1. Introduction

IgiChat (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you when you use the IgiChat app, website, and related services (“Services”).

By using IgiChat, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use IgiChat and the permissions you grant, we may collect:

• Account and profile information: Your name, username, email address, phone number, profile photo, and other details you choose to add.
• Content and communications: Posts, comments, messages, photos, videos, audio, shared media, and information related to calls or other communication features.
• Contacts: If you choose to use contact-related features and grant access, information from your address book may be used to help you find or connect with people.
• Device permissions and content: Camera, microphone, and photo or media library access when you use features that need them, such as taking or sharing media or making calls. You can manage these permissions in your device settings.
• Location information: If you grant location access and use a location-based feature, we may process your location to provide that feature.
• Technical and usage information: Device type, operating system, IP address, app activity, diagnostic information, and interaction data.
• Cookies and similar technologies: When you use our website, these technologies may support site functionality, security, and performance.
• Purchase information: Subscription or purchase status and transaction details needed to provide and verify purchases. Payments are processed by the relevant app store; we do not receive your full payment card details.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain IgiChat and its features.
• Create and manage accounts and connect users.
• Deliver messages, calls, notifications, and shared content.
• Process and verify purchases and subscriptions.
• Protect users, review reports, prevent fraud, and enforce our policies.
• Troubleshoot, secure, and improve the Services.
• Respond to support requests and send service-related notices.
• Meet legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of IgiChat, our users, and others.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

• With service providers that help us operate the Services, such as hosting, storage, communications, notifications, analytics, diagnostics, and payment verification providers.
• With other users, according to the features you use and the audience or privacy settings you choose. Content you post publicly may be visible to others.
• When required by law or valid legal process.
• When reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of IgiChat, our users, or others.
• As part of a business transfer, such as a merger or sale, subject to applicable privacy protections.

5. User Content and Safety

You control what you share through IgiChat, subject to your settings and our Terms of Use. Messages and other content may be processed to deliver the service, protect users, and respond to reports. If you report or block someone, we may process related account and content information to review and act on the report.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain account security, resolve disputes, enforce our policies, and meet legal obligations.

You may request deletion of your account and associated information through available account settings or by contacting us at ashuri1200@gmail.com. Some information may be retained where required by law or reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution.

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing.

You can manage device permissions through your device settings, adjust available account privacy settings, and opt out of non-essential communications where offered. Contact ashuri1200@gmail.com to make a privacy request.

9. International Processing

IgiChat and its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

10. Children’s Privacy

IgiChat is intended for people aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to create or use an account. If you believe a minor is using IgiChat, contact us at ashuri1200@gmail.com so we can review and take appropriate action.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our Services or practices change. We will post the revised policy here and update its effective date. If a change materially affects users, we will provide additional notice where required.
