Privacy Policy

Our approach to data collection focuses on gathering only necessary information essential for delivering top-notch app functionality on a large scale. Our intention is to make clear what data we gather, what we don't gather, and how we gather, employ, and store data. We don't compile logs of user activities, including no recording of browsing history, traffic destinations, or DNS queries. Moreover, we never store connection logs such as IP addresses, active IP addresses, connection timestamps, or session durations. We've built our systems to avoid housing sensitive information about you. However, if pressed, we can't provide data we don't possess.

This Privacy Policy outlines the practices of Byte Bloom Studio and its partners ("Byte Bloom Studio," "we," "our," or "us") regarding the collection, usage, and sharing of information concerning your utilization of our services and applications (collectively referred to as the "Services"). This Privacy Policy ("Policy") doesn't pertain to the information you manage while engaging with our Services.

PERSONAL DATA (USER-CONTROLLED OPTION

We intentionally avoid collecting personal data about concealed content in our services. Your accounts remain inaccessible and concealed content isn't revealed, either in whole or part, to us. No online support is provided for concealed content.

As internet data transmission and storage are not infallibly secure, our applications feature non-obligatory log connections. Byte Bloom Studio is not privy to personal information about users, including but not limited to names (real names, usernames, and screen names), addresses (including residential, workplace addresses), and phone numbers, unless the information you provide is dependent on your interactions with us, your privacy settings, and your usage of our app services. With a few exceptions, we generally don't automatically gather any Personal Information from you.

If you initiate direct communication with us, we may receive additional information such as your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message or any potential attachments you might send, along with any other information you choose to provide. We may also receive acknowledgment when you open an email from us.

Byte Bloom Studio employs your email address (if provided based on your choice) for the following purposes:

• To communicate regarding your app-related issues or respond to your queries.

• To send updates and notifications.

• To deliver marketing information, such as BYTE BLOOM STUDIO offers, surveys, promotions, and content related to Byte Bloom Studio ("Marketing emails"). You can opt out of receiving marketing emails by following the unsubscribe procedure outlined in these emails.

Your personal data is exclusively used by Byte Bloom Studio for the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy, and we do not disclose your personal data to third parties without your prior consent.

SERVICE USAGE INFORMATION RELATED TO YOUR APP USAGE

Subject to applicable laws and to prevent infringement of any network access providers, any browsing data, traffic destination, content data, IP addresses, DNS queries, or similar data related to your online activities shared by you with any servers is encrypted, and Byte Bloom Studio never utilizes any such information. Essentially, we don't gather information about the websites you visit or data stored on or transmitted from your device, including data sent by apps on your device through the network. More specifically, Byte Bloom Studio has NO reports/information in this context due to the non-variety of your personal information and the non-availability of the websites you visit or data stored on or transmitted from your device:

• We are unaware of which user ever used a particular application, website, or service.

• We have no knowledge of user activity linked to our app and associated actions.

• We lack knowledge of any user's personal information.

Should anyone seek access to or attempt to compel Byte Bloom Studio to disclose user information based on the above, we cannot provide such information as the data does not exist.

For the sake of fulfilling our legal obligations and ensuring an exceptional app experience, we collect the following information related to your app usage:

Current Location

• To share the user's current location through their messaging apps.

• To determine the user's optimal route from the current location to the destination.

• To identify nearby places (e.g., Hotels, Fuel Stations, ATMs, Banks, etc.) in proximity to the user's current location.

We neither retain nor share the user's current location, route, or any other sensitive information.

ADVERTISING

We do not serve advertisements for the premium version of our services. Moreover, we are pleased to offer ad-supported app services to our users. We collaborate with third-party advertising partners to display ads to users who opt for free app services.

We ensure that our ad targeting does not rely on personal information. Even if you opt for free app services, we do not share your personal information or any user data with advertisers without your prior consent.

However, these advertising partners may establish and access their own

cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies within our services, potentially collecting or accessing information about you over time and across different online services.

JURISDICTION AND APPLICABLE LAW

Protecting your data privacy is central to our mission. In alignment with this mission, Byte Bloom Studio's registered business environment is in Pakistan, where data protection regulations have been incorporated.

Pakistan does not have specific data retention laws and no provisions related to e-discovery or disclosure to new law enforcement agencies. Disclosure of personal information may adhere to this Privacy Policy.

In case required by new law enforcement agencies, Byte Bloom Studio will provide encrypted user data only upon a valid request, court order, or legal directive, which will be served in compliance with the Rules of the Court of Pakistan. Specifically, we anticipate that the legal order, court order, or legal directive might lose its coercive power once it crosses its jurisdiction. It only regains coercive power on the other side of the boundary either through a restraining order (in other state courts) or under the authority of a treaty. Additionally, we will notify affected users of any requests for their account information, unless prohibited from doing so by law or court order. If a valid legal request is received, please note that Byte Bloom Studio does not collect any IP addresses, browsing history, traffic data, or DNS queries that could be used to identify a specific user.

DATA RETENTION

We retain personal data collected from you when there is an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (e.g., to provide requested support or to comply with legal, tax, or accounting obligations).

When there is no longer an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it, or if this is not possible (e.g., because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is feasible.

We maintain records of any correspondence, queries, complaints, or commendations you submit to us, along with our responses. These comprehensive communication records enable us to offer exceptional customer support.

Our communication channels include emails for support communication.

When you interact with us through these emails, your communication records, including your email address and provided additional information, are stored in their systems.

SECURITY MEASURES

Byte Bloom Studio is committed to securing your data. We employ high-level physical, procedural, and technical security measures within our premises and data repositories to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration of data. Access to user data is restricted to staff members requiring such access for their job functions.

Although we consider these systems robust, it is important to note that no data security measures in the world can provide 100% security.

Our staff members are hosted in data centers with stringent security protocols. None of these data centers require us to collect or store any traffic data or personal data related to your use of app services. If any data center were to request that we log such data, we would immediately terminate operations with that data center and explore alternative options.
