Zangi Messenger iOS and Android Applications Privacy Policy
LICENSED APPLICATION END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Secret Phone Inc. ("Zangi" or "we" or "us" or
"our" or other similar pronouns) offers users with mobile devices
("You") calling and text messages services ("Services") transacted
through a licensed application (“Licensed Application") for mobile
devices. Our Licensed Application is licensed, not sold, to You for
use only under the terms of this license, unless a product or
service is accompanied by a separate license agreement, in which
case the terms of that separate license agreement will govern,
subject to Your prior acceptance of that separate license
agreement. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to You.
1.
Scope of License
This license granted to You for our Licensed Application is
limited to a non-transferable license to use the Licensed
Application on any mobile device that You own or control and as
permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in our Terms and Conditions
(the “Usage Rules”). This license does not allow You to use the
Licensed Application on any mobile device that You do not own or
control, and You may not distribute or make the Licensed
Application available over a network where it could be used by
multiple mobile devices at the same time. You may not rent, lease,
lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Licensed Application.
You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this license and
the Usage Rules), decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt
to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of
the Licensed Application, any updates, or any part thereof (except
as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited
by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the
licensing terms governing use of any open sourced components
included with the Licensed Application). Any attempt to do so is a
violation of our rights. If You breach this restriction, You may be
subject to prosecution and damages. The terms of the license will
govern any upgrades provided by us that replace and/or supplement
our Services, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate
license in which case the terms of that license will govern.
2.
Consent to Use of Data
You agree that we may collect and use technical data and related
information, including but not limited to technical information
about Your mobile device, system and application software, and
peripherals, that is gathered periodically to facilitate the
provision of software updates, product support and other services
to You (if any) related to the Licensed Application. We may use
this information, as long as it is in a form that does not
personally identify You, to improve our Services offered to You
(for further information on our privacy policy click here).
3.
What data Zangi Messenger app collects and how it is used
User privacy is our mission, therefore we have done our best to avoid any personal or private data collection. However, some optional features like user Profile (Name/ Surname/ Photo) and Invite "Friends via SMS" / "Invite" in Contacts need some data access to fulfill their operations:
3.1 User Profile name Name/ Surname/ Photo (Optional): users can choose to skip adding their Name/ Surname/ Photo in their Profile and communicate absolutely anonymously, but when filled out, they are to be aware that the Name/ Surname/ Photo in Zangi Messenger Profile is shared with other Zangi users, to whom the user has shared his/her Zangi Private number with. How? When you call or message each other, Zangi shows the Name/ Surname / Photo of the sender in the conversation/ push/ call screen. None of the listed is shared to any 3rd party outside of the Zangi Messenger system.
How to delete your Profile name Name/ Surname/ Photo? Just remove the data from your App Profile Section by tapping on the Edit icon. This data will also be removed when the user deletes his/her Zangi account from the Zangi Messenger Settings → Privacy → Delete account.
3.2 Copying the user's Phone book Contacts (Optional, with user Consent) within the same device into Zangi Messenger's Contacts section located on the same device, NOT leaving the user's device storage, NOT sent to the servers, NOT shared to 3rd parties: In order to use the features "Invite Friends” → “Invite By SMS" and "Invite" → “Invite By SMS” in Zangi Messenger, users need their Phone Book Contacts to send invitations. To copy a user's Phone Book contacts into Zangi Messenger app’s Contact section, located on the user’s phone storage, the app will ask the user for permission within a pop-up, explaining the usage and with the options to Accept or Decline. This will happen when the user has just installed the app and has tapped on "Invite Friends” and chosen “Invite By SMS", or after they've tapped “Continue” when navigating to the Contact’s tab, or if the user has chosen “Decline” and then has tried to use one of the listed features or Contacts.
“Accept” will mean giving Consent to a local copy of user's Phone Book contacts into Zangi Messenger app’s Contact section one time, and to maintain runtime synchronization of your contacts, i.e., whenever you add/remove a contact from your Phone book, allow Zangi Messenger App do the same in the Zangi Messenger's Contacts section, not bothering the user by asking the same question every time they sync runtime.
“Decline” will mean there will be no phone Book Contacts to send invites to. The app's Contacts tab's “All contacts” section will remain blank, while Zangi contacts (Zangi virtual numbers) with whom you have interacted via Zangi messenger may appear in the Contact tab “Zangi Contacts” section.
What if you have changed your mind about Contact permission? Let's say you gave permission one time then changed your mind, how to revert? Navigate to your phone’s App section, search for “Zangi Messenger” → Permissions → and remove the Contacts permission, then save. This action won’t remove already copied contacts from the App Contacts section (it’s a local copy never leaving your device), but it will prevent runtime synchronization with your phone book contacts. Next time you use any of the above-listed features, the App will ask for permission again.
How to delete “All Contacts” from your Zangi Messenger App: it is a local copy, so you can delete only when deleting the app or deleting your account from Zangi Messenger → Settings → Privacy → Delete account, which will remove your account from the system completely, as well as you App data from local device.
4.
Termination
The license is effective until terminated by You or us. We will
terminate your rights under this license without notice if You fail
to comply with any term(s) of this license. Upon termination of the
license, You shall cease all use of the Licensed Application, and
destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Licensed Application.
