Privacy Policy

emAPPetizer Inc. values your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of its users. We have adopted this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) to be clear about what data we collect, why we collect it, whom we share it with, how you can access it, and correct it when necessary.

We recognize our duty to handle your data in a responsible manner. We do not and will not sell your data to third parties.

This Policy applies to the use of 1^st Incident Reporting’s mobile application, web application and the 1^st Incident Reporting Website (the “Website”) (collectively referred to as the “Services”). Please read it carefully in order to understand when you may provide personal information to us and how emAPPetizer uses the personal information provided. By using 1^st Incident Reporting, you agree to the use of your personal information as described in this Policy. The terms “we”, “us” or “emAPPetizer” are each intended as a reference to emAPPetizer Inc.

To make this Policy as clear as possible, we have determined the occasions when a customer would potentially share information with emAPPetizer. The Policy is therefore divided as follows:

Learning about 1^st Incident Reporting
Opening a 1^st Incident Reporting Account
Using 1^st Incident Reporting
Getting help from 1^st Incident Reporting

We have then added different sections explaining in more detail how your personal information is used, how and when it might be shared, how you can access and control your personal information, the ways we make sure your information is safe, and how to contact us.

Opening a 1^st Incident Reporting Account

Once you have gathered enough information about 1^st Incident Reporting, we allow you to open a 1^st Incident Reporting account on our Website or on our mobile application. We offer a 14-day trial so you can try our product and determine whether or not it meets your needs. Registering for this trial does not require any payment information.

When you open a 1^st Incident Reporting account, you may also decide to log in using third-party login information such as Microsoft 365 login information, Google login information or Apple login information. In such case, you allow emAPPetizer to access and obtain personal information and other types of information about you from these three companies. The third-party login information you allow emAPPetizer to collect is subject to that third party’s privacy policy.

We do not store any payment or credit card information. We only use payment information in connection with the purchase of a subscription for 1^st Incident Reporting.

Payment details you provide will be encrypted using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology before they are submitted. Payments are normally made through our payment gateway provider, Stripe, or through PayPal.

Legal basis: performance of a contract and necessary for our legitimate interests (ensure we get paid) and your legitimate interests (ensure you receive the products or services you have paid for).
