I. INTRODUCTION.

Wegital HK Limited (“we,” “us” or “our”) understand that our users care about how their personal information is used and shared. We work hard to protect your information and take your privacy seriously.

This Privacy Policy explains our data protection policy and describes the types of information we may process when you visit our website www.aichatting.net (the "Website"), install and/or use "AI Chatting" software application for mobile devices (the “App”, “our App”), and more generally, use any of our services (the "Services", which include the Website and App).

Our Privacy Policy applies to all users, and others who access the Services (“Users”).

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PRIVACY POLICY, FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE WAYS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED, CAREFULLY. WHEN YOU USE THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF THERE ARE ANY TERMS IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH, PLEASE DISCONTINUE THE USE OF OUR SERVICES.

II. INFORMATION WE PROCESS

There are several categories of information that can be processed.

Functional Information

We ask for and process the following information when you use the Services. This information is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract between you and us. Without such information it is impossible to provide complete functionality of the Services and perform the requested services.

User Content (i. e. the text you enter into the message field and send to the Services, as well as any text, other content generated by AI via the Services). Subject to your compliance with certain rules and restrictions outlined in our Terms of Service, you may dispose of, use, share, otherwise exploit your User Content for your own purposes. However, any use of User Content is at your sole risk, i. e. you assume and bear all risks and responsibility associated with your use of User Content. It is your sole responsibility to ensure compliance with the applicable laws while using the User Content. Please note that we engage the third-party service provider - OpenAI, L.L.C. - for the purpose of processing and creation of AI-generated User Content. Please check Section IV to learn more about the privacy policy and practices of OpenAI, L.L.C.
Contact Information and other information you provide to us (name, e-mail address, as well as any other content) which you may fill in by yourself when you set up an account or profile on the Services or contact us via email or other means. We use such information to respond effectively to your inquiry, fulfill your requests, send you communications that you request and perform the requested services.
Third-Party Account Login Data
We may provide you with the option to register and login using your third-party account details (like your Google, Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your third-party account service provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the third-party account service provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture as well as other information you choose to make public on such third-party platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this Privacy Policy or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party account service provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

Information That Is Processed Automatically

When you use the Services, some information about your device and your user behavior may be processed automatically. This information is generally non-personal, i.e. it does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual, and we may access it only in aggregated form. We process this information on the ground of our legitimate interest in improving our Services and giving our users the best experience. If we do not access such data we may not be able to provide you with all the features of the Services.

We use third-party automatic data processing technologies to analyze certain information sent by your device via our Services (advertising or analytics tools). Some of them launch automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, which means any form of automated processing of personal data used to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to you, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning your personal preferences, interests, behavior, location or movements (see the list of data described below). Processing information through automatic data processing technologies starts automatically when you first time use the Services.

Device Details. When you use a mobile device to access our Services, some of the details about your device are reported, including “device identifiers”. Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device (but not your personality). Device identifier enables generalized reporting or personalized content and ads by the third parties.
What data can be processed:
- Information about the device itself: type of your device, type of operating system and its version, model and manufacturer, screen size, screen density, orientation, audio volume and battery, device memory usage.
- Information about the Internet connection: mobile carrier, network provider, network type, IP address, timestamp and duration of sessions, speed, browser.
- Location-related information: IP address, the country code/ region/ state/ city associated with your SIM card or your device, language setting, time zone. We may collect information about your location when you use our Services. Your location can be determined by GPS, IP address, sensor data from your device, information about things near your device, such as Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, and Bluetooth-enabled devices.
- Device identifiers: Identity For Advertisers for iOS devices/ Advertising ID or Android ID for Android devices, user identifiers.
Information about the applications. Name, API key (identifier for application), version, properties of our App can be reported for automated processing and analysis. Some services also record the list of applications and/or processes which are installed or run on your device.
Cookies and similar technologies. When you use the Services, cookies and similar technologies may be used (pixels, web beacons, scripts). A cookie is a text file containing small amounts of information which is downloaded to your device when you access the Services. The text file is then sent back to the server each time you use the Services. This enables us to operate the Services more effectively. For example, we will know how many users access specific areas or features within our Services and which links or ads they clicked on. We use this aggregated information to understand and optimize how our Services is used, improve our marketing efforts, and provide content and features that are of interest to you. We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to the Services, which may use cookies or similar technologies. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features.
Log file information. Log file information is automatically reported each time you make a request to access the Services. It can also be provided when the App is installed on your device. When you use our Services, analytics tools automatically record certain log file information, including time and date when you start and stop using the Services, and how you interact with the Services.
Ad-related information. The following data might be reported about the ads you can view: the date and time a particular ad is served; a record if that ad was “clicked” or if it was shown as a “conversion” event; what the ad offer is about; what type of ad it is (e.g., text, image, or video); which ad placement is involved (where the ad offer is displayed within the Services); whether you respond to the ad.
In-App events. When you use our App, analytics tools automatically record in-App information (tutorial steps, leveling up, payments, in-app purchases, custom events, progression events, method of limiting the processing of user data).

Information provided automatically to advertising or analytics tools does not generally come to our control, therefore we cannot be responsible for processing such information. Please mind that some services are engaged in personal data profiling and may obtain information related to your personality and/or your device by using technologies that do not belong to our scope of responsibility. We do not control, supervise or stand surety for how the third parties process your personal data, that might be collected by their own means (not through our Services). Any information request regarding the disclosure of your personal information should be directed to such third parties (see Section IV).

Payment Information

Our e-commerce provider (Google Play Store or App Store) is responsible for billing, processing and charging for in-app purchases, handles your personal information and keeps it absolutely safe and secure. This information is processed as part of the performance of the contract between you and us. We cannot access or use your credit or debit card information.

You may access the applicable “in-app” purchase rules and policies directly from the app stores.

The security of your personal information is highly important to us.

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information.

We work hard to protect you from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information we hold, including:

We use encryption to keep your data private while in transit.
We review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems.
We restrict access to personal information to our employees, contractors, and agents who need that information in order to process it. Anyone with this access is subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.

Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We do our best to protect your personal data, nevertheless, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event that your personal information is compromised as a breach of security, we will promptly notify you in compliance with applicable law.

We consider a user to be a child if they are under the age of 18, unless more stringent regulation applies in their country of residence. In EU countries, users under the age of 16 are considered children, unless the data protection regulation of their country of residence specifies another age.
