Processing your data
How do you process my data?
We process three types of data in order to provide our services on the Asan App.
Account data: In order to create your Asan App account, we process some of your personal data such as a username, date of birth and email address.

Such data includes device data, which informs us about the device you use to access our app services (such as device model, name and identifiers, device settings, application identifier, crash information). Other usage data includes the IP address provided by your browser or mobile device, which we collect in order to deliver the service to your device. We also use the IP address to determine your approximate location for statistical and analytics purposes, and for regulatory compliance in different countries. We do not collect your precise location.

- Consent: For example, where you have said we can send you emails about products we think you’d be interested in, or where you use the log features on our app.
- Our legitimate business interests: Where it is necessary for us to understand our customers, promote our services and operate effectively as long as we do this in a fair way and respect your privacy and other rights. For example we will rely on this legal reason when we conduct certain analysis to understand you and make our services better.
- Performance of a contract with you (or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract with you): For example, where you have purchased a product from us and we need to use your contact details and payment information in order to process your order and send the product to you.
- Compliance with law: Where we need to use your personal information in order to follow the law.
