This policy will explain how Crystal Meth Anonymous (“CMA”) uses the personal data that we collect from you when you use the CMA App (the “App”)..
What data we collect.
CMA collects your first name, last initial, email address and sobriety date when you register for the App. We also store the private communications that you generate when using the Circles feature on the App and the preferences that you set while using the App. These are maintained on AWS servers with industry leading encryption. Your billing information is not collected by CMA but rather is passed on to a third party billing company. Your name, email address, billing address and payment details are all collected. If you choose to subscribe, this information is maintained according to industry leading encryption practices to fulfill your continuing subscription.
How do we collect your data?
You provide the data that the App stores. When you give the App permission to access your location information, that information is used to locate meetings close to you and is not otherwise stored or recorded for any other use. We do not collect any other information about you while using the App or in the background of your device. We collect data and process that data when you register for the App, provide feedback to us by email, save preferences in the App, and send and receive messages through the Circles feature in the App. We do not collect any other data about you from any other sources.
How will we use your data?
CMA stores your data so that we can manage your account and keep your preferences and communications available for you when you use the App. We may also use your contact information to communicate with you via email in case of a lost password or issue with the App. We will never share your data with any third party or outside organization. We will never sell your data or use it to offer you any other services or offers outside of CMA. We use the data you provided to fulfill payments if you have a subscription.
How do we store your data?
CMA securely stores your encrypted data with Amazon World Services on an encrypted server. CMA will keep your data stored safely while you use the App. We will store your data for two years if your account is inactive and we will erase all of your data once an account is closed.
Marketing
We will never send you any information about products or services other than those directly related to the functioning of the App. (Updates, new features, etc.) By using the App, you agree to receive these non-marketing communications.
What are your data protection rights?

The right to access – You have the right to request CMA for copies of your personal data. We may charge you a small fee for this service.
