  • You can opt-out of personalized ads by visiting Google Ads Settings or through your device settings.

  • We do not share your personal messages or media content with AdMob or advertisers.


4. Encryption and Security

  • We use end-to-end encryption for all one-to-one messages and media, meaning only you and the recipient can read or listen to the content.

  • Group messages are encrypted in transit and stored encrypted on our servers.

  • We do not store encryption keys, so we cannot access the content of your messages.

  • Despite encryption, metadata (such as timestamps and sender/recipient identifiers) may be accessible to us for operational purposes.

  • With third-party service providers who help us operate and improve the app (under strict confidentiality agreements)

  • In case of a business transfer such as merger or acquisition

  • Aggregated or anonymized data may be shared for analytical or marketing purposes without identifying you personally


6. Data Retention and Deletion

  • Messages and media files are stored on our servers only as long as necessary to deliver them to recipients.

  • We retain your account information and chat history until you delete them or close your account.

  • You can delete individual messages, media files, or entire chat histories at any time.

  • After account deletion, your data will be deleted from our servers within a reasonable period, except where we are legally required to retain certain information.


7. User-Generated Content and Conduct

  • You are responsible for the content you share through our app.

  • We reserve the right to remove or restrict content that violates our Terms of Service or applicable laws.

  • Illegal, harmful, or abusive content is strictly prohibited.
