We are concerned about privacy issues and want you to be familiar with how we collect, use and share information we receive about our clients and users and the options available to you. If you have any questions you may contact us (see the “Contact Us” section of our
website).
Tamoco Limited (“we,” “our,” “Tamoco”), and its subsidiaries offer an aggregation platform service, where we collect Proximity and Location data (“the Data”) which we receive and store when a third party utilises the Tamoco SDK or Platform (“the Service”).
With your consent, we may collect two kinds of location information through your use of the Service on your mobile phone or device. To identify locations near you and to appropriately enable the services, we may gather location information through your mobile phone or device’s geolocation, GPS or similar capabilities. Furthermore as part of the Service, we may collect information about your location within participating locations through your mobile phone or device’s Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or similar capabilities in combination with technology implemented by and with our partners. We refer to the location information collected through your mobile device’s applicable geolocation, GPS, Bluetooth or similar capabilities simply as “Location Information”.
We will only gather these kinds of Location Information if you agree to share them with us by opting-in to the Services from one or more of our partners (either during your initial app download, login or later.) to receive the Services and by enabling these capabilities on your mobile device. Once you have opted-in to receive the Services and consented to our gathering of Location information, the Tamoco Software and Services will continue to collect Location Information about you until you log off (they will continue to gather information if they are running in the background) or use your phone’s or other device’s setting to disable your mobile device’s applicable geolocation, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or similar capabilities for the Tamoco Software or Services.
