’s Personal Information may be used to combine and anonymize data about our Users and our User’s use of the Service in order to create aggregate, anonymized statistics which we may use to provide certain features within the Service and for promoting and improving the Service in reliance on our legitimate interests.

We do not sell Personal Information, and we do not send third party marketing to our users. For purposes of CCPA, and for the purposes of section 12 below, ´sale´ means the disclosure of Personal Information for monetary or other valuable consideration but does not include, for example, the transfer of Personal Information as an asset that is part of a merger, bankruptcy, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business.

4. Third-Party Integrations

We may use the Personal Information we collect or receive through the Service, as a processor and as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, to enable your use of the integrations and plugins you choose to connect to your Drops account. The Services and Websites include social media features, such as social media plug-ins with Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. These features may collect information about your IP-address and which page you are visiting on our Websites, and they may set a cookie to make sure the feature functions properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Website. 

We also maintain presences on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Any information, communications, or materials you submit to us via a social media platform is done at your own risk without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of other users of these platforms or the actions of the platforms themselves. Your interactions with those features and platforms are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.

5. Third-Party websites

The Websites include links to other websites, whose privacy practices may be different from ours. If you submit Personal Information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or service to which the Services link. The inclusion of a link on the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.

In addition, we are not responsible for the information collection, use, disclosure or security policies or practices of other organizations, such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Apple, Google, Microsoft, or any other app developer, app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider or device manufacturer, including with respect to any Personal Information you disclose to these or other organizations.

Depending on the country in which you reside, you may have one or all of the following data protection rights:

  • Access. You have the right to know which of your Personal Information we process.

  • Right to withdraw your consent. If Personal Information is collected or processed on the basis of consent, or if you have, for example, consented to receiving marketing emails from Drops, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your Personal Information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Please note that the above rights may be subject to exceptions and limitations. We cannot, for example, provide personal data if it would violate our duty of confidentiality or if we have a legal obligation to retain such data.

Exercise your rights.

If you wish to exercise any of the other privacy rights that apply to you, you can do this by reaching out to us on support@languagedrops.com. If we receive an email from you, we may ask you to verify your identity to comply with applicable law, and in order to help us respond efficiently to your request.

7. Personal Information Disclosure

Personal Information disclosure by Drops:

We do not share your Personal Information with third parties outside of Drops except in the following limited circumstances:

  • Affiliates. We may share and disclose your Personal Information with the parent company in the Kahoot Group, for our legitimate business purposes or to provide services that may include one or more of Kahoot Group Companies.
  • Service providers. Sometimes, we share your information with our third-party service providers working on our behalf for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. For example, companies we’ve hired to help us provide and support our Service or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services and other business-related functions. Other examples include analyzing data, hosting data, engaging technical support for our Service, processing payments, and delivering content.
  • Advertising partners: Drops may cooperate with third party advertising platforms and social media channels to promote our Services, both on our Websites and third-party websites. To this effect, we may share limited Personal Information of our Users to achieve this purpose. For example, we and our third-party advertising partners may use cookies, pixels and web beacons and similar technologies to gather information about your activities on the Website and other websites to provide you with advertising based on your browser activities and interests. For further information, please see our Cookie Policy.
  • Public institution(s). Any competent law enforcement body, regulatory body, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (a) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (b) to exercise, establish, or defend our legal rights, or (c) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person.
  • A potential buyer (and its agents and advisors) in the case of a sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, reorganization, or acquisition. In that event, any acquirer will be subject to our obligations under this Privacy Policy, including your rights to access and choice. We will notify you of the change either by sending you an email or posting a notice on our Website.
  • Any other person with your consent.

We may also share anonymized, aggregated information with selected third parties for statistical purposes. Where we use any third parties to provide services on our behalf, and such third parties process your Personal Information, we enter into data processing agreements to ensure that such third parties comply with high levels of confidentiality and best practices with regards to privacy and data security standards. We regularly review these standard and practices and maintain a list of all sub-processors used for the services covered by this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information disclosure by you

Drops contain social features which enable a User to invite his/her friends & family to join the User on Drops. By inviting others to Drops, your User profile becomes visible to those that are invited. This means that some of your Personal Data, such as name and picture (as applicable), becomes visible for the invitees. 

In order to invite others to Drops, a unique URL-link is generated for the User. As this link is unique to the User, the link may be shared by the invitee with other individuals. Unsolicited invitations using other Users URL-link may be in breach of our T&Cs and Drops reserve the right to take appropriate action if becoming aware of such unsolicited invitations. We therefore strongly advise you to only forward other User's unique URL-link with the User's prior consent.

8. Children

We only collect limited Personal Information about Children directly from the parent or guardian who has downloaded the Droplets app. It automatically collects information about the device and usage while a Child is using the Droplets app. For further information, please see subsection titled "Droplets" below. 

At all times we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from Children other than stated above. If you have reason to believe that a Child has provided Personal Data through the Services please contact us at support@languagedrops.com and we will endeavour to delete that information from our databases. 

Droplets

A Child can use the Droplets app without sign-in and we do not ask personal information directly from Children. We do collect some data automatically while a Child is using the Droplets app, which includes the following:

Device information: Includes the type of device a Child is using, operating system, settings, unique device identifiers, network information and other device-specific information. Information collected may depend on the type of device a Child is using and its settings.

 

Usage Information: We collect information about how a Child uses the Droplets app, such as the types of content that the Child views or engages with, the features used, the actions taken, frequency and duration of Child’s activities.

Automatically collected information about device and usage is used as a statistical measure in order to improve our Services, and not in a manner that would personally identify you or your Child. 

Some information and actions in the Droplets App are put behind a Parent Area and are meant to be used by a parent or guardian. The Parent Area can be used without sign-in but in order to set up Child’s profile a sign-in by parent or guardian is necessary. For further information about the collection and usage of personal information of a parent or guardian when signed in, please see our general privacy rules in this policy. 

In the Parent Area a parent or guardian can set up Kid profiles to store Child’s learning progress. When setting up a Kid profile we ask for Child’s first name but this information is not stored or used to identify your Child personally. 

9. Our Security

We take appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Information. If you have any questions about the security of your Personal Information, you may contact us at support@languagedrops.com

Drops accounts require a username and password to log in. Users must keep their username and password secure, and never disclose it to a third party. Because the information in a User’s Drops account is private, account passwords are hashed, which means we cannot see a User’s password. We cannot resend forgotten passwords either. We will only provide Users with instructions on how to reset them.

10. International Transfers

We collect information globally and may transfer, process and store your information outside of your country of residence, to wherever we or our third-party service providers operate for the purpose of providing you the Services. This may involve countries where the data protection, privacy rights and other laws may not be as comprehensive as in your country. Whenever we transfer your information, we take steps, including preventive measures, to make sure your data is always safe.

For all international transfers, both within the Kahoot Group or to our sub-processors, we ensure that the recipient of your Personal Information offers an adequate level of protection by entering into appropriate back-to-back agreements with our sub-processors. All international transfers are made on the basis of the EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”).

Drops maintains strict organizational and technical measures to protect Personal Information stored on our, and our trusted third parties’, servers. Access to any Personal Information we process in order to provision the Services is limited through login credentials, multi-factor authentication, access on a need-to-know basis and restricted access to administrative accounts for the employees who require access in order to perform their duties towards you, such as providing support services.

11. Retention of Data

We never retain Personal Information longer than necessary for the purposes for which Personal Information were collected. We retain Personal Information where we have an ongoing legitimate business or legal obligation to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, we'll refer to these criteria in order to determine retention period:

 

·   Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data;

·   Whether the data is necessary to provide our Service;

·   Whether our Users would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their Drops accounts are closed or terminated.

 

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

12. Do not Track

Certain US state laws require us to indicate whether we honor “Do Not Track” settings in your browser. Drops adheres to the standards set out in this Privacy Policy and does not monitor or follow any Do Not Track browser requests.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time. The most recent version of the Privacy Policy is reflected by the version date located at the top of this Privacy Policy. All updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of this Privacy Policy or other notice on the Websites. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy often to stay informed of changes that may affect you.

14. Questions & Concerns

为了邀请他人加入Drops,系统会为用户生成一个唯一的URL链接。由于这个链接对于用户而言是唯一的,因此受邀请者可能会与其他人共享该链接。未经同意而使用其他用户的URL链接进行邀请可能会违反我们的条款和条件。如果发现此类未经许可的邀请,Drops保留采取适当行动的权利。因此,我们强烈建议你仅在用户事先同意的情况下转发其他用户的唯一URL链接。

Drops采取严格的组织和技术措施来保护存储在我们和我们信任的第三方服务器上的个人信息。任何为提供服务而需处理个人信息的访问都仅限于:通过登录凭证、多因素认证、在需要了解的基础上的访问以及为履行对你的职责(如提供支持服务)而需要访问的员工对管理账户的限制访问。 

11. 数据的保留

我们保留个人信息的时间绝不会超过收集个人信息的目的所需。如果我们有持续的合法业务或法律义务,我们会保留个人信息。我们的保留期将根据所涉及的数据类型而有所不同,但一般来说,我们会参考这些标准来确定保留期:

 

  • 我们是否有法律或合同需要保留这些数据;
  • 该数据是否是提供我们服务所必需的;
  • 我们的用户是否会合理地预期我们会保留这些数据,直到他们删除这些数据,或者直到他们的Drops账户被关闭或终止;

 

当我们没有持续的合法业务需要处理你的个人信息时,我们将删除或匿名化该信息。如果这无法实现(例如,由于你的个人信息已被存储在备份档案中),我们将安全地存储你的个人信息,并将其隔离开来,不再进行任何处理,直到可能删除。
