This Privacy Policy explains how Bond Institute Music Corporation (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our applications (including iotaTONE) and websites (including iotatone.com and bondinstitute.io).

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an iotaTONE account, we collect your username, email address, and a securely hashed password. We do not store plaintext passwords.

Contact Form Submissions: If you contact us through our website, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.

Usage Data: We do not track your in-app activity, usage patterns, or browsing behavior. We do not use analytics or tracking software on our websites or in our apps.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

• Account management: To create and maintain your iotaTONE account and provide access to downloadable content such as sound packs.
• Communications (only with your consent): If you opt in during registration, we may send you occasional emails about new sound packs, app updates, or features. You may opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, or by contacting us at support@bondinstitute.io.

4. Advertising

Our apps may display Google AdMob banner ads solely to support ongoing development. These ads are not personalized and do not track you across apps or websites.

5. Device Permissions

Some features of our apps may request access to motion sensors (accelerometer), microphone, camera, or other device hardware. These permissions are used strictly for in-app functionality (such as tilt-based expression controls) and are never used to collect personal data.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your account data is stored on secure servers. Passwords are cryptographically hashed and never stored in plaintext. We use HTTPS for all data transmission between our apps, your browser, and our servers. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data from our systems within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it.

• Withdraw consent for marketing emails at any time.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

If you are located in the European Union, you have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

If you are located in Canada, your rights are protected under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

9. Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)

We comply fully with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation. We will only send you commercial electronic messages (such as product updates or promotional emails) if you have given us express consent by opting in during registration or at a later time. Every commercial message we send will include our contact information and a clear unsubscribe mechanism. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Our apps and services are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.
