SecureChat.ai PRIVACY POLICY

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 18TH 2021

PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we protect your information and governs our use of the information you provide when you use SecureChat.ai, along with any successor websites that we may determine from time to time.
This Privacy Policy specifically incorporates our Terms of Service published at https://SecureChat.ai/legal/. This Privacy Policy is applicable to all the SecureChat.ai platform, password management solutions, and all the products, services, applications, websites, and updates therein (the “Services”). SecureChat.ai, may, from time to time, introduce new Services. To the extent that this Privacy Policy applies to the new Services, we will notify you as described below.
By accessing or otherwise using SecureChat.ai Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. As far as it is consistent with applicable laws and regulations, you also agree and consent to functionalities and information practices of the present and future Services. If you do not agree to any part of this Privacy Policy as applicable to present and future Services, you must not access or use the Services.
Note that some of our products are standalone products, collect only limited information or no information at all. Not every section of this Privacy Policy will apply to these products.

GENERAL

  1. SecureChat.ai, in providing the Services, comply with provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Registration Information

  1. When you sign up for an account with us, we collect and store information that specifically identifies you, including but not limited to, your name, email address, and other information you may submit.
  2. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. If you choose to contact us through email or chat, we may retain the content of your messages together with your email address and our responses.

Credit Card Information

  1. If you pay for a SecureChat.ai service directly from us, we collect your credit card number, expiration date, security code, and other applicable billing information. We use this information to bill you for services. SecureChat.ai uses third-party payment processors and therefore has only limited information about your payment transactions.

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Device Information

  1. When you use SecureChat.ai, our servers automatically record certain information about your mobile devices. This information may include an equipment identifier (e.g., IMEI, UDID), subscriber identifier (e.g., IMSI), device name, mobile phone number, device type and manufacturer, operating system type and version, wireless carrier/operator, network type, country of origin, location information, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and the dates and times of your requests. We use this information to provide our services, and support if needed, and to create de-identified or aggregate information about our users. For example, collecting your device’s phone number allows the service to contact your phone via SMS when you locate your phone from the SecureChat.ai web Services.

Social Media Features

  1. Our website includes social media Features (“Features”), like the Facebook recommend button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site. If you use these Features, they will collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Features may be hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the Feature, not by our Privacy Policy.

Your Use of SecureChat.ai Services

  1. We use analytics software so that we can improve the features and usability of the Services. This software may analyze information such as how often you use the Services, the events that occur within the Services, and where the Services was downloaded. We may also use such information to show you relevant content and suggest new features, products, and services that can enhance your use of SecureChat.ai. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile app.

Your Use of SecureChat.ai Website and Emails

  1. We use analytics services to measure how people use our website and emails so that we can improve our products and services and provide more relevant content to you. Analytics services may work by embedding invisible images that are associated with unique identifiers on our site, by using cookies or other local device storage, or by using web beacons, web bugs, clear gifs, and similar tracking technologies.

Location Information

  1. Some features we offer work better if we know what area you are in. SecureChat.ai may collect location information in two ways. We may receive it directly from your mobile device, or, in some situations, we may receive location data from cell tower or Wi-Fi hotspot information. We may use third-party service providers to translate that information into usable location information.

Other Information You Provide to Us

  1. To the extent you use our Website or Services to voluntarily provide us with any other information, we may collect such information and use it for the purposes for which you provided such information, or as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. We also collect the information described in the following section.

USE OF INFORMATION

  1. We use the information that we collect from you to provide our services to you. In addition to this, we may use the information for one or more of the following purposes:
  2. a) To provide information to you that you request from us relating to our products or services.
    b) To inform you of any changes to our website, services or goods and products.
    c) To improve our website.
    d) To improve customer service.
    e) To process transactions.
  3. We may use the non-personal information solely to improve our products and to provide customized services or technologies to you.
  4. We will never rent, sell or provide your personal information to any third parties unless you request and agree to it. Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purposes stated in this policy.

Partners and Providers

  1. We transfer information to vendors, service providers, and other partners who globally support our business, such as providing technical infrastructure services, analyzing how our Services are used, measuring the effectiveness of ads and services, providing customer service, facilitating payments, or conducting academic research and surveys. These partners must adhere to strict confidentiality obligations in a way that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and the agreements we enter into with them.

Service Participation

  1. We may use the information we collect from you to allow you to participate in the Website’s activities for which the information is collected, including, but not limited to, to improve the content, customize the content and/or layout of our page for each individual visitor, to notify users about updates, and for our internal contact database purposes. In some cases, we may allow you to connect data you have already provided through another service (e.g., Google, Facebook, Twitter or Paypal).
  2. When we develop this sort of connection, we do not locally store or process any of your data; rather, we connect the third-party service directly with the service you are accessing, which is hosted through a third party with which we have no, or limited, contact. Some of our services may provide e-commerce solutions that allow you to purchase goods and services online. Although we develop the means by which financial information may be collected from these services, we do not store or process any information from your financial transactions.

Statistical Analysis

  1. We may perform statistical, demographic, and marketing analysis regarding users and their patterns in using the Website. We use this information for analytical purposes, the results of which we may offer in aggregated, anonymous form to our clients.

We may use aggregate information for any purpose, including for marketing purposes.

Communications

  1. We may send email to the email address you provide to us to verify your account and for informational and operational purposes, such as account management, customer service, or system maintenance.
  2. We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive for tech support, customer service, tell-a-friend, email updates. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

Marketing

  1. We may use your Personal Information to facilitate transmittal of information that may be useful, relevant, valuable or otherwise of interest to you. We use the information we have to improve our advertising and measurement systems so we can show you relevant ads on and off our Website and measure its effectiveness and reach of ads. We do not rent, sell, or share Personal Information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies for their direct marketing purposes.

Aggregate Data

  1. We may anonymize and aggregate data collected regarding use and functioning of our system by our various users. Such aggregated statistical data will be our sole property. We may disclose this information to others, but not in a form that personally identifies you.

Disclosure with Your Consent

  1. We may also share your personal information with third parties when we have your consent to do so.

SECURITY

  1. SecureChat.ai is a security company, and securing your data is important to us. SecureChat.ai uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards. For example, we use a combination of firewalls, authentication, physical security, and other safeguards to protect your account and your data. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number or location-based information) on our website, within the SecureChat.ai app, or in our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure additional layer of security using AES 256. We also perform third-party penetration tests to harden our systems from attack.
  2. Because no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information, data or content that SecureChat.ai receives on your behalf to operate the SecureChat.ai services, or that you transmit to SecureChat.ai. All such receipt or transmission of your information is at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that such information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
  3. If SecureChat.ai learns of a security breach, we will notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. SecureChat.ai will also post a notice on the SecureChat.ai services if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

ENFORCEMENT

  1. We take reasonable precautions to protect personally identifiable information in our possession from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, and we conduct compliance audits of its relevant privacy practices to verify adherence to this Privacy Policy. We try to keep the information we collect from you as current as possible, and we take steps to maintain the security of your personally identifiable information and to prevent unauthorized access to it by those who do not have a legitimate need for it. To that end, we periodically review our security measures. We cannot guarantee, in every circumstance, the security of the personally identifiable information you provide. All incoming encrypted information is routed through our firewall, which serves as a gatekeeper for our system. Only data containing the correct authorization is permitted past the firewall. Attempts to pass the firewall are constantly monitored for suspicious activity.

STORING THE INFORMATION

  1. We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide products and services to you and others, including those described above. Information associated with your account will be kept until your account is deleted, unless we no longer need the data to provide products and services.
  2. Your identifiable information is kept secure. Only authorized employees, agents, and contractors (who have agreed to keep information secure and confidential) have access to this information. We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.

DATA RETENTION POLICY

  1. Our policy is to retain personally identifiable information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide our products and services to you and others or as otherwise required for legal compliance purposes.
