Introduction

At Lyf App, accessible from https://lyf.app , the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our community. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Lyf App and how we use it.

As an Australian company, we have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act). The NPPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure and dispose of your Personal Information.

A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.aoic.gov.au.

We are also compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) covering anyone in the European Union and the United Kingdom as well as the Data Protection Act (DPA UK), California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California’s Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) for users from the United States of America, Personal Information Protection Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) for Canadian consumers, and others.

Consent

By using our app, you expressly and voluntarily consent to the Terms of Service, including this Privacy Policy and agree to abide by the Community Guidelines.

Information we collect

The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information. Personal information is that which identifies an individual. Examples of could be legal names, residential addresses, email addresses or phone numbers.

Upon signup with Lyf App you are only asked to supply a phone number or valid email address for account verification, and your country as location. Your birthday is asked for due to the mature nature of some content. No other information is requested.

If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.

Lyf does not ask you to share your legal name, only a Display Name of your choosing.

Lyf does not keep passwords.

Lyf will not ever ask for your financial information nor does it need access to any credit details.

By creating an account with Lyf App, you are simultaneously creating an account for Lyf Support App, should you wish to use it.

Sensitive Information

Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about such things as an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or health information. This will be used by us only for the primary purpose for which it was obtained, for a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose, with your consent or where required or authorised by law.

During use of Lyf App, you will have the opportunity to share information of a sensitive nature by creating a timeline of posts that we call an Experience. Through your privacy settings, Lyf enables you to easily control and manage your privacy by setting limits on the extent to which your experiences are searchable and shareable.

Private experiences are visible only to yourself, and then other users should you give access. Anonymous experiences are not linked to your profile and no author is shown. Public experiences are linked to your profile page, searchable and shareable with others. Lyf is a closed community, only members can view content. Any content linked and shared externally can still only be viewed within the app once a person has downloaded and signed up. They are then bound by the same Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and this Privacy Policy.

You will have complete control over the protection of your personal information. There is no requirement to make your experiences public. You can have a variety of public experiences, some anonymous and some private, and change these settings at will.
