This policy is not applicable to the practices of third parties that are not possessed or controlled by Chatly, including but not limited to third-party services that you access via Chatly, the App or the Service, or to individuals that are not hired or managed by Chatly. Since our Service integrates with third-party sites like Facebook and other sites and social networks, we presume that you are already acquainted with the privacy policies of those other sites and networks when using our App and/or Service and when you permit us to interact with these sites and networks on your behalf.

The Information We Collect

There are three primary methods through which we gather information: • - Information you voluntarily offer to us • - Information we acquire when you use our services • - Information we obtain from third parties Here is a more detailed account of each of these types.

Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us

By visiting and interacting with Chatly, its App and/or its Service, you furnish us with Personal Information, which may consist of, but is not limited to, the following: • - Personally Identifiable Information: This could include, without limitation, the information provided when you register to utilize the App and/or the Service, such as your name, profile picture, date of birth, phone number, phone book content, address, email address, occupation, employer, gender, age, birthday, Facebook account details and friend list, and/or other social network usernames and 'likes' and preferences, friend lists and the number of friends you have through social networks, messages to other users of the App and the Service, usage details regarding your utilization of the Service, the profile picture that you upload via the App or the Service, and browser information. • - The information you opt to provide as mentioned above may be shared with your contacts on our service. You have complete control over your profile information and can access and modify it at any time. Additionally, if you register to our service using your Facebook account (e.g. Facebook Connect), we may store your Facebook ID and corresponding token on our servers and, if you grant us your explicit consent, we will have access to and may collect certain information that you make accessible on Facebook (for instance, your first and last names, email address, profile picture, your friend lists and birthdays). Your Profile is accessible to other users of the Service who are connected to you on our service. Moreover, unless you choose to opt-out (which you can do at any time in the settings of our application), your Profile can be discovered by other users. You can decide to “block” any user on our platform to prevent unauthorized access to your Personal Information. • - You may also choose to share your mobile device’s Contacts list with us (including names, numbers, emails, Facebook ID, Apple ID, etc) and we will store it on our servers to assist you in enhancing our service, for example, connecting with friends on our service. If you do not wish us to store this information, you can opt-out through your account settings or notify us via email. If you do this, we will not be able to offer certain features of our service. Naturally, you will also provide us with any information you send through the services. It should be kept in mind that the users to whom you send texts, images, and any other content can always save that content or copy it outside the app. So, the same common sense applicable to the Internet in general also applies to Chatly: Don’t send messages or share content that you would not want someone to save or share. It probably goes without saying, but we will state it anyway: When you contact Chatly Support or communicate with us in any other way, we will collect whatever information you offer voluntarily.

Information We Obtain When You Use Our Services

Also, if you share these with others, we might not be able to remove them or make them unavailable to those you shared with.

You can access and update your account information directly in the app by visiting the Settings page of the app. If you need to access, update, or delete any other personal information we might possess, you can submit a request here. Because your privacy is of importance to us, we might ask you to confirm your identity or provide additional particulars before we allow you to access or update your personal information. You can also remove our service from your mobile device or proceed with account deletion.

If you change your mind about our continuous ability to collect information from certain sources you previously consented to, such as your phonebook, camera, photos, or location services, you can simply withdraw your consent by adjusting the settings on your device if your device offers those options.

Analytics and Advertising Services Provided by Others

We might allow other enterprises to apply cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies on the services. These companies could gather information about how you use the services and other websites and online services over a period of time and across various services. This data could be used for multiple purposes, like analyzing and tracking information, determining the popularity of specific content, and having a deeper understanding of your online actions. Additionally, some companies might utilize the information they collect on our services to provide targeted advertisements on behalf of us or other firms, including on third-party websites and applications. Currently, Chatly doesn't respond to do-not-track signals that could be sent from your device. If we do this in the future, we'll give information about that practice in an updated version of this privacy policy.

Children

Our services are not intended for – and we don't direct them to – anyone under 18. That's the reason we don't deliberately collect personal information from individuals under 18.

Revisions to the Privacy Policy

We may make changes to this privacy policy from time to time. However, when we do so, we will inform you in one way or another. Sometimes, we'll let you know by changing the date at the top of the privacy policy accessible on our website and mobile application. At other times, we might offer you additional notification (such as adding a statement to the homepages of our websites or giving you an in-app notice).
