This policy sets out our privacy practices and explains how we handle the information we collect when you visit and use our products, mobile apps, sites, services, and content (“Services”).
We collect information about your browser or mobile device (such as device or browser type), information about what Ringa content you access, information you send us (such as your phone number or email address used to register or communicate with us), and referral information.
When you use Ringa Services, we may collect and store your Internet Protocol address and other information that can uniquely identify you. We may use this information to fight spam and other abuse; to personalize Ringa Services; or to generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how people use Ringa Services.
If you connect your Ringa account to a third-party service like Twitter or Facebook, we may collect, store, and periodically update the contact lists associated with that third-party account, so you can connect with existing contacts from that service who are on Ringa.
When you use the App, we may collect the following types of personal information:
Your Account Information. You must provide your mobile phone number, email id and basic information (including a profile name of your choice) to create a ringa account. If you don’t provide us with this information, you will not be able to create an account to use our Services. You can add other information to your account, such as a profile picture.
Your Contacts Information. You must provide access to your contacts to use our services. The contacts data will be used for the purpose of providing the services available on the ringa app, including but not limited to sending the invites, greeting cards, reminders and other digital content that you want to send or share.
Photo & Video Information:We may access and collect your photos and videos to allow you to upload and share them through the App.
We will use the personal information we collect only for the following purposes:
To provide features and functionalities: We may use your contacts to send and share your invites, cards, reminders and photos with other users of the app. And use your photo information to allow you to upload and share images with other users of the App.
To improve the App: We may use the personal information we collect to analyze user behavior, monitor trends, and make improvements to the App.
We will not share your personal information with third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:
With your consent: We may share your personal information with third parties if you have given us your express consent to do so.
As required by law: We may share your personal information if required by law or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations.
For our protection: We may share your personal information if we believe it is necessary to protect our legal rights or to defend against legal claims.
Sometimes we’ll send administrative messages about account or Services changes via text message or email, e.g. when you request to reset your password. It may not be possible to opt out of administrative messages.
You can opt out of most other types of messages, e.g. emails about activity on Ringa.
As a rule, we don’t share your personal information outside the company.
We won’t sell your personal information.
We may share your personal information with third parties in limited circumstances, including: (1) with your consent; (2) to a vendor or partner who meets our data protection standards; or (3) when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process.
If we merge with another company such that your information will become subject to a different privacy policy, we’ll notify you before the transfer. You can opt out of the new policy by deleting your account during the notice period.
We use cookies and similar technologies such as the iOS Keychain to recognize you when you return to our Services. We use them in various ways, for example to log you in, remember your preferences, evaluate email effectiveness, show relevant ads, and personalize information.
Some third-party services that we use, such as Google Analytics, may place their own cookies in your browser. This Privacy Policy covers use of cookies by Ringa only and not the use of cookies by third parties.
Ringa uses third-party vendors and hosting partners, such as Google Cloud Platform, for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run Ringa.
If you have a Ringa account, you can access and modify your personal information, or delete your account in the product.
To protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.
If you delete your account, your account and content may be unrecoverable.
We use encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted to and from our mobile apps and site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk, and you’re responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account.
We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. We store all personal information in a secure environment and limit access to authorized personnel only. However, no security measure is foolproof, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.
Ringa may periodically update this policy. We’ll notify you about significant changes to it.
