Words to know
Legal words from the lines above, in plain English.
- personal data
- Any information that is about you or can be linked to you, from your name to your phone's ID. For example, your email, your IP address and the list of apps on your phone are all personal data.
- de-identified
- Data with your name and obvious identifiers removed, though it can sometimes still be traced back to you. For example, your chats with names stripped out may still be kept and studied after you delete your account.
- third parties
- Any company or person other than you and the app, such as advertisers, partners or analytics firms. For example, an analytics company that receives a record of every screen you tap is a third party.
- retention
- How long a company keeps your data before deleting it. For example, a policy might keep your messages for 30 days after you delete them, or for as long as it likes.
- opt out
- Something is on by default and stays on until you find the setting and turn it off. For example, your chats may be used for training unless you go into settings and switch it off.
- sell or share
- Under California law, selling means passing your data to others for money or other value; sharing means passing it on for targeted ads. For example, letting an ad network use your browsing history in return for ad space counts as a sale.
- CCPA
- California's privacy law, which gives residents the right to see, delete and stop the sale of their data. For example, a Californian can ask the app to stop selling their data and it must comply.
- limitation of liability
- A cap on what the company will ever pay you if something goes wrong, often only what you paid in the last year. For example, if a leak of your data costs you thousands, the most you may get back is a month's subscription fee.
- sensitive personal information
- Data that could hurt you if exposed, like health, religion, sexuality, race, exact location or bank details. For example, telling a chatbot about a medical condition creates sensitive data that some laws protect more strictly.
- targeted advertising
- Ads chosen for you based on what you have done across other apps and websites, not just this one. For example, you look at shoes in one app and see shoe ads in a totally different app the next day.
- service providers
- Outside companies that handle your data on the app's instructions, such as a cloud host or an email sender. For example, the company that stores the app's files in the cloud sees your data but only does what the app tells it.
- affiliates
- Other companies owned by or connected to the same parent company. For example, if you use one app, its sister apps under the same owner may also get your data.

What does the app collect beyond what it needs to work?
They collect more than account and posts: device IDs, IP, previous webpage, searches, photos, age, gender, inferences, and sometimes tax IDs and political opinions.
Does it record your voice, face or body, and what happens to that?
Not stated in the documents.
Are your chats and uploads used to train AI models, and is that off by default?
Not stated in the documents.
Can employees or contractors read your conversations, and when?

Do they sell or share your data, and can you opt out?
They say they may sell or share personal information for ads, and California residents can opt out by email.
What rights do they take over what you type and what the AI makes?
Wallet terms give them an exclusive, perpetual, sublicensable license to any feedback you send. Broader video-content licenses are not in these documents.
How long do they keep your data after you delete it, and can you delete it in the app?
You can edit your profile in the service, but full deletion is by contacting them; they keep data as long as they think they need it.
Does it build a lasting memory or profile of you, and can you see, edit or turn it off?
They collect inferences and profiles of preferences for ads, but they do not describe viewing, editing, or turning that profile off.
Do they commit to basic security, and have they leaked data?
They describe general administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, and say they cannot guarantee security.
Is there a real age gate, and are teens protected?
Privacy says under-18s may not use the service; the wallet requires at least 17 and majority age. No ID check is described.
Will they tell you when the rules change, and is the policy specific?
The privacy policy is dated but may be changed with or without notice; wallet terms treat continued use as acceptance.
Can they close your account without warning, and can you get your data out first?
They may suspend or restrict the wallet for any reason at their sole discretion, including immediately if you violate the terms.
If something goes wrong, who pays?
The wallet is as-is, liability is capped at $100, and you must indemnify them for losses from your use.
Do subscriptions renew on their own, and can you get a refund?
Not stated in the documents.
