The following terms of service (“Terms”) apply to the service offerings of CenceMe.org (“the Service”), including the Web pages available at http://www.cenceme.org (“the Site”), the CenceMe.org software available at Apple® App Store* for use on the iPhone™ (“the Software”), and any other CenceMe.org widgets, plugins, add-ons, etc.

These Terms conform with, and include by reference the CenceMe.org privacy statement (“Privacy Statement”) posted on the Site. In the case of any discrepancy between these Terms and the Privacy Statement, these Terms shall take precedence.


Description of the Site

The Site provides information including a description of CenceMe.org services, and also hosts a community support forum (“Forum”). The Forum allows users of CenceMe.org services (“the Users”) to share experiences with each other, and to ask questions. CenceMe.org contributes to this Forum as a means of providing customer support. Announcements to the public, including the Users, along with the most recent Terms and Privacy Statement are also provided via the Site.


Description of the Software

Once installed on a compatible iPhone™ device, the Software infers human presence information based on iPhone™ sensors, for example, activity and location, and also records any User-annotation (“User Content”) of the inferred presence (collectively, “Presence Information”). The Software is available for download from Apple App Store and is operational in two modes: pre-activation and post-activation. The pre-activation mode allows a User to gather his or her own Presence Information for his or her personal viewing on the iPhone™ device. In post-activation mode, according to the User's privacy settings, CenceMe Users have the additional ability to share their Presence Information with their friends by automatically copying it to a "profile box" developed by CenceMe.org and installed to a User's Facebook™** account. CenceMe data is transmitted(received) by the iPhone to(from) the servers using the iPhone data channel and not SMS.
