Privacy Policy

How GiToon collects, uses, shares and protects personal data on gitoon.am and in the GiToon Companion apps.

Your privacy is critically important to us. At GiToon, we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We only ask for personal information where there is a clear purpose for doing so, and we aim to minimize the personal data we collect.
  • We only share personal information where necessary to provide and improve our services, comply with the law, or protect our rights and those of others.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of one of our services.

If you have questions about this privacy policy or about deleting, correcting, or otherwise exercising rights in relation to your personal data, please contact the GiToon support team at contact@gitoon.am.

Scope and Responsibility

We, GiToon Solutions, Artem Mikoyan 10/10, Yerevan, Armenia (“we”, “us”), operate GiToon and are responsible for the processing of personal data described in this privacy policy, unless stated otherwise.

This privacy policy applies to the GiToon website “gitoon.am” and the official GiToon Companion apps, unless and to the extent that a specific service is covered by a separate privacy notice. Until such a separate privacy notice applies, this policy governs the relevant processing.

Visitor Data and Analytics

When you visit the GiToon website, we process limited technical data for two main purposes: website stability and security, and usage analysis.

Website Hosting and Server Logs

As part of providing the hosting service, our website hosting provider necessarily processes server-side request logs, including IP addresses. We do not use these logs for advertising or cross-site profiling.

Website Analytics (Google Analytics)

For a more detailed understanding of site usage and activity, we use Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use the website.

The data we collect and process for analytics includes:

  • Information about your browser, network, and device
  • Web pages you visited prior to coming to this website
  • Web pages you view while on this website
  • Approximate country/region (derived from your IP address)

This information may also include aggregate details about your use of this website, for error and performance analysis and optimization:

  • Clicks
  • Internal links
  • Scrolling/scroll depth
  • Timestamps/time on page
  • Referral sources

Gathering of Personal Information

Certain visitors choose to interact with GiToon in ways that require us to process personal information. For example, when you contact us by email or phone, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, support requests or feedback. We process this information only to the extent necessary to provide the relevant service, respond to your interaction, operate and protect the service, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

Aggregated Statistics

GiToon may create and publish aggregated or anonymized statistics about the use of its website and services. We do not intentionally publish information that identifies individual users.

How We Share and Protect Personal Data

We share personal data only with employees, contractors, service providers, and affiliated organizations that need the information to operate or support the relevant GiToon services, and are subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also disclose personal data where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or to protect the rights, property, or safety of GiToon, our users, or others. We do not sell or rent personal data. We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

International Data Transfers

GiToon operates from Armenia and uses service providers that may process personal data outside Armenia, including in the EEA and the United States. Where required by applicable data protection law, we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms such as adequacy decisions, the Data Privacy Framework, or Standard Contractual Clauses, and implement additional safeguards where necessary.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The “gitoon.am” website uses cookies set by Google Analytics for the analytics purposes described above. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, with the drawback that certain features of the website may not function properly.

Companion Applications

The official GiToon Companion apps are designed primarily to communicate directly with the GiToon instance configured by the user. Depending on the permissions and features enabled by the user, this may include sensor, health, and location data, including background updates. Such sensor, health, and location data is sent directly to the configured GiToon instance and is not logged by GiToon or shared by GiToon with third parties as part of that direct transmission.

Certain separate app features may rely on third-party infrastructure, including services used for push notifications and crash or diagnostic reporting. The specific processing depends on the operating system, app version, permissions, and features enabled by the user. The Companion apps remain covered by this privacy policy until and to the extent that a separate Companion app privacy notice becomes applicable.

Retention Periods

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy, or as required by applicable law. Retention periods vary by service and data category. Where a specific retention period is available and relevant, we state it in this privacy policy; otherwise, we retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, taking into account applicable legal requirements.

Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights including access to your personal data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, please contact GiToon at contact@gitoon.am.

Privacy Policy Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, or legal requirements. The current version and its effective date will be published on this page. Where appropriate, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
