Contact Sharing Feature
We are introducing a new feature that allows users to share content with their friends directly through our service. It's important for us to clarify how this feature aligns with our stringent privacy standards:
No Personal Information Collection: When you use our contact sharing feature, our company does not collect, store, or process any personal information from your device. The sharing process is designed to operate without the need for our servers to access or retain any contact information or personal data.
User-Driven Sharing: The feature is entirely user-driven. You have full control over the content you choose to share and with whom you share it. Our role is limited to facilitating the secure transmission of the content you wish to share, without accessing or retaining any personal information.
No Third-Party Access: No third-party services are involved in the contact sharing process. This ensures that your data remains confidential and is not shared with any external entities.
Security and Anonymity: The sharing feature is designed with your security and anonymity in mind. Since no personal information is collected, your identity and the identity of your contacts remain protected at all times during the use of this feature.
Voluntary Use: The use of the contact sharing feature is completely voluntary. You can choose to use this feature at your discretion without impacting your use of other services we offer.
Commitment to Privacy: This feature is consistent with our commitment to privacy, as outlined in our privacy policy. We continue to uphold the highest standards of data protection and user confidentiality.

Additionally, we are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by third-party websites. Therefore, we suggest that you examine the privacy statements of those sites to learn how your information may be collected, used, shared, and disclosed.
