1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

In Short: To create your account and manage your preferences, we collect personal information that you provide to us.
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you sign-in into your account with R26, when you participate in in-app activities (by saving your favorite podcasts, asking questions or creating your unique user profile) or otherwise when you contact us.
The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the app, the choices you make and the features you use. Presently the personal information we collect includes the following:
- Your email address or your phone number for authenticating your account with R26
Optional:
- Your favorite podcasts and playlists.
- Your profile information (name, Hebrew name, birthday, location).
The app does not require or store: financial information, health and fitness info. The app does not require access to your phone messages, photos, videos, or other files and documents.
Some user information is collected automatically but it’s stored in a manner that does now allow to identify it with specific user account. For more, please, refer to the next paragraph.
1.2. Information automatically collected
In Short: Some information — such as your approximate location and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you use the app. However, it is stored in a way that does not allow to associate it with any specific user account.
We automatically collect certain information when you use the app. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as:
• In-app activity such as screen views and taps.
• Approximate location (user or device physical location to an area greater than or equal to three square kilometres, such as the city that a user is in).
• Language preferences.
• Crash logs and other app performance data.
• Device model and other information.
