1. Who we are
Dodo ("Dodo", "we", "us") is a social app for chatting, live streaming, voice rooms and video parties, operated by CFE Solutions Limited. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using Dodo you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
2. Information we collect
A. Account information
- Username, email address and password (stored only in encrypted/hashed form).
- Display name, and optionally a bio, profile photo, country and gender.
- If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address from Google.
- If you sign in with Apple, we receive your name and email address from Apple. You can choose to hide your email, in which case Apple gives us a private relay address.
B. Content you create and share
- Chat messages, voice notes, photos, videos, stories (which disappear after 24 hours), live streams, audio rooms and video-party activity, and gifts.
- Photos and videos you upload are stored on our servers so they can be delivered to the people you share them with, and are processed only to provide the features you use (such as editing).
C. Private messages and calls
- Private messages are end-to-end encrypted. Only you and the people you message can read them; Dodo cannot read or decrypt them. We store your public encryption key and the encrypted message data needed to deliver messages.
- Voice and video calls are sent directly between devices where possible and are encrypted in transit. Because calls connect devices to each other, the other participant's device may see your IP address.
D. Social and activity information
- Who you follow and who follows you, friend and chat requests, group memberships, and the users you block.
- Reports you make about other users, and reports made about you.
E. Wallet and purchases
- Your coins and diamonds balance, gifts sent and received, marketplace purchases and sales, and rewards earned for watching ads.
F. Device and technical information
- Device model, operating system and version, app version, IP address, crash and diagnostic information, and server logs.
- A push-notification token, if you allow notifications, so we can alert you to messages, calls, gifts and requests.
G. Advertising information
- Dodo shows ads using Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers and information about how you interact with ads in order to deliver, measure and protect ads. We ask AdMob to show non-personalised ads. See Google's policy at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
3. Permissions the app asks for
- Camera: to take photos and videos, make video calls and go live.
- Microphone: for voice notes, calls, voice rooms and live streams.
- Photo library: to choose photos and videos to share, and to save media to your device.
- Notifications: for messages, calls, gifts and requests.
Each permission is optional and you can change it at any time in your device settings. Some features will not work without the related permission. Dodo does not access your contacts.
4. How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and sign you in.
- To deliver messages, calls, streams, stories and gifts, and to show your profile and public content to other users.
- To run the coin, gift, marketplace and reward features.
- To show and measure ads.
- To keep Dodo safe: detect fraud and abuse, review reports, remove objectionable content and ban abusive accounts.
- To send notifications you have allowed, provide support, and meet legal obligations.
- To fix bugs and improve reliability and performance.
We do not use your private messages or private media for advertising.
5. Safety, user-generated content and moderation
- Dodo has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. This includes harassment, hate, sexual content, content involving minors, graphic violence, illegal activity, spam and impersonation.
- You can report any user from their profile and block anyone who is abusive. Blocking takes effect immediately: the blocked person cannot message or gift you and you will not see each other's stories or live streams. Blocking also alerts our moderators.
- Our moderators review reports and act on them, which may include removing content, suspending or permanently banning accounts, and reporting illegal activity to the authorities. We aim to review reports within 24 hours.
- Display names, bios and stream titles are automatically checked for objectionable language.
- To do this we keep records of reports, blocks and moderation actions.
6. Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Other users: your profile and content you choose to make visible (for example your username, display name, photo, bio, streams and stories).
- Service providers that help us run Dodo: cloud hosting and storage, Google (sign-in and AdMob advertising), Apple (sign-in and push notifications), and security and support providers. They may only use the information to provide their services to us.
- Authorities and others, when required by law or to protect the safety and rights of users, the public or Dodo.
- A successor, if Dodo is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. We would tell you before your information became subject to a different policy.
7. Data retention and deleting your account
- You can delete your account at any time inside the app: open the menu and choose Delete account.
- When you delete your account we remove your profile details (name, email, photo, bio, country, gender), your followers and blocks, your stories, and your sign-in links, and the account can no longer be used. Messages are encrypted and cannot be read without your keys. Coins and diamonds are forfeited.
- We may keep limited records in anonymised form, or where we are legally required to, for fraud prevention, safety, dispute resolution and legal compliance, such as reports and moderation records and transaction records.
- Stories stop being visible to others after 24 hours. Other information is kept for as long as your account exists or as needed to provide the service.
8. Your rights and choices
- You can view and edit your profile in the app, change device permissions, turn off notifications, and delete your account.
- Depending on where you live (including the UK and EEA, and California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our use of your personal information, to receive a copy of it, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the time required by law.
- If you are in the UK or EEA you may also complain to your data protection authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
9. Children
Dodo is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to use Dodo. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
We protect your information with encrypted connections, hashed passwords, end-to-end encryption for private messages, access controls and monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong password and keep it private.
11. International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal information from the UK or EEA, we use appropriate safeguards required by law.
12. Third-party services
Dodo uses Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, Google AdMob, and Apple push notifications. These providers have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app. Continued use of Dodo after a change means you accept the updated policy.
