You can grant or withdraw this permission at any time (see Article 3.2).

3.2 Data we collect automatically
When you use our services and features, we collect information on your activities on the Application:
- Activity data (private) - (registration date, logindates, on or offline status, notifications received, notification preferences, etc.)
When you access our Services and use the Application and its features, information on the way you use them is collected and processed. Most ofthe information collected by GLANCES is necessary for the provision of its Services. Without this data GLANCES cannot supply the Services linked to the GLANCES application. More specifically, this includes your registration date, login dates, on or offline status, thetype and number of interactions with other Members, notifications received and notification preferences.
Geographical location and proximity records (private)
The Application's main value and purpose is to allow Members to find other Members they have seen in real life or may have crossed paths with. Your Geographical position is collected with your express consent only. You will be asked to authorize the collection and processing of your location data to allow GLANCES to identify when you are near other Members who have agreed to be geo-located as well.
Unless you have changed the settings on your device, GLANCES will collect your Geographical position regularly while the permission is granted.
Other Members never see your location. They see only anapproximatedistance between you and them, calculated by GLANCES. Yourposition isnever shown on a map, never shared with other Members, andnever sold orshared with advertisers.
Background collection. GLANCES uses GPS and Wi-Fi, whenpermitted andenabled, to collect location data even when the app isclosed or not inuse, in the background mode, so that you can be found by, and can find,Members who are near you at the time. Background collectionis switchedoff by default and is enabled only by the Member, from Settings → Find people while the app is closed. While itis running, theApplication displays a permanent notification saying so, andit can beswitched off at any time from the same setting.
You may, at any time, withdraw your consent by disabling location for the Application in your device settings, or by switching off background discovery in the Application. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal. If you withdraw it, you may continue to use your Account, but GLANCES will not be able to show you Members nearby and other Members will not be able to find you.
Wireless networks. Where permitted, GLANCES records which wireless networks your device can see, in order to tell whether two Members are inside the same building - something satellites cannotdetermine indoors. These identifiers are stored only as irreversible salted hashes. The names and raw identifiers of the networks are never stored.
Bluetooth proximity between Member's devices (private)
GLANCES uses BLE scanning (Bluetooth Low Energy) to establish how close two Member's devices are, for more accurate results - especially indoors, where GPS and Wi-Fi positioning are unreliable.
GLANCES uses BLE, when permitted and enabled, to collect thepositions of devices relative to each other, even when the app is closed or not inuse, in the background mode, for the same purpose.
The Application does not pair with, connect to, or exchange data with any device. It broadcasts a random identifier that changes every fifteen minutes, and listens for the same from other Members'devices. These identifiers cannot be used to identify a device or a person outside the Application.
Text messages sent and received (private)
Messages are sent and stored on GLANCES's servers, to provide the Service that allows Members with a Match to have a conversation. Messages arestrictly private and only implicate the Members involved. GLANCES's authorized managers do not exercise any rights to view these conversations. These Messages are not transmitted or communicated to thirdparties except in cases of judicial requests, and/or incompliance withthe applicable legislative or regulatory provisions. Moreover, Messagesare strictly private and are not accessible to other Members who are not involved in the conversation, nor to any third party.
Search preferences (private)
The Application lets you set preferences by age, gender, andthe distance of the Member from you. You can change these settings in the Application and specify the age range, Member Characteristics, and the gender ofpeople you are looking for, so that you are shown only profiles meeting your search criteria.
Technical data of the cell phone or device (private)
We collect information from the devices and equipment youuse to access our Services, including server logs, which may contain information such as IP addresses, version of the application, device version andmodel, language used, operating system, and application crashes.
GLANCES does not collect your device's advertising identifier and does notuse it for any purpose.
Transaction Data: GLANCES does not collect or processany bankingdata. The Google Play Store and the Apple App Store haveopted to refrainfrom sending certain types of data to mobile applications,which includesany banking and financial information. This data iscollected andprocessed solely by the above platforms, and GLANCES doesnot have theoption of changing this payment method. The only informationexchangedbetween GLANCES and these platforms is technical data thatdoes not allowus to identify you (for example, a transaction number), usedto validatetransactions. GLANCES will therefore retain a history ofyour purchasesand subscriptions but will not store any informationrelating to thepayment methods you use.

GLANCES has introduced a process for automatically deleting your account and your personal data in accordance with the storage time limits defined below. When certain data must be stored for statistical uses beyond these storage time limits, this data is irreversibly anonymized to ensure youcan no longer be identified.
Location and proximity data
Location data is kept for as short a time as the Service allows:
- Position history is deleted automatically every hour. GLANCES runs an automatic sweep that removes every recorded position older than one hour. No history of your movements is retained.
- GLANCES keeps one current approximate position per Member , which is overwritten eachtime it is updated. This single point is what allows the Service to tell whether you are near another Member. It is not a trail and cannot beused to reconstruct where you have been.
- Proximity records and Bluetooth identifiers are deleted automatically every hour, on thesame sweep.
- Wireless network identifiers are stored only as irreversible salted hashes, and are over written as you move.
Account data
GLANCES will store the Member's data for as long as required in order forthe Member to use his/her Account, namely:
- For the length of the Member's registration, plus one year. After one year of inactivity on an Account, the Account will be deleted and the Member's data retained for another year before being permanently destroyed or irreversibly anonymized. An account is considered inactive when the Member's Application has not established contact with GLANCES's servers and the Member has not used the Application. In any event, the Account of a Premium Member is not considered inactive. In accordance with its status as ahosting provider, GLANCES has a legal obligation to retain some of its Members' personal data for a period of one year.
- When a Member is banned, his/her Account becomes inactive.Information from this Account is retained in an active database for one year, in order to cross-checkit against new registrations and prevent, to the extent possible, banned users from registering again. Subsequently, the personal data isarchived for one more year, after which it is deleted permanently or irreversibly anonymized.
- When the Member deletes his/her Account, or requests its deletion from Customer Service, itis removed from the Application. Deletion takes effect after a short grace period of 48 hours, during which it can be cancelled by signing in again. The Member's data is then kept in a separate archive for one year before being permanently destroyed or irreversibly anonymized, in order to enable GLANCES to comply with its obligations as ahost.
- Some of the Member's data, such as email address and telephone number, may be retained for marketing purposes (see Article 4.3) or to improve and optimize ourservice (see Article 4.4) for one year after an Account has been inactive for one year. If a Member deletes his/her Account, this data will notbe used for marketing purposes.
