System Permissions and Features

To provide you with the full functionality of our Services, Whats Web Duo may request access to certain system features and permissions:

Account Information

Except as specifically noted below, we do not collect information that can directly identify or contact you, such as your full name, email address, physical address, or phone number (collectively referred to as “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”) in connection with your use of the Services. Nonetheless, we may collect certain other information you provide, such as your nickname if you utilize our Services as a guest. Should you opt to create an account via your third-party social networking accounts (e.g., Facebook) (“SNS Accounts”), you may be required to provide your username (or userID) for authentication. Upon successful authentication, we will link your account to the SNS Account and may access specific details, including your first name, profile picture, and identification number from the SNS Account. Please note that we do not obtain or store the passwords for any of your SNS Accounts.

Usage Information

Our servers automatically log certain details regarding your interaction with our Services, referred to as “Log Data.” This information encompasses data applicable to both account holders and non-account holders (hereafter referred to as “Users”). Log Data may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, device type, operating system, the links and advertisements engaged with on our Services, interaction duration, and other usage statistics. We utilize this information to manage the Services and analyze it (potentially with third-party assistance) to improve and enrich the Services by expanding their features and tailoring them to User preferences. The IP Address may also be employed to generate aggregate, non-identifying insights about Service usage. However, we will never record any sensitive information during the communication process, including the chat messages you send to us for analysis.

Advertising and Third-Party Services

Our Services are supported through advertising, and we collect certain data to facilitate the display of advertisements. We may collaborate with analytic firms to better understand Service usage patterns, including frequency and duration. We partner with advertisers and third-party advertising networks who require information on your interactions with the advertisements presented within the Services. These entities may utilize some of the data collected by the Services, including the unique identification ID of your mobile device. To maintain your anonymity, we employ encryption technologies to ensure these third parties cannot personally identify you. These parties may also receive information regarding other applications downloaded on your mobile device, mobile websites you visit, and non-precise location details to aid in analyzing and delivering anonymous targeted advertising both within our Services and externally. We may share encrypted versions of the information you provide to allow our partners to supplement available information for analysis or advertising purposes.

Information Sharing with Third Parties

We shall not disclose any information collected from you except as outlined below:

If you opt to connect your SNS Account to the Services, other Users will have visibility of your SNS Account first name, profile picture, and details related to your usage of the Services, such as the frequency of access.

Accordingly, we reserve the right to disclose information about you to these parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary to comply with applicable laws, protect our rights, and ensure public safety.
