We ask that you read this privacy notice carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and on how to contact us and supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.
Data Conversion Systems Ltd (dCS) collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.
This document is limited in scope to the dCS Mosaic streaming product and its associated components including, but not limited to the dCS Mosaic Processor installed in your dCS device and the dCS Mosaic Controller app on iOS and Android.
Other interactions with dCS, such as to request marketing information or technical support, are governed by our corporate privacy policy. More information on our corporate privacy policy is available at: https://www.dcsltd.co.uk/privacy-policy/
dCS Mosaic Processor
The dCS Mosaic Processor consists of hardware and software components installed inside a dCS device in order to enable streaming media functionality. It neither collects nor transmits any personal information to us. The only time in which the dCS Mosaic Processor will initiate communication to dCS is to periodically check for firmware updates for your device. In these cases your IP address may be logged to our server for debugging purposes as is standard convention. No personally-identifiable information is collected.
The dCS Mosaic Processor does include connectivity to a number of 3rd party streaming services in order to provide their catalogues to the users of our products. Use of these services within dCS Mosaic is subject to the privacy policy as published by each of the services. Neither the dCS Mosaic Processor, nor dCS maintain any record of your streaming activity. Should you wish to understand how your data is used by the services to which you subscribe links to their individual privacy policies are provided below:

dCS Mosaic Controller
The dCS Mosaic Controller app includes telemetry functions that require approval from the user in order for them to collect and transmit data. This approval is not required for the dCS Mosaic Controller app to function and users may opt-in and out at will.
The telemetry functions are in place to allow us to gather information on app crash scenarios as well as other faults that users are experiencing. This data allows us to quickly identify faults in our software which may be leading to a poor user experience for our customers and allows us to better schedule our development resources so that problems are corrected quickly.
We use a suite of 3rd-party services in order to enable this functionality and their systems collect crash statistics, stack traces, and other fault data on our behalf. In general none of this information is personally identifiable and is anonymized before being presented to our development team. The data collected and its standard retention is outlined below:
Crashlytics
Purpose: Automated collection of app crash and fault data
Data collected: Installation UUID (unique identifier of your app installation) and crash traces
Retention: 90 days
More Information: https://docs.fabric.io/apple/fabric/data-privacy.html#crashlytics
Firebase Analytics
Purpose: App installation and usage statistics aggregation
Data collected: Mobile ad IDs, IDFVs/Android IDs, Instance IDs, Analytics App Instance IDs
Retention: 14 months

At no time do these services store data that could be used by us to identify you as an individual.
