Account Information. When you sign up with us, we’ll collect certain limited information to identify and reach you, such as your name, email address, and password to authenticate your access to our Services. We may also collect information about your other accounts, such as your login credentials and other information regarding your Facebook, Google, TikTok, Linked and X accounts, that may interact with our Services.

About Your Use of Our Services. We may have access to, and collect, information that your computer or mobile device transmits to us in the course of our interactions, such as the IP address from which you access our Services and information about the configuration or identity of any device or computer that you use to interact with us. We collect certain information through the use of tokens such as “cookies,” which are small text files that your browser or device saves when you access our Services. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to identify that you’ve logged in to the Services and to tell us how and when you interact with our Services. We may collect information about what content or information you have accessed, viewed, followed, marked, annotated, commented on, or shared, and how you have done it. That includes both content or information on our Services and content or information to which our Services links or leads you. We may also use cookies for other purposes, such as to monitor usage and traffic routing on our Services, to customize and improve our Services, and to provide information to allow us to analyze and explain our business. We may also use your information for purposes, not discussed here, that we may explain during your use of our Services.

Face and Audio Information. We may collect data related to the videos, images, and audio within your User Content. This includes identifying recognizing the existence and location of your face, analyzing the nature of the audio, and transcribing spoken words. We ensure that all face data is processed 100% offline and is never saved locally or on our servers. This information is collected to enable features such as image and video effects, content recommendation, and moderation.
This data is not shared with any third parties.

How do we use your information?

We will use your information in a variety of ways in order to provide and improve the Services, to personalize the Services to you, to deliver content, to connect you with other services you use, and to share certain information externally as we discuss below. In addition, we may use information about groups of users, without focusing on any particular user’s information, for a wide variety of business reasons, such as to study usage and traffic patterns, to test different aspects of our technology and Services, to analyze and describe our business, and to change our Services.

What Information May We Reveal?

We may publicly reveal personal information that you have publicly revealed on our Services, such as comments, annotations, and other information that you explicitly ask us to share or publicize. We may share any information with other services that you have relationships with, based on information you have given us about those service relationships. We may engage others to work with us to administer and provide our technology and Services. These third-parties may have access to your information only for the purpose of assisting us, and we would furnish them your information only with an obligation of confidentiality commensurate with our own policies. We may reveal aggregated information of our users and non-identifying information about any user with others for any purpose. Information that we collect from our users, including personal information, is a business asset. This means that if we go out of business or seek bankruptcy protection, or if another company acquires us, someone else may take possession of the information. We may reveal information to satisfy or comply with any law, regulation or legal process or to respond to lawful requests, including subpoenas, litigation discovery requests, warrants or court orders; to protect our property, rights and safety and the rights, property and safety of third parties or the public in general; and to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.

The Security of Your Information

We take reasonable measures to protect the information that we collect from or about you from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information.
