Where This Privacy Policy Applies

The websites, applications, events, and other services we provide under the Teteo are covered by this privacy statement. For the sake of simplicity, we will refer to all of these in this Privacy Policy as "services."

Information We Collect

It should go without saying that without some information about you, such as your basic profile information and the kinds of people you'd like to Go Out For Fun, we can't assist you make significant connections. We also gather information from third parties, such as when you use your social media account to access our services or when you upload data from your social media account to complete your profile, as well as information on how you use our services, such as access logs. We go into further detail below if you're interested in more information.

Information you give us

When you use our services, you voluntarily provide us with some information.

For the service to function, you must provide us with certain basic information when you register an account, such your gender, date of birth, and the location you want to connect with. At the very least, you must give us your phone number or email address.

You can choose to share your sex with us after you've finished your profile. You agree that we may use the elements you disclose to us for the purposes outlined in this privacy statement. Also, you can provide us with information about your background and interests as well as content like pictures and videos. You might give us permission to access your camera or photo album in order to add certain content, like images or videos.

You give us information about the purchases you make when you subscribe to a paid service or buy something directly from us (as opposed to doing so through a platform like iOS or Android), and you give our payment processors information like your debit or credit card number or other financial details.

When you provide us with your opinions on our goods and services, answers to our questions, and testimonies when you take part in surveys, focus groups, or market studies. We gather the data you use to register for or enter when you decide to take part in our promotions, events, or competitions.

We gather the data you provide during an interaction with our customer support team. In order to fulfill your request, we process any information you offer us about other individuals (for instance, if you use a friend's contact information for a certain service). Of course, we also handle the material you publish, your conversations with other users, and the operation and security of the services in order to protect our community.

Information we receive from others

In addition to any direct information you may give us, we also acquire information about you from third parties, such as:

• Members: When using our services, members may give us information about you, such as when they engage with you or if they file a report about you.
• Social Media: You might choose to upload data to our services, such as images from one of your social network accounts, or create and log into your account using a social media or other account (like Facebook, Google, or Apple), in which case you may choose to share information with us through that account (e.g., Instagram or Spotify).
• Affiliates: Teteo places a high premium on the security and safety of its users. Your information may be shared with us if you were barred from using another Teteo service so that we can take the appropriate action, such as cancelling your account or barring you from opening one on our services.
• Other Partners: When our advertisements are displayed on a partner's service, we might get information about you from them (in which case they might share information about a campaign's success). As part of our efforts to guarantee the safety and security of our members, we may also get details about suspected or convicted bad actors from third parties, where this is permitted by law.

Data generated or automatically collected when you use our services

When you use our service, you generate technical data on the features you've used, how you've used them, and the devices you use to access our services when you use our services. For more information, see below.

• User information:Utilizing the services generates data about your activity on the platforms, including how you use them (e.g., when you logged in, features you've been using, actions taken, information shown to you, referring website addresses, and ads you've interacted with), as well as your interactions with other members (e.g., members you connect and interact with, and when you connect and exchange messages with them).
• Device information: We gather data from and about the device(s) you use to access our services, including hardware and software details like IP address, device ID and type, app settings and characteristics, app crashes, advertising IDs (which are arbitrary numbers that you can reset by going into your device's settings and, in some cases, completely disable), and identifiers linked to cookies or other technologies that may uniquely identify a device or browser.
• Information collected by cookies and similar technologies:To identify you and/or your device, we employ cookies and related technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, and SDKs) and may also permit third parties to do so (s). You may learn more about them and how to better manage their use by reading our Cookie Policy. Certain web browsers contain a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") function that informs a website that a user does not want their online activity to be recorded. Some web browsers include Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. When a DNT signal is received by a website that responds to one, the browser has the option to prevent that website from gathering certain user data. A DNT option is not available in every browser, and DNT signals are not yet standard. This is why a lot of companies, like ours, do not now react to DNT signals.

Other information with your consent

Precise geolocation data:  We can obtain your exact geolocation (latitude and longitude) from your device if you allow us permission to do so. If the consent you gave us expressly enables such collection, your geolocation may be collected in the background even while you aren't using the services. You might not be able to use our services that depend on exact geolocation if you refuse to give us permission to collect your location data.

We may collect other information with your permission, such as photos and videos (for instance, if you want to publish a photo or video or participate in streaming features on our services).

Your profile will no longer be viewable to other users if you choose to request to deactivate your account after utilizing our services for a while. We will remove your personal data if your account is closed, as detailed below:

1. We implement a safety retention window of three months following account closure or one year following an account ban in order to ensure the safety and security of our members. We may store your information throughout this time or more as permitted by law if it becomes essential to look into potentially harmful or illegal activities. Our legitimate interests and the interests of potential third-party victims are the foundation for the retention of information throughout this safety retention window.
2. Once the safety retention window elapses, we delete your data and only keep limited information for specified purposes, as laid out below:

• We maintain limited data to comply with legal data retention obligations: in particular, we may keep transaction data for 10 years to comply with tax and accounting legal requirements, credit card information for the duration the user may challenge the transaction and “traffic data” / logs for one year to comply with legal data retention obligations. We also keep records of consents members give us for five years to evidence our compliance with applicable law.

Finally, we maintain information on the basis of our legitimate interest where there is an outstanding or potential issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep information (in particular if we receive a valid legal subpoena or request asking us to preserve data (in which case we would need to keep the data to comply with our legal obligations) or if data would otherwise be necessary as part of legal proceedings).
