This one is mostly for Shane but I am posting here as others may wish to know some of my privacy questions (further down this note) as well.
Shane, first off, thank you for all your work on Super sense. I’m very impressed with a couple of features in particular in the app. I’ll get to my questions on privacy below but first, I noticed that I needed to manually adjust the speech rate. It is actually possible to have each AVSpeechUtterance have its prefersAssistiveTechnologySettings property set to true so that it will use VoiceOver’s speech settings. This way it would be possible for folks not to need to set this. This might be a consideration to have as a setting that people may change if they like. Just a thought and hope it helps. OK so now on to my issue and questions; I seem not to be able to activate the Restore Purchase button. Honestly, I’ve forgotten if I purchased a subscription and wanted to check. :) The button just does not seem to want to activate though so I’m wondering if this may be an issue with the app’s UI with VO? This takes me to my privacy questions; Since I am considering the lifetime subscription, I was reading over the privacy policy and Terms of Service and noticed a couple of things that I have questions on. I’ll post the two relevant sections here, followed by my questions: 1 Information Collection and Use For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to email addresses, in addition to text data and image data. The personally identifiable information that we request will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy. The anonymized data that is collected throughout the application may be used in collaboration with universities for academic purposes to assist our customer community. The app does use third party services that may collect information used to identify you. Link to privacy policy of third party service providers used by the app - Google Play Services - Firebase Analytics - Crashlytics Log Data 2 Service Providers We may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons: - To facilitate our Service; - To provide the Service on our behalf; - To perform Service-related services; or - To assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. We want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose. So in section 1 above, you mention that text and image data may be collected. Does this mean that people should not use this app for reading credit card numbers and sensitive personal information? In section 2, similarly to section 1, you mention that third parties or individuals also may have access to personally identifiable information. Will folks be alerted to this personaly identifiable data being shared and have the chance to get more information on each instance or opt out? Thanks so much Shane and I’m very interested in your responses to these questions as I am really looking forward to using this app with the lifetime subscription with privacy and such preserved. Thanks a bunch and please let me wish you and yours a lovely and safe holiday season and great new year! Cheers! Cara -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
