4. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

This "Data Collection Policy" applies to all automated or semi-automated data collection mechanisms implemented in the context of the use of the "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" mobile application, published by the company LAPSUS.

It covers in particular:

  • The use of technical trackers integrated into the Application, regardless of the operating system (Android, iOS, etc.);
  • Interactions with software development kits (SDKs), app tags, or mobile advertising IDs;
  • Technologies embedded by third-party services used by the Application (e.g. analytical tools, advertising networks, crash reporting services);
  • Measurement, tracking, diagnostics, or personalization devices that are integrated into the App or enabled as part of a specific feature.

This "Data Collection Policy" applies :

  • to all Users of the Application, whether registered or not, regardless of their country of residence or subscription status;
  • all versions of the Application, whether they are in production, in testing, or in pre-release distributed on an official download platform (App Store, Play Store).

It does not apply to:

  • content or services accessible outside of the Mobile Application, such as the official NOX website: https://nox.app ;
  • to data actively collected by the User through forms or explicit interactions, which are processed within the framework of the "Privacy Policy".

5. COLLECTION MECHANISMS

The "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application may collect personal data actively or passively, depending on the User's interactions with the platform and the technologies embedded in the application environment.

These collection mechanisms are strictly regulated, both technically and legally, and are only activated when they are necessary for the proper functioning of the Application, or authorized by the User as part of their consent or settings.

The purpose of this section is to clearly distinguish:

  • Actively collected data, i.e. data provided directly by the User;
  • Data collected passively, i.e. data recorded automatically when using the Application;
  • The specific technologies used to enable this collection (SDKs, application trackers, advertising identifiers, tags, etc.).

A. ACTIVELY COLLECTED DATA

Although this "Data Collection Policy" focuses on the technical mechanisms of passive or automated collection, it should be recalled, by way of introduction, that part of the personal data processed in the context of the "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application comes from active collections, i.e. directly and voluntarily provided by the User.

This data is entered or transmitted consciously by the User, in particular when:

  • their registration with the Application;
  • account settings or preferences;
  • the use of social, interactive or messaging features;
  • the publication or management of personal content;
  • sending reports, creating tickets with "Support", or requests related to one's rights.

These active collections allow the User to interact with the Application according to the features he activates and the content he chooses to share. They are fully described in the "Privacy Policy", to which reference should be made for details, purposes, legal basis and retention periods.

This data is not the focus of this document, as it is not automated or passive collection via embedded technologies. However, they are mentioned as a supplement, insofar as their processing may depend on the same consent preferences as those applied to passive collection mechanisms, in particular with regard to usage analysis, personalization or sharing with external partners.

B. PASSIVELY COLLECTED DATA

Some personal data may be collected passively, without explicit action by the User, during the use of the "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application. This collection is based on the use of technologies integrated into the mobile environment, intended to ensure the proper functioning of the platform, to improve the user experience, or to secure the infrastructure.

This data is recorded automatically by the system or by on-board technical services, without the User having to fill in a form or directly transmit any information.

Data collected passively may include, but is not limited to:

  • Technical data :
    • model of the device used;
    • brand and manufacturer of the device;

    • accurate timestamps (date and time of each system action or event)
    • logs;
    • logs of changes to sensitive settings (password, email address, privacy preferences);
    • history of consents or withdrawals of consent;
    • technical traces of API interactions (successful or failed);
  • Usage Data :
    • total duration of each usage session;
    • frequency of connections;
    • number of pages or screens viewed per session.
    • navigation path between screens or menus;
    • actions taken in the app.
    • how often each feature is used.
    • completion rate of actions or forms;
    • content viewed;
    • data relating to interaction with notifications;
    • anonymised or pseudonymised usage statistics for analysis purposes;
  • Advertising ID Data :
    • Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA);
    • Android Advertising ID (GAID);
    • data associated with these identifiers (interest categories, marketing segments);
    • membership in anonymized advertising cohorts (via third-party tools such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads);
    • technical information transmitted to advertising networks: device model, language, approximate geography;
    • advertising campaign performance data (impressions, clicks, conversions, uninstalls);
    • non-consent data, if the User has disabled advertising tracking on their device;

    • the default language associated with the country.
    • used only for:
      • adjust the display language.
      • adapt content to local legislation (sensitive content, moderation).

This data is collected and processed in accordance with the principles of minimisation, proportionality and transparency, and is associated with specific purposes. No data passively collected is subject to processing that is incompatible with the User's reasonable rights and expectations.

C. PASSIVE COLLECTION TECHNOLOGIES USED

The "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application uses various technologies embedded in the mobile application environment to enable passive or semi-automated data collection. These technologies are used in a controlled, transparent manner that is proportionate to the purposes pursued.

The main technologies used are:

  • Internal application trackers: These are devices integrated into the code of the Application, allowing certain technical or functional events to be monitored (e.g., opening a screen, activating a parameter, crashing a function). These trackers do not allow the direct identification of the User and are used to improve the quality of service.
  • SDK (Software Development Kits): The Application integrates software libraries provided by third parties (e.g., analysis tools, notification systems, advertising management). These SDKs may trigger the collection of technical, performance or interaction data, depending on the parameters chosen by the User. All SDKs are subject to contractual agreements with the Publisher, in compliance with the GDPR.
  • Mobile Advertising IDs: Where the User has consented, operating system-specific advertising IDs may be used to display targeted advertisements or measure campaign performance. These include:
    • IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) on iOS;
    • GAID (Google Advertising ID) on Android.
      • These identifiers can be reset or deactivated by the User in the settings of his device.
  • Application tags and tracking pixels: Some modules may contain technical tags (e.g., loading pixels, confirmation events) that can be used to trigger a statistical or advertising event when using a specific feature. These tags alone do not allow a User to be identified but may be cross-referenced with other data if the User has consented to this.
  • System logs and server logs: The Application automatically generates internal logs for each usage session. These logs contain timestamps, error reports, system information, or traces of interaction. They are used for diagnostic, security or operational maintenance purposes.

These technologies are activated either by technical necessity or on the basis of the User's explicit consent when required by the regulations. They are governed by security measures, contractual controls with service providers, and configuration mechanisms accessible to the User.

6. PURPOSES OF COLLECTION BY TECHNOLOGY

The passive collection technologies embedded in the "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application are associated with specific, determined and legitimate purposes. Each automated collection mechanism is activated either for essential technical reasons, or with the User's prior consent when required by the regulations.

The main technologies used, and their respective purposes are as follows:

  • Internal application trackers: Used to track navigation between screens, measure user journeys, and record technical events. They contribute to the improvement of the overall experience and functional analysis of the Application. These trackers are based on the legitimate interest of the Publisher;
  • System logs and server logs: These logs are automatically generated at each session and are used to diagnose errors, stabilize the Application, and secure the infrastructure. Their processing is also based on legitimate interest;
  • Analytics SDKs: Employees to obtain aggregated statistics on the use of the Application, the frequency of connections or the performance of modules. When these SDKs involve personalization or behavioral profiling, their activation requires the User's consent. In the absence of personalization, legitimate interest may be invoked;
  • Mobile Advertising Identifiers (IDFA / GAID): Activated only with the explicit consent of the User, they allow the display of personalized advertisements, the membership of advertising segments, and the measurement of the performance of advertising campaigns (impressions, clicks, conversions, uninstalls);
  • Application tags and tracking pixels :D triggered during certain specific actions (video viewing, clicking on sponsored content), these elements make it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns or promoted content. Their use is based on the prior consent of the User;
  • Approximate geolocation technologies: Used to adapt the display language, filter certain content according to local legislation, or produce regional usage statistics. This data is based on the legitimate interest of the Publisher, as it does not allow precise identification;
  • Push Notification SDKs allow :P to send targeted notifications based on the preferences expressed in the Application. Their activation is conditioned by the device settings and can be adjusted directly in the settings of the App. The processing is based on the User's consent or on legitimate interest depending on the context.

Those purposes shall be defined in accordance with the principle of proportionality. Each processing is within the framework of the objectives specified in the "Privacy Policy", to which reference should be made for an overview of the legal bases and the processing carried out by the Publisher.

7. CONSENT MANAGEMENT

The automated collection of certain data in the "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application is based, when required by regulation, on the explicit, free, informed and specific consent of the User, whether the collection is passive or active. This consent is collected, applied and can be modified at any time, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive.

A. INITIAL COLLECTION OF CONSENT

At the end of the creation of their account, the User accesses a dedicated screen entitled "Use of your data" composed of four purposes for collecting and processing data requiring their consent. From this screen, the User can:

  • consult the "Data Collection Policy";
  • individually tick the preferences to which they wish to consent;
  • use the "I accept all" or "I refuse all" buttons.

No checkboxes are pre-selected by default. The User's choice is stored locally and on the server side, in compliance with the requirements of the GDPR.

B. PREFERENCE BEHAVIOR

Each preference offered to the User during the "Use of your data" screen activates or deactivates specific data processing, having concrete technical consequences on the operation of the Application, the use of embedded technologies, or the display of advertising content.

The four options presented are independent but can interact with each other, especially when certain compatibility conditions are required between several processing operations.
The effects associated with a consent or refusal are exhaustively detailed below, for each preference, specifying the technologies concerned, the functionalities activated or deactivated, as well as the limitations imposed in the event of an objection:

  • Preference n°1: "Analysis of the use of the Application":
    Refers to the collection of browsing, interaction and user journey data for the purposes of continuous improvement (ergonomics, performance, stability):
    • In case of agreement:
      • Authorization to perform pseudonymized or identified internal analysis;
      • Permission to use analytics SDKs (Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, etc.) with pseudonymized identifiers (user_id, device_id, session_id);
    • In case of refusal:
      • Prohibition of associating any technical identifier with browsing data;
      • Collection limited to fully anonymised data, for raw statistical purposes;
      • No personalization possible on the basis of usage behavior;
  • Preference n°2: "Use of optional trackers":
    Refers to the use of optional technologies embedded in the Application (third-party SDKs), which are not essential for basic operation:
    • In case of agreement:
      • Enable optional SDKs like Google Ads, Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics;
      • Ability to use performance, conversion or attribution trackers;
      • Reading and storing authorized mobile advertising identifiers (IDFA, GAID, AAID);
    • In case of refusal:
      • Preference 4 is automatically unchecked;
      • Disabling all optional SDKs that use trackers;
      • Prohibition of reading or storing any advertising identifier;
      • Systematic dissociation of user_id, device_id and session_id in Google tools;
  • Preference n°3: "Personalized advertising":
    Refers to the display of internal or external advertising adapted to the User's profile or preferences:
    • In case of agreement:
      • Display of personalized advertisements;
      • Display targeted rewarded videos via Google Ads;
      • Permission to use mobile advertising identifiers (IDFA, GAID, AAID);
    • In case of refusal:
      • Preference 4 is automatically unchecked;
      • Ads remain active, but are rendered non-targeted;
      • Prohibition of the use of advertising identifiers;
      • Technical impossibility to offer first-party personalized advertising in the future;
  • Preference 4: "Sharing data with advertising partners (Google Ads)":
    Refers to the sending of technical or behavioral data to third-party partner services, exclusively Google Ads:
    • In case of agreement:
      • Permission to transmit technical, statistical or advertising events to Google Ads;
      • Activation of the personalization of advertising campaigns via rewarded videos;
      • Possibility of belonging to anonymized marketing targeting segments;
    • In case of refusal:
      • The rewarded video remains accessible, but without ad targeting;
      • No transfer of data to advertising networks is permitted;
      • Future syncs with Google Ads are blocked unless consent is renewed.

C. CHANGING CONSENT PREFERENCES

The User can change their consent choices at any time directly from the Application, by accessing the "Personal Data" sub-menu of the "Settings" menu.

Each preference can be activated or deactivated independently of the others, according to the User's wishes. It is not necessary to delete your account or reinstall the Application to reset your choices.

Preferences are scalable in a granular way, which means that the User can, for example, accept usage analysis while refusing personalized advertising or data sharing.

Any change in preference is immediately reflected by the technical systems and applied without delay, including:

  • the deactivation of associated technologies (trackers, SDKs, advertising identifiers);
  • the purging or anonymisation of data collected under consent, when there is no retention obligation to prevent it;
  • Server-side consent status update.

The User may also choose at any time to refuse all preferences via a single command present in the interface, or to reset his choices if necessary.

D. PROOF AND TRACEABILITY OF CONSENT

In accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Publisher keeps proof of obtaining consent as well as any withdrawal or modification of preference.

Each action relating to consent is the subject of a time-stamped recording, associated with the User's technical identifier (without a direct link to his or her civil identity). These logs are stored in a secure environment and are only accessible to authorized persons within the Publisher.

Consent logs are retained:

  • as long as the User's account is active,
  • or as long as proof of compliance is required with regard to the processing carried out.

No data resulting from a refused treatment may be reused at a later date without further explicit consent. The opt-out is also stored to prevent unauthorized triggering of technologies or credentials.

This system guarantees complete traceability, continuous compliance and respect for the User's rights at all times of the use of the Application.

8. LIFESPAN OF TRACERS

The technologies used in the "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application may generate technical identifiers or automated recordings (trackers) at different stages of use. The lifespan of these trackers varies according to their nature, their purpose and the consent expressed by the User.

The Publisher applies a minimum and proportionate retention policy, in accordance with the principle of data minimization. No tracker is activated or stored beyond what is strictly necessary for the purpose pursued.

A. SESSION PLOTTERS

The so-called "session" trackers are generated temporarily, exclusively for the duration of active use of the Application. They are used to:

  • allow the authentication of the User during his session;
  • ensure stability and functional consistency between the different screens;
  • Facilitate internal navigation, without constantly re-entering information.

These trackers include, for example:

  • A temporary session ID generated by the server.
  • A private messaging access token.
  • technical information related to the current secure connection.

Lifetime: These items are automatically deleted when:

  • the User closes the Application;
  • or a session expires due to prolonged inactivity.

They are never retained beyond an active session and do not result in any lasting recordings.

B. PERSISTENT TRACERS

Some trackers have a longer lifespan, as they allow the App to:

  • Remember personalized preferences (language, display, notifications, sensitive content, consent)
  • to monitor the evolution of user journeys for improvement purposes;
  • Analyze the overall usage of features (if consent has been given);
  • Measure advertising performance (if consent is extended to partners).

These trackers are created via third-party or internal SDKs and can include:

  • pseudonymized identifiers (user_id, device_id, session_id);
  • anonymized marketing segments;
  • persistent statistical tags.

Lifespan: these trackers are kept:

  • for a period defined by each technology, varying between 1 and 13 months maximum;
  • and are automatically deactivated or reset in the event of withdrawal of consent.

The User can also manually reset their lifespan by:

  • logging out of their account;
  • resetting their advertising ID on their device;
  • or deleting their account.

C. ADVERTISING IDENTIFIERS (IDFA / GAID)

The Application may, if the User explicitly consents, access the mobile advertising identifiers provided by the operating system:

  • IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) for iOS devices;
  • Google Advertising ID (GAID) or AAID for Android devices.

These identifiers make it possible to:

  • the display of targeted advertisements (rewarded videos, Google Ads);
  • Campaign performance measurement (clicks, conversions, uninstalls)
  • Membership in anonymous advertising segments.

Lifespan:

  • These credentials remain available until they are reset or disabled in the device's system settings.
  • the Application does not read or store them if the User has refused personalized advertising or optional trackers.

In the event of withdrawal of consent or system opt-out, any processing of these identifiers is blocked.

D. API TECHNICAL LOGS AND EVENTS

When using the Application, technical logs are automatically generated by the system to:

  • ensure the proper functioning of the company;
  • detect errors or failures;
  • analyse the security of data exchanges;
  • evaluate response times and quality of service.

These logs may include:

  • Accurate timestamps
  • Exception messages
  • Error-triggering modules.
  • traces of API interactions (successes, failures, technical parameters).

Lifespan:

  • These logs are kept for a maximum period of 6 months, unless there is an exception justified by a need for security or auditing.
  • They are pseudonymized, with no direct association with an identifiable user identity.
  • They are never used for advertising or profiling purposes.

E. REVERSIBILITY AND DELETION

The User has full control over the trackers activated or stored on their device or in their data space. He or she may at any time:

  • change their consent preferences from the App settings;
  • reset their advertising IDs from their device's system settings (Android / iOS);
  • empty all the trackers associated with their account by requesting the deletion of their personal data;
  • request the deletion of their account, which results in the permanent deletion of all data not legally retained.

The trackers associated with a withdrawn processing or a deleted account are:

  • be abolished entirely;
  • or irreversibly anonymised, for statistical or archival purposes only.

9. THIRD-PARTY TOOLS AND PARTNERS

The "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" Application integrates certain services provided by third parties technologies (e.g. SDKs, APIs, analytical or advertising solutions) in order to ensure its operation, improve the user experience or offer additional services. These tools may be required to collect, receive or process certain technical or pseudonymised data, subject to the consent expressed by the User.

The Publisher undertakes to strictly regulate the use of these third-party tools via:

  • GDPR-compliant subcontracting or partnership agreements,
  • a regular technical check of their behaviour,
  • and an automatic deactivation in the event of refusal of associated consent.

A. LIST OF EMBEDDED THIRD-PARTY TOOLS

As part of the operation of the "NOX – The Social Alarm Clock" application, certain third-party services are used to provide authentication, infrastructure, security, personalization and data management. Some of them may process personally identifiable information (PII) or technical data.
