Your privacy is important to ByteBeat Innovators. Sometimes we need information to provide services that you request, this privacy statement applies to ByteBeat Innovators products.

We DO NOT collect, store or use any personal information while you visit, download or upgrade our products. 

We may use personal information submitted by you only for the following purposes: help us develop, deliver, and improve our products and services and supply higher quality service. 

In the following circumstances, we may disclose your personal information according to your wish or regulations by law: 

· (1) Your prior permission;

· (3) By requests from public and governmental authorities;

Non- Personal Information 

We may collect and use non-personal information in the following circumstances. To have a better understanding in user’s behavior, solve problems in products and services, improve our products, services and advertising, we may collect non-personal information such as installed application name and package name, the data of install, frequency of use, country, equipment and channel. 

If non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. 

Information we collect

There are 3 basic categories of information we collect:

• Information you choose to give us.

• Information we get when you use our services.

• Information we get from third parties.

Here’s a little more detail on some of these categories.

Information you choose to give us

When you interact with our services, we collect the information that you choose to share with us. 

Information we get when you use our services

When you use our services, we collect information about which of those services you’ve used and how you’ve used them. We might know, for instance, that you watched a particular Live Story, saw a specific ad for a certain period of time and sent a few Snaps to friends. Here’s a fuller explanation of the types of information we collect when you use our services:

• Usage information. We collect information about your activity through our services. For example, we may collect information about: 

  • how you interact with the services, such as which Filters you view or apply to Snaps, which channels you watch on Discover, or which search queries you submit.

  • how you communicate with other Snap chatters, such as their names, the time and date of your communications, the number of messages you exchange with your friends, which friends you exchange messages with the most, and your interactions with messages (such as when you open a message or capture a screenshot).

• Content information. We collect information about the content you provide, such as if the recipient has viewed the content and the metadata that is provided with the content.

• Device information. We collect device-specific information such as the hardware model, operating system version, advertising identifier, unique application identifiers, unique device identifiers, browser type, language, wireless network and mobile network information (including the mobile phone number).

• Device phone book. Because Snap chat is all about communicating with friends, we may – with your consent – collect information from your device’s phone book.

• Camera and photos. Many of our services require us to collect images and other information from your device’s camera and photos. For example, you won’t be able to send Snaps or upload photos from your camera roll unless we can access your camera or photos.

Information we get from your use of our services 

We may collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, such as when you view and interact with our content. We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information). ByteBeat Innovators will not share that information with third parties. 

Location information 

When you use a location-enabled ByteBeat Innovators service, we may collect and process information about your actual location, like GPS signals sent by a mobile device. We may also use various technologies to determine location, such as sensor data from your device that may, for example, provide information on nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers. 

Unique application numbers 

Certain services include a unique application number. This number and information about your installation (for example, the operating system type and application version number) may be sent to ByteBeat Innovators when you install or uninstall that service or when that service periodically contacts our servers, such as for automatic updates. 

ByteBeat Innovators will occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do so, we will also revise the "last modified" date of the privacy statement.
