The Seaquer service is operated and provided by The Netword Corporation Ltd. The service is provided, free of charge, on a 'best endeavours' basis. We offer no warranties whatsoever that the service will be operating and available to you at any time. Your data could also be deleted or lost, without warning or reason, at any time.
YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON SEAQUER TO STORE IMAGES OR SOUNDS WHICH ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU BUT SHOULD DOWNLOAD AND STORE SAFELY USING OTHER MEANS.
Our core, over-riding principal is that all of your Vibes (the moods, notes, sound and images you upload) are private to you and we will NOT share or distribute your Vibes - or the data generated by analysing your vibes (see below) - unless you decide to share them. You can only share Vibes by sharing the web page link, Bonding, Sharing Scrapbooks or joining a Group. Bonds, Scrapbooks and Groups are discussed in more detail below. Your decision to share is also reversible: Vibes can be removed from groups, Scrapbooks can be unshared. (We cannot however change Reflections which might have been generated between a vibe being shared and then unshared).
Seaquer is NOT, however, a secure messaging platform. And the way we store your images and sounds is designed to enable easy sharing, not to ensure security. You should NOT therefore use Seaquer to handle images and sounds which need to be protected by strong security standards. We do not offer that protection.
When you upload Vibes (mood, notes, images and sound recordings), we will analyse them to extract data about what you have noticed and your reaction to it. If you decide to share a Vibe, the resulting data is combined with data from other Vibes to produce analysis about the local environment. THE ANALYSIS WILL NEVER BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.
You can contact us via [email protected]. We do not however commit to respond within any timescale - or at all.
WE REPEAT: YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON SEAQUER TO STORE IMAGES OR SOUNDS WHICH ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU BUT SHOULD DOWNLOAD AND STORE SAFELY USING OTHER MEANS.
We need your email address to send you a code to verify your account, to send you system messages - such as password resets - and to send you Reflections for Groups you joined.
We cannot control whether or not you include information which could personally identify you when you vibe (upload images, sounds, locations, notes and 'moods') but we ask and recommend that you do not.
We do not collect any other data about or from your use of Seaquer. We do not collect data about your application usage.
This information is stored in a database running on the Google Cloud infrastructure.
Your image and sound files are given a filename of random letters and characters and then uploaded to an AWS S3 'bucket' or other cloud storage service, as required. This 'bucket' is necessarily open to public acccess so that we can share your images and sound with your Bonds, when you share a Scrapbook, when you choose to share your Vibes with Groups or via the web link to people not using the Seaquer apps.
That means than your image and sound files are not protected, other than by a long, random filename. YOU SHOULD NOT UPLOAD SOUND AND IMAGE FILES UNLESS YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH AND ACCEPT THIS VERY LOW LEVEL OF PROTECTION..
Your email address is never included in any data analysis and will never be shared with any other organisation.
Your Vibe files will be passed through multiple machine learning engines and analysed in many other ways to extract as much data about the content contained in the image and sound files as possible. They may be re-analysed at any time as new techniques become available.
The Data so extracted - if you decide to share a Vibe - is then combined with data extracted from other, shared Vibes and fed back into generative AI engines to produce reports, usually about the environment (Reflections) but also about any other subjects which are relevant. The data is also made widely available through data dashboards.
In using Seaquer, you are giving us permission to so analyse notes, moods, image and sound files you upload and, if you decide to share a vibe, to distribute the same. YOU SHOULD NOT UPLOAD SOUND AND IMAGE FILES UNLESS YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH AND ACCEPT THIS.
