Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the GroupChat app.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect or store any personal information from users. No data such as your name, email address, or phone number is collected or stored on our servers.
No Access to Your Phone's Data: We do not access or store any data from your device, such as contacts, photos, or files.
2. Avatar Icon Data
Local Storage of Avatar Icons: Users can upload and customize their avatar icons. These icons are saved locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
No Use of Avatar Data for Advertising: The avatar icon data is used solely for display purposes within the app and is not used for any advertising or external data collection.
3. Chat Data
Messages Are Not Stored: All messages sent within the app are stored temporarily. Once the chat session ends (when the admin closes the app), all chat data is automatically deleted from the server.
Admin Control: The ability to send and receive messages is dependent on whether the group’s admin is online. If the admin is offline or closes the app, members cannot send messages.
No Access to Chat History: No third party has access to your chat history. Your messages are secure and private.
4. Use of AdMob Ads
AdMob Integration: We use AdMob, a service provided by Google, to display advertisements within the app. These ads are displayed to users for free usage of the app.
Collection of Data by AdMob: AdMob may collect certain data, such as your device type, operating system, and usage statistics, to serve personalized ads. However, we do not control this data collection and recommend reviewing AdMob's privacy policy for more details on their data handling practices.
Opting Out of Personalized Ads: Users may opt out of personalized ads by adjusting the settings in their Google account or through AdMob's advertising settings.
5. Data Security
Encryption: All messages are encrypted to prevent unauthorized access or interception. We use end-to-end encryption to ensure that only the sender and recipient can read the messages.
No Data Stored on Our Servers: We do not store any message data or logs on our servers after the session ends. Once the admin closes the app, all data is wiped clean.
6. User Responsibilities
Group Creation: Users are required to create or join an existing group to use the app. Admins have full control over the group chat functionality.
No Unauthorized Access: We recommend that users do not share their group names or access codes with others to prevent unauthorized users from joining.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or services. Any updates will be posted in the app and will be effective immediately upon posting.
