Privacy Policy 

Background

The Chirality, Chirality-2 and ARCHEM apps were created by Michelle Spencer and Oliver Jones, and their students and collaborators, at RMIT University in Melbourne Australia. We are academics, not a business. The apps are educational, free to download and do not generate any revenue. 

You can read about how Chirality-2 was created at https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jchemed.7b00856 and you can contact us via spencerandjones2016@gmail.com if you want more details on any aspect of the apps, or this privacy policy.

Policy details

Our privacy policy is short and simple. The Chirality, Chirality-2 and ARCHEM apps do not, and will not, collect or store any personal information, ever. It is that simple.

We do not use analytics, and we don't have adverts. We should let you know that the Apple App and Google Play stores that you downloaded the apps from may use cookies to deliver their services and analyse traffic, but that is not us. You can find out more about how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/privacy/google-partners?hl=en-US and how Apple uses data at https://www.apple.com/au/legal/privacy/en-ww/ if you wish.

Anonymised and amalgamated data on the total number of downloads in different countries and devices (from users who opt in to provide it) is provided to all app developers by Google and Apple to ensure quality of service, and to generate usage statistics. Data from our developer account, such as total number of downloads, may be used in promotional materials for the apps but such data contains no unique identifiers and it is collected stored and processed by Apple or Google and not by Chirality, Chirality-2, ARCHEM or us. You can also opt out of giving Apple and Google this information at any time by changing the settings in your Apple or Google Play account.

The Chirality-2 app does allow you to post your scores to your Facebook and Twitter accounts if you have them. However, this is done via the Facebook and Twitter API and associated apps, not by Chirality-2. No personal data (e.g. email address or billing information) or any other data that can be reasonably linked to such information is ever collected by the Chirality, Chirality-2 or ARCHEM apps and never will be. Once you have downloaded the apps you do not even need an internet connection to play them.

Information sharing

Like anyone else, we will always comply with court ordered legal requests. However, we don't expect any such requests since we don't collect any personal information and therefore could not provide anything useful even if asked for it.
