Last Updated: January 18, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Torio ehf (“Company,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects Your information when You use the PosterCal mobile application (“Application” or “Service”). It also informs You about Your privacy rights and how applicable laws protect You. By using the Application, You agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If You do not agree, please discontinue using the Application immediately.


1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We prioritize Your privacy. Whenever possible, data used in the Application is stored locally on Your Device. We do not upload or store personal data on Our servers or third-party systems unless explicitly required for a feature You opt into and consent to. This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with the App Store Review Guidelines and all applicable privacy laws.

2. Interpretation and Definitions

Interpretation

Words whose initial letters are capitalized have meanings defined under the following conditions. These definitions shall have the same meaning regardless of whether they appear in singular or in plural.

Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

  • Application refers to PosterCal, the software program provided by the Company.
  • Company (referred to as either “We,” “Us,” or “Our” in this Agreement) refers to Torio ehf, Haholt 4, 270 Mosfellsbær, Iceland.
  • Device means any device that can access the Service, such as a computer, a cellphone, or a digital tablet.
  • You means the individual accessing or using the Service, or the company, or other legal entity on behalf of which such individual is accessing or using the Service, as applicable.

3. Data Handling

3.1 App Permissions

Our Application requires certain device permissions to function effectively. Here's how we use each permission:

  • Camera Permission: We only request camera access to let you take photos of event posters directly within the app. We only process photos that you actively take within the app - we never access your camera without your explicit action. If you're a new user or have premium access, these photos are automatically processed by our AI.
  • Gallery Permission: We only request gallery access to let you select specific photos to upload. We exclusively process the images that you actively choose to upload - we never access or process other photos in your gallery. For new users or premium subscribers, your selected photos are automatically processed by our AI.
  • Calendar Permission: We use calendar access solely to: 1) Show you a list of your available calendars so you can choose where to save events, and 2) Save new events created in this app. We do not read or access any of your existing calendar events.

Alternative Options: For each permission, we offer alternatives:

  • Instead of using the camera, you can upload existing photos or manually add events.
  • Instead of using gallery access, you can take new photos with the camera or manually add events.
  • Instead of granting calendar access, you can copy event details and manually add them to your calendar.

3.2 Data Collection

Local Storage: In most cases, the information processed by the Application is stored solely on Your Device. This includes manually added events, settings, and preferences, unless otherwise noted below.

AI Processing: Our Application may offer AI-powered features (such as text extraction from images) that require sending images or relevant data to Our servers or third-party AI providers to perform processing. We utilize various third-party AI tools and services, including but not limited to OpenAI, Google Cloud Vision, or similar services, to provide our AI features. We strive to use secure and reliable third-party AI models but cannot guarantee that such third parties will not collect or store data for their own purposes. We evaluate Our third-party providers to ensure they maintain a level of data protection at least as stringent as Our own. By using our AI features, you acknowledge and consent to your data being processed by these third-party AI services. Important: AI processing only occurs on photos you actively choose to process - either by taking a new photo or selecting one from your gallery.

Temporary Storage: We may temporarily store certain data on Our servers for error handling and performance improvements. This data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill these operational purposes and is not used for any other intent.

No Unauthorized Collection: We do not actively collect or store sensitive personal information—such as email addresses, names, personal identifiers, or precise location—unless explicitly required for a feature You opt into. We do not sell Your personal data to third parties or use it for advertising purposes.

AI Limitations: While We strive to provide accurate and reliable AI-based services, these systems are not infallible and may make mistakes. By using these features, You acknowledge and accept that errors may occur in AI-driven processes.

3.2 Data Sharing

Third-Party AI Services: The Application uses certain third-party AI services to analyze images or text content. If a specific feature requires sharing data externally, We will request Your permission and provide clear information about how and why the data will be shared. Without Your explicit consent, We do not share Your data with external parties for any purpose other than AI processing necessary to provide the Service’s core functionality.

Compliance with Legal Obligations: We may disclose Your data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

3.3 Data Deletion and User Control

Local Data Removal: All data used within the Application remains under Your control. You can delete or manage the data stored on Your Device at any time through the Application’s settings or Your Device’s storage settings.

Server Data Removal: In rare instances where data is uploaded to Our servers (for AI analysis or error handling), it is automatically removed or anonymized after processing, unless otherwise stated. If You have questions or concerns about specific data processes, please contact Us at torio@torio.is.


4. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in jurisdictions outside Iceland) without parental consent. If You are under 13, please do not use the Application or send any information about yourself to Us. Parents or guardians who believe their child may have provided Us with personal information without their consent should contact Us immediately so that We can take steps to remove such information.


5. Links to Other Websites

The Application may contain links to other websites or online services (e.g., for surveys or additional support information). We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We strongly advise You to review the privacy policy of every site You visit.


6. Security of Your Information

We take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the information stored locally on Your Device and any data temporarily transferred to Our servers. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your information, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.


7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in Our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted directly in the Application or on Our official website, and We will notify You of significant changes through updates or prompts within the Application. We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how We are protecting Your information.


8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where You reside, You may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that We have collected about You. You may also have the right to object to or request restriction of certain processing activities. To exercise any of these rights, please contact Us at torio@torio.is. We will respond to Your request in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

10. Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't have a subscription?

Without a subscription, You can still use the Application to manually add and manage events.

These premium features—including automatic text extraction and event detail recognition from posters and images—are only available to subscribers.
