This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to TalkZ and any related services, tools, or features (collectively, the "Services") operated by TalkZ ("we," "our," or "us").
It explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal information, and what rights you have regarding your data. Please read this Policy together with our Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should stop using the Services.
We may update this Policy from time to time. Updates will take effect once posted. If you continue using our Services after changes are made, it means you accept the updated Policy.
Our Services are not intended for children under 14, or under 16 if you live in the European Economic Area. If we learn that we've collected information from a child without verified parental consent, we will delete it.
By using TalkZ, you confirm that you are of legal age in your country, or you are using the Services with proper parental or guardian consent.
We collect personal information (which may include sensitive data) in line with principles of legality, necessity, and transparency. If we use your information for purposes not outlined in this Policy, we will notify you and obtain consent where required by law. We only request information that is reasonably necessary.
We may collect:
"Personal Information" means any data that can identify you directly or indirectly.
You can register using Google, Apple, or email. Some features may be limited without an account.
Creating a profile (username, optional details) enhances your experience but is not required.
AI Chatting: You may create your own AI character or interact with existing ones.
Payments: Premium features can be purchased via credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or similar services. Payment data may be collected.
Customer Service: To verify identity or resolve issues, we may request account info, contact details, or supporting evidence.
We may request access to:
Some optional permissions (e.g., flashlight, alarm wake lock) do not collect personal data.
To secure your account and improve performance, we collect:
With your consent, we may collect data from service providers, social platforms, or payment processors. For example, if you log in via Google or Apple, we may receive your username and profile picture. Third parties may collect additional data, which is not shared with us.
We are not responsible for third-party services' privacy practices and disclaim liability for losses arising from their use.
We may process your information without consent when:
TalkZ uses cookies and similar tools to improve functionality, analyze usage, and personalize your experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us remember preferences, keep you logged in, and enhance performance.
You may adjust browser or device settings to block or delete cookies, but some features of our Services may not function properly without them.
We may also use third-party analytics and advertising technologies that collect data about your activity across our Services and other websites or apps. This helps us measure performance, deliver relevant ads, and improve our offerings.
We may use your information to send updates, promotions, or personalized content related to TalkZ Services. Third-party partners may also deliver ads based on your activity across apps and websites.
You can opt out of marketing emails by following the unsubscribe link in any message. Ad preferences can also be managed through your device or browser settings. Please note that even if you opt out, you may still receive non-promotional communications, such as service updates or account notices.
We generally do not share personal information with third parties unless:
Contractors processing personal data must comply with confidentiality and data protection agreements. They may have their own policies, and refusal of consent may limit access to certain features. You may contact us to confirm if your data has been shared or request to opt-out, though this may restrict functionality.
We will not transfer control of your personal data unless required by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or liquidation, in which case we will notify you of the details.
We do not sell personal information. If you believe your data has been sold, contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO).
We may disclose information if:
When you cancel a paid subscription, some data may be shared with third-party payment providers (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe) to process the cancellation. This may include account registration dates, activity logs, purchases, and usage of in-app items.
You may log into your account anytime to view or update your information. If it is inaccurate or outdated, contact us for correction. Upon request and when technically feasible, we may provide a copy of your data or transfer it to a third party.
You can withdraw or adjust your consent through Settings or by contacting us. Note that this may limit our ability to provide Services. Prior data collected with your consent will remain stored unless deleted.
You can delete your account via Profile → Settings → Delete My Account or by contacting us. Some data may remain in backups until refreshed. Deletion is permanent and will remove access to all Services.
We will verify your identity and aim to respond within 30 days. Requests are generally free, but we may refuse those that are unrelated, repetitive, overly burdensome, infringe on others' rights, impractical, or conflict with our Terms or the law.
We keep your personal data only as long as needed to provide our Services, comply with legal requirements, or resolve disputes. Once no longer required, data will be deleted or anonymized.
If laws require certain information to be kept longer (e.g., for accounting, security, or regulatory reasons), we will retain it for that period before removal.
We use technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. While we take reasonable steps to secure your information, no system is fully immune to risks. In the event of a data breach, we will assess and, if risks of harm or large-scale impact are identified, we will notify authorities and affected users within the timelines required by law.
Our Services are not directed to children under 13, or under 16 where required by local laws. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we learn that such information was provided without proper consent, we will delete it. Parents or guardians who believe their child has submitted information should contact us for assistance.
Depending on your location, additional rights or obligations may apply under local privacy laws (e.g., GDPR in the EU/EEA, CCPA in California, or other regional regulations). These may include rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or transfer your data, as well as the right to object to certain processing. We will comply with such requirements and provide details as mandated by applicable law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any significant changes will be communicated through our Services or other appropriate channels. Continued use of our Services after updates means you accept the revised Policy.
