Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 29th, 2017

This Privacy Policy describes how and when GetVokl, Inc. ("GetVokl") collects, uses, and shares your information when you use our Services. GetVokl receives your information through our Apps and/or websites, to which this Privacy Policy is posted.

1. Information Collection And Use - Information Collected or Received from You

Creating an Account and Profile Information

If you create an account, you will provide us with certain information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, and phone number ("Personally Identifiable Information" or "PII"). We may also collect non-identifying demographic information (such as your gender or date of birth), zip code and other information that is not considered PII because it cannot be used by itself to identify you.

Contacts & Phone Numbers

When you give us authorization, we will access your contacts information from your address book on your mobile device ("Contacts"). We will use your Contacts in order to identify other Users that you may know and to provide you or other Users with suggestions for others Users with whom you or they may want to connect or invite to join a video conversation.

For example, the Services may indicate a Friend that you and one or more participants in a video conversation have in common which you may want to invite to join a video conversation. The Services may also suggest to another User a potential Connection based on mutual contacts.

In addition, if you use your phone number to verify your account, we may use your phone number to suggest to you other Users to add as Friends or suggest you as a potential Friend to other Users based on the Contacts they upload. Note, however, that we will never share your phone number or the phone numbers of third parties in your Contacts with anyone else.

Use of Your Information

Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, to administer your use of the Services (including your account, if you are a User), and to enable you to enjoy and easily navigate our Services. In addition, we may use your information to send you information about our Services, respond to your requests and facilitate your use of the Services. We may also use your information to send you e-mails and materials that directly promote our Services.

Location Information

In addition to profile information, if you choose to enable your computer or mobile device to send us location information we may collect and store information about your location by converting your IP address into a rough geolocation or by accessing your mobile device's GPS coordinates or coarse location. We may use and store information about your location, to provide features of our Services, such as providing location-specific filters and to improve and customize the Services with Content that has been tagged near your location. If you do not want us to collect location information, you may disable that feature on your mobile device.

Cookies

We use "Cookie" technology to collect additional information, including usage data to provide and improve our Services. A Cookie is a small data file that is placed on your computer's hard disk when you access our Services. GetVokl may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to identify that you've logged in to the Services, to better understand how you interact with our Services, to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Services and to customize and improve our Services. Unlike persistent cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Services. Most Internet browsers automatically accept Cookies. If you do not want cookies from GetVokl or other services, you can change your settings to stop accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the services you visit. However, some Services may not function properly if you disable Cookies.

Web Beacons

"Web Beacons" (also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user's hard drive, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).

Log Data

Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Services. Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, location, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, the Users with whom you have video conversations, access date and time spent on features of the Services, your interaction with the Services and Apps and other statistics and Cookie information. We receive Log Data when you interact with our Services, for example, when you visit our websites, sign into our Services, participate in a video conversation. GetVokl uses Log Data to provide our Services and to measure, customize, and improve them. For instance, GetVokl may provide you with recommendations based on your use of the Services.

Information Sent by Your Mobile Device

We collect certain information that your mobile device sends when you use our Services, like a device identifier, user settings and the operating system of your device, as well as information about your use of our Services.

2. Information Sharing And Disclosure

We will not share any PII that we have collected from you or that regards you except as described below:

When you participate in a one-on-one or group video conversation, the content of your communications (including audio and video) will be visible and available to any User participating in that conversation. We encourage you to use your judgment in communicating and sharing information with other Users.

Any other User may view your profile information on the Services, including your name, username and a list of your Friends on the Services, and your name or username may be displayed to other Users as a suggested Friend. In addition, if you are participating in a video conversation, any other User participating in that video conversation may be able to capture a screenshot or record a video of the video conversation that identifies your name and any audio or video that you are sharing.

Information Shared with Service Providers

We engage third-party service providers to perform functions and provide services to us in the United States and abroad. These third-party service providers only have access to your PII for the purpose of performing services on our behalf and are expressly obligated not to disclose or use your PII for any other purpose.

Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transfers

Information that we collect from our users, including PII, is considered to be a business asset. In the event that GetVokl is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or if our assets are acquired by a third party in the event we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, some or all of our assets, including your PII, may be sold or transferred to a third party as part of that transaction.

We may periodically send you free newsletters and e-mails or other messages that directly promote our Services. When you receive such promotional communications from us, you will have the opportunity to "opt-out" by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive. We do need to send you certain communications regarding the Services and you will not be able to opt out of those communications - e.g., communications regarding updates to our Terms of Service or this Privacy Policy.

4. Modifying Your Personal Information

If you are a User, we may provide you with tools and account settings to access or modify your PII associated with your account, such as your profile picture, name, username, email address, and phone number.

We're not responsible for the content, privacy or security practices and policies of any Third-party Service. To protect your information we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all Third-party Services that you access.
