This Privacy Policy is applicable to the AiHoty app, which is designed for users who are 18 years of age or older. It outlines how we, the developers of AiHoty, collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information of our users. By using the AiHoty app, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information


When you register for an account with AiHoty, we collect personal information such as your name, email address (AiHotydevteam@outlook.com will be used for communication and account-related matters), date of birth (to confirm your eligibility as an 18+ user), and other details necessary for the registration process.

2.2 Payment Information


For in-app purchases, we collect payment information, including credit card details, debit card information, or other payment method data. We ensure the security of this information by using trusted third-party payment processors. The information is only used for the purpose of processing your in-app purchase transactions and is not shared with any other parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law.

2.3 Usage Information


We gather data about how you use the AiHoty app. This includes the features you access, the time you spend on different sections of the app, the actions you take (such as clicking on buttons, uploading content, or interacting with other users), and your navigation patterns. This usage information helps us improve the app's functionality, optimize user experience, and personalize content for you.

2.4 Device and Log Information


We also collect information about the device you use to access the AiHoty app. This includes the device type (e.g., iPhone, Android smartphone, tablet), the operating system version (e.g., iOS 16, Android 13), the device identifier (such as IMEI for mobile phones or UUID for other devices), IP address, and browser type (if applicable). Additionally, our servers maintain logs of your app sessions, which record details like login times, logout times, and any errors or issues that occur during your usage.

3. How We Use Your Information

3.1 To Provide and Improve the App Experience


Your personal and usage data are used to customize the AiHoty app to better suit your needs. We analyze your behavior within the app to offer relevant content, improve the layout and design of features, and enhance overall performance. For example, if we notice that a particular communication tool within the app is popular among users, we may invest in further optimizing and expanding that functionality.

3.2 For Customer Support and Communication


Your contact information, especially your email address, is used to respond to your inquiries, provide technical support when you encounter issues with the app, and send you important notifications about updates, changes in service terms, or other relevant announcements.

3.3 To Comply with Legal Obligations


We adhere to applicable laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in relevant jurisdictions. This means that we use your information in a manner that respects your rights as a data subject, ensuring proper data protection, security, and transparency. We may be required to disclose certain information to regulatory authorities in response to legal requests, subpoenas, or investigations, but only to the extent permitted by law.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

4.1 Third-Party Service Providers


We engage with third-party service providers to assist us in operating the AiHoty app. For instance, payment processors handle in-app purchase transactions securely on our behalf, analytics companies help us analyze user behavior to improve the app, and cloud storage providers store our data infrastructure. These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your data with the same level of care as we do and are restricted from using your information for any purpose other than what is required to perform their services for us.

4.2 Aggregated and Anonymized Data


We may share aggregated and anonymized data about our user base with partners or for research purposes. This data does not contain any personally identifiable information and is used to gain insights into user trends, preferences, and app usage patterns, which in turn helps us make strategic decisions about app development and marketing.

4.3 Legal Requirements and Safety Concerns


In cases where we believe it is necessary to protect the safety and rights of our users, enforce our terms of service, or comply with legal requirements, we may disclose your information. This includes situations where we suspect illegal activity, such as violations of our prohibitions on user-generated content (UGC), or when required by law enforcement agencies with proper legal authorization.

5. User-Generated Content (UGC)

5.1 Prohibited UGC


The AiHoty app is a platform for positive and respectful interaction, and we have strict rules regarding the content that users can generate and share. Specifically, we prohibit the following types of UGC:


5.2 Monitoring and Enforcement


We have implemented automated and manual monitoring systems to review UGC uploaded to the AiHoty app. If we detect any content that violates our prohibited UGC guidelines, we will take immediate action. This may involve removing the content without notice, issuing warnings to the user who posted it, suspending or terminating the user's account depending on the severity and frequency of the violations. In cases where the UGC involves illegal activities, we will cooperate with law enforcement agencies to ensure that appropriate legal action is taken.

6. Your Rights as a User

6.1 Right to Access and Rectify


You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. You can contact us at AiHotydevteam@outlook.com to obtain a copy of your data and verify its accuracy. If you find any inaccuracies or incomplete information, you have the right to request that we correct or update it promptly.

6.2 Right to Erasure


Under certain circumstances, you may request the deletion of your personal information from our records. We will comply with such requests, subject to any legal obligations that may require us to retain specific data for a limited period (such as for accounting or legal compliance purposes).

6.3 Right to Object and Restrict Processing


You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information for specific purposes, or to request that we restrict the processing of your data. We will consider your requests and take appropriate action in accordance with the law, while ensuring that the functionality of the AiHoty app is not unduly affected for you or other users.

7. Data Security


We implement a range of technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes using secure encryption technologies for data transmission and storage, regularly updating and patching our systems to address security vulnerabilities, and restricting access to your data within our organization to only those employees who need it for legitimate business purposes. However, please note that no data security system is completely foolproof, and while we take all reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to the Privacy Policy


We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, legal requirements, or technological advancements. We will notify you of any significant changes through in-app notifications, emails, or other appropriate means.
