2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly, information generated when you use SamaseTalk, and information we may receive from other sources.

2.1 Information You Provide

When you create or use a SamaseTalk account, you may provide information such as:

• Name and username
• Email address
• Phone number
• Date of birth or age
• Profile picture
• Biography
• Gender or other profile information
• Password or authentication credentials
• Location information you choose to provide
• Messages and conversations
• Posts, comments, replies, and other content
• Images, videos, audio, or other media
• Reports and complaints

You may choose not to provide certain information, but some features may not work without it.

3. Content You Create

SamaseTalk allows users to create and share content. This may include:

• Posts, comments, and replies
• Messages
• Images, videos, and audio
• Profile information
• Reactions
• Community discussions
• Reports
• Other content submitted through the platform

Depending on the feature and your settings, content may be private, shared with selected users, shared with a community, or publicly visible.

4. Sensitive Information

Some conversations on SamaseTalk may involve sensitive subjects, including relationships, intimacy, sexual health, personal experiences, or other private matters. We do not require users to provide sensitive information simply to participate in ordinary conversations.

Where users voluntarily submit sensitive information through the platform, we process it only as necessary to provide the relevant service, maintain safety, comply with applicable law, and enforce our policies.

Users should avoid sharing highly sensitive personal information unless it is necessary.

5. Information We Automatically Collect

When you use SamaseTalk, we may automatically collect information about how you use the service. This may include:

• IP address
• Device type, operating system, and browser type
• App version
• Device identifiers
• Language, region, and time zone
• Log information
• Login and authentication activity
• Pages or screens viewed
• Features used
• Interactions with other users
• Content engagement
• Crash reports and performance information
• Approximate location derived from IP address
• Network information

We use this information to operate, secure, analyze, and improve SamaseTalk.

6. Location Information

SamaseTalk may collect approximate or precise location information depending on the features you use and the permissions you provide. Location may be used to provide location-based features, improve recommendations, display relevant communities, improve security, and detect suspicious activity.

You can control location permissions through your device settings. If a feature does not require precise location, we will not request it unnecessarily.

7. Contacts

If SamaseTalk provides a contact discovery or invitation feature, we may request access to your contacts only after obtaining your permission. If you allow contact access, we may process contact information to help you discover or invite people you know. You can revoke contact permissions through your device settings.

8. Camera, Microphone and Photos

Some SamaseTalk features may require access to your camera, microphone, or photo library. We request these permissions only when necessary for the feature you are using — for example, camera access may be required to take a profile picture or create a post. You can change these permissions through your device settings.

Service Providers

We may use third-party companies to help operate SamaseTalk — including cloud hosting, analytics, authentication, payment processing, security, content moderation, and customer support. These providers may process information on our behalf.

Other Users

Information you intentionally make public may be visible to other users, such as public posts, usernames, profile information, comments, or community activity.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal requests, investigate fraud or abuse, protect users, protect SamaseTalk, or prevent serious harm.

Business Transfers

If SamaseTalk is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

12. Payments

If you purchase subscriptions or other paid services, payments may be processed by third-party payment providers or app stores. We may receive information such as transaction ID, subscription status, and purchase confirmation. We generally do not receive your full payment card number when payment is processed by Apple, Google, or another payment provider.

13. Advertising

If SamaseTalk displays advertising, we may use advertising providers to deliver and measure advertisements. Depending on applicable law and your choices, advertising providers may process information such as device information, advertising identifiers, approximate location, and app usage information. Where required, we will request appropriate permissions or provide available choices regarding personalized advertising.

14. Analytics

We may use analytics services to understand how users interact with SamaseTalk — including which features are used, app performance, errors, crashes, and general usage trends. Analytics information helps us improve the service and identify technical problems.

15. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and certain services may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, preferences, analytics, performance, personalization, and advertising. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings.

16. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Retention periods may depend on the type of information, why we collected it, legal requirements, safety and security requirements, dispute resolution, and fraud prevention. Some information may be retained after account deletion when necessary to comply with law or protect the rights and safety of users.

17. Deleting Your Account

You may request deletion of your SamaseTalk account through:

When you request deletion, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize your information, subject to information we are legally required or otherwise permitted to retain. Deletion may not immediately remove information that is required by law, necessary for fraud prevention or abuse investigation, required to resolve disputes, or exists in backups for a limited period.

18. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:

• Access your information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your information
• Request a copy of your information

19. Children's Privacy

SamaseTalk is not intended for children under [INSERT MINIMUM AGE]. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age. If we learn that a child has created an account in violation of our requirements, we may take steps to delete the account and associated information. If you believe a child has provided information to SamaseTalk, contact us at [PRIVACY EMAIL].

20. International Data Transfers

SamaseTalk may use service providers located in countries different from the country where you live. As a result, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries. Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

21. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encryption, access controls, authentication systems, monitoring, security testing, and secure infrastructure. However, no internet service can guarantee complete security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

22. Third-Party Services

SamaseTalk may integrate with third-party services including authentication providers, payment providers, analytics providers, cloud providers, advertising providers, and customer support services. These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services you choose to use.

23. User-Generated Content

SamaseTalk is a community platform. Content created by users may be visible to other users depending on the privacy settings of the feature. You should carefully consider what information you choose to publish. SamaseTalk cannot guarantee that content shared publicly will remain private after it has been viewed, copied, downloaded, or otherwise saved by another user.

24. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this policy. If a change is significant, we may provide additional notice through the SamaseTalk application, website, email, or other appropriate means.
