In addition, if you choose to share these with other Vinchat users, we may not be able to delete them from our servers or make them unavailable to anyone with whom you have shared them. Sending and sharing text messages, photos, screenshots, videos, or other communications in the Vinchat app is your decision. By choosing to share this information, you should understand that you may no longer be able to control how it is used and that it may become public (depending in part on your actions or the actions of others with whom you share the information). Vinchat is not responsible for any use or misuse of the information you share.
Vinchat may also collect User Content (such as photos, screenshots, comments, and other materials) that you create on the Service.

If you do not agree to all the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service.
If the Service crashes or hangs, we also collect error report information so that we can investigate the error and improve the stability of future versions of the Service. Generally, these reports do not contain personally identifiable information, or only occasionally do. As part of these error reports, we receive information about your device type and version, device identifier, when the error occurred, the features you were using, and the state of the application when the error occurred. We do not use this information for any purpose other than investigating and fixing the error.
3. For what purposes do we use your personal information?
We collect your personal data and other information to provide a safe, optimal and personalized user experience for each user of the Service. We may use the collected information for the following purposes:
Publishing your user profile. Social platforms mean you can connect with other users. We process your data into a unique user profile that is visible to other users, platform visitors and users of certain search engines. Users can control the information on their profile and can choose whether their profile is included in public search results (via settings).
Improvements and developments in matching results, technology, and other features. We focus on successful matching. We have more detailed information about our users, so our results are more accurate and more successful.
Improve platform functionality by analyzing and interpreting user statistics. We are happy to use new technologies to improve and update our products and services.
Advertising. Advertising enables us to provide you with the rich content available on the Services. Some of our ads are based on the content of pages you view elsewhere on the Internet (i.e., online behavioral advertising). We believe that such tailored ads are more relevant to you and therefore more popular. We and our partners (including Facebook and Google) use your personal data to tailor ads and may even display ads to you at relevant times. For example, if you have our apps installed, you may see ads for our products in your Facebook feed. How to Opt-Out or Influence Personalized Ads iOS: On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, then Privacy, tap Ads to select Limit Ad Tracking. Additionally, you can reset your advertising identifier in the same section (which may also help you see fewer personalized ads). Android: To opt-out of ads on an Android device, simply open the Google Settings app on your phone, tap Ads and enable Opt-out of interest-based ads. Additionally, you can reset your advertising identifier in the same section (which may also help you see fewer personalized ads).
Detect and prevent fraud, erroneous and/or criminal behavior and violations of our Code of Conduct. This is necessary to be able to provide a secure and high-performance platform. While we do not generally read or monitor the messages you send or receive through the Service, we reserve the right to access and review such messages to detect any fraud or other illegal and undesirable user behavior, to conduct background checks on users, or to take any legally required action. This may occur, for example, if we receive a large number of user complaints about the content of messages received from you.
General membership management and provision of paid services. We refer to any actions necessary to ensure that appropriate services are provided to users. We use information to provide you with personalized services, such as selecting available payment processors, determining eligibility for promotions, and showing you personalized advertising. Some of the data we receive may be considered "sensitive data" due to its nature. Sensitive data is data that takes into account your health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, and sexual orientation. Users are not required to share sensitive personal data on their profiles, but they can choose to do so. Sensitive personal data will only be processed in accordance with the objectives mentioned previously. During the registration process, users explicitly consent to the processing of all their personal data.
Comply with legal obligations. We may process, use or share your data when required by law, in particular when your data is requested by law enforcement agencies through available lawful means.

10. Children and COPPA
We are a general audience service and do not knowingly use the Service to collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13) that would require parental notice and consent under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). In fact, if you are under the age of 18, you may not use the Service or send any information about yourself to us through the Service.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from any child, we will handle that information in accordance with COPPA and other applicable laws and regulations. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without the consent required by COPPA, please contact us by email at: hw87204@gmail.com
1 1 . Data Retention
We will store your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy (including providing services to you), including but not limited to the period during which you have an account on this App. We will also retain and use your personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
1 2 . Consent to Transfer
The Service is primarily operated in the United States. In order to provide you with our products and services, we may send and store your personal information outside of the country where you reside or are located, and your personal information may be transferred outside of the country where you reside or are located, including to countries that may not offer or provide an equivalent level of protection for your personal information. We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information when it is transferred.
If you reside or are located in the European Economic Area and such transfers occur, we will take appropriate steps to provide the same level of protection for processing in those countries as you would within the European Economic Area, to the extent feasible under applicable law. By using and accessing our products and services, you consent to your personal information being transferred to and processed on servers outside of your country of residence, and that the protection of such information may be different than the requirements of the laws of your country of residence or location.
1 3 . Others
By completing your registration, you expressly accept the processing of your personal data and other information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Given that technology is always innovating, we cannot predict the future functionality of our Services. Therefore, your consent also applies to the processing of your personal data and other information through new technologies and techniques that are part of the original purpose of our Services.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to check our Services from time to time for any changes to this Privacy Policy or any of our other policies. If our practices with respect to previously collected personal data change and become substantially less restrictive than set forth in the version of this Privacy Policy in effect when we collected the information, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice and obtain consent for any such use as may be required by law.
If our company is acquired or sold, all rights and obligations arising from this Privacy Policy will be transferred to the new owner. If the new owner makes significant changes to the Privacy Policy, he will provide users with all necessary information about these changes.
