In this policy, we list the kinds of information that we collect. Here are some important ones. We collect:
· The information that you give us when you sign up for our Products and create a profile, such as your email address or phone number
· What you do on our Products. This includes what you click on or like, your posts and photos and messages that you send. If you use end-to-end encrypted messaging, we can't read those messages unless users report them to us for review.

The information that we collect and process about you depends on how you use our Products.

When you use our products, we collect some information about you even if you don't have an account.

Partners also share with us their communications with you if they instruct us to provide services to their business, such as helping them manage their communications. To learn how a business processes or shares your information, read their Privacy Policy or contact them directly.
How do we collect or receive this information from partners?
Partners use our business tools, integrations and Buggami Audience Network technologies to share information with us.
These partners collect your information when you visit their site or app or use their services, or through other businesses or organisations they work with. We require partners to have the right to collect, use and share your information before giving it to us.
What if you don't let us collect certain information?
Some information is required for our products to work. Other information is optional, but without it, the quality of your experience might be affected.
What if the information that we collect doesn't identify individuals?
In some cases information is de-identified, aggregated or anonymised by third parties so that it no longer identifies individuals before it's made available to us. We use this information as described below without trying to re-identify individuals.
How do we use your information?
Key Points:
Here are some of the ways we use your information:
· We personalise your experience, for instance by suggesting reels to watch or communities to join
· We improve our Products by applying information about what you use them to do, and what else is happening on your device when our app crashes

· We research for the good of people around the world, for instance to advance technology or to help out in a crisis
We use information we collect to provide a personalised experience to you, including ads, along with the other purposes that we explain in detail below.
For some of these purposes, we use information across our Products and across your devices. The information that we use for these purposes is automatically processed by our systems. But in some cases, we also use manual review to access and review your information.
To use less information that's connected to individual users, in some cases we de-identify or aggregate information or anonymise it so that it no longer identifies you. We use this information in the same ways we use your information as described in this section.
Here are the ways we use your information:
To provide, personalise and improve our Products
We use information we have to provide and improve our Products. This includes personalising features, content and recommendations, such as your Buggami Feed, Bugga-Messenger feed, Stories and ads. We use information with special protections that you choose to provide for these purposes, but not to show you ads.

People and accounts that you share and communicate with

Content that others share or reshare about you.
Who can see or reshare your content
People in your audience can view your content and can choose to share it with others outside your audience, on and off our products. For example, when you share a post or send a message to specific friends, they can download, screenshot or reshare it with anyone, on, across or off our products.
When you comment on a post or react to a photo, your comment or reaction can be seen by anyone who can see the post or photo. This can include people who you aren't connected to. The person who shared the post can also change their audience at any time after you've interacted with it.

People who use our products can share information about you with the audience they choose. For example, they can:
· Share a photo or video of you in a post, comment, story, reel or message

Some of your information and activity are always public. This includes your name, Buggami and Bugga-Messenger username, profile picture and activity on public Buggami Pages and groups.
Other content you can choose to set to Public, such as posts, photos and videos you post to your profile, stories or reels.
Who can see public content?
When content is public, it can be seen by anyone on or across our products, and in some cases off our products, even if they don't have an account.
For example, if you comment on Marketplace, a public Buggami Page or a public Bugga-Messenger account, or if you leave a rating or review, your comment, rating or review will be visible to anyone. It could appear in any of our products or be seen by anyone, including off our products.
Where can public content be shared?
We, you and people using our products can send public content (e.g. your profile photo or information that you share on a Buggami Page or public Bugga-Messenger account) to anyone on, across or off our products. For example, users can share it in a public forum, or it can appear in search results on the Internet.
Public content can also be seen, accessed, reshared or downloaded through third-party services, such as:
· APIs
· The media, like TV
· Other apps and websites connected to our products
With integrated partners
You can choose to connect with integrated partners who use our Products. If you do, these integrated partners receive information about you and your activity.
These integrated partners can always access information that's public on our Products. Learn more about other information they receive and how they handle your information:
When you use an integrated partner's product or service
Information they receive automatically
When you use an integrated partner's products or services, they can access:
· What you post or share from these products or services
· What you use their services to do
· Information from and about the device you're using
· The language setting that you've chosen on our Products
Information they receive with your permission
Sometimes these integrated partners ask you for permission to access certain additional information from your Buggami, Bugga-Messenger or Messenger account. In their request, they'll explain what information they'd like to access and let you choose whether to share it.
On Buggami, this includes things such as your email address, home town or birthday. On Bugga-Messenger, this includes content such as photos and videos that you've shared from your account when the account was set to private.
We automatically log when you receive a request from an integrated partner to access your information. These requests to access information are separate from the apps and websites access that you manage in your Buggami or Bugga-Messenger ad settings or in your mobile device settings.
How long they can access your information
Apps or websites that you've logged in to using Buggami Login or connected to your Bugga-Messenger account can access your non-public information on Buggami Products unless it appears to us that you haven't used the app or website in 90 days. Note that even if an app's access to your information has expired, it can still retain information that you shared with it previously.
We encourage you to visit your apps and websites settings from time to time to review which apps and websites continue to have access to your information through Buggami Login or Bugga-Messenger.
When you interact with someone else's content on an integrated partner's product or service
Integrated partners receive information about your activity when you interact with other Buggami, Bugga-Messenger or Messenger users while they're using the integrated partner's product or service.
For example, a gamer livestreams to Buggami using a partner app. Then you comment on that live-stream. The app developer will receive information about your comment.
How integrated partners handle your information
Integrated partners handle the information that you share with them according to their own terms and policies, not Buggami's. You can review their Privacy Policy on their website or app to learn how they receive and process your information. In some cases, they use a separate service provider to receive and process your information.
How do we share information with third parties?
Key Points:
We share certain information with:
· Advertisers who show ads on our Products
· Businesses we hire to market our Products for us
· Businesses we hire to do things such as offer customer service or conduct surveys
· Researchers who use it to do things such as innovate, advance technology or improve people's safety
We don't sell your information and we never will.
We don't sell any of your information to anyone and we never will. We also require partners and other third parties to follow rules about how they can and cannot use and disclose the information that we provide.
Here's more detail about who we share information with:
Partners
Advertisers and Audience Network publishers
Advertisers
We provide advertisers with reports about the number and kinds of people who see and engage with their ads and commercial content. These reports include information about the general demographics and interests of people who engaged with an advertiser's ad or commercial content. Then advertisers can better understand their audience.
Buggami also provides advertisers and their vendors with information about:
· Ads and commercial content people engaged with, if any
· When people engaged with ads and commercial content
· Where that ad or commercial content was shown (e.g. on Buggami.com or on Bugga-Messenger)
We also confirm which ads or commercial content you viewed that led you to take an action with an advertiser, such as downloading an advertiser's app. But we don't share information with these advertisers and their vendors that by itself can be used to contact or identify you, such as your name or email address, unless you give us permission.
Audience Network publishers and their vendors
Buggami Audience Network lets advertisers place ads with us that will be published on other apps and websites outside of Buggami.
To help show you ads on their apps and websites, we share information with publishers who use Audience Network, as well as vendors who facilitate that use. For example, we share:
· How many people see and engage with ads on publisher apps
· Information related to or in response to a publisher's request to serve an ad on its app.
But we don't share information with these publishers and their vendors that by itself can be used to contact or identify you, such as your name or email address, unless you give us permission.
Partners who use our analytics services
People rely on our Products, such as business accounts, professional tools and Buggami Pages, to run and promote their businesses. Businesses use our analytics services to understand more about how people are using their content, features, products and services.
To provide these services, we use the information that we collect about you. We put this information into aggregate reports so that partners can see how well their content, features, products and services are performing and are able to understand things such as users' experience with such content, products and services.
These reports aggregate information such as:
· How many people interacted with our partners' content, products or services
· The general demographics and interests of the people who interacted with it
· How people use our partners' products and services to connect to Buggami Products and the performance of their connection and networks
Advertisers also receive other information. Read our policy about how we share information with advertisers.
Partners who offer goods or services on our Products and commerce services platforms
When you choose to make a transaction, or otherwise choose to share information with a seller, creator, fundraiser, charity, payment services provider or commerce services platform, we share information with them and with any providers acting on their behalf.
Depending on how you interact with them, they receive:
· Information to complete your transaction, such as order, payment, contact and delivery information
· Information to help ensure the security of the transaction, such as information about your device or connection
· Any information required by applicable regulation
· Other information that you choose to share with them
For example, if you make a purchase from an Bugga-Messenger shop using checkout, the shop will receive information to complete your transaction. This may include your order items, your contact details and delivery information. If the shop uses a payment services provider, such as PayPal, to facilitate the transaction, the provider will receive the transaction amount, a transaction description (to appear on your credit card statement) and your payment card information, such as cardholder name, card number, expiry date and billing address. Learn more about payments on Bugga-Messenger.
Integrated partners
When you choose to use integrated partners' products or services, they may receive information about you and your activity. Read the policy.
Vendors
Measurement vendors
We don't create every measurement and analytics report ourselves.
We share information (such as whether people saw an ad or engaged with it) with our measurement vendors, who aggregate it to provide their reports.
For example, an advertiser might ask a measurement vendor to help work out the impact that its ads on Buggami have had on sales. The measurement vendor compares information from us about clicks on the advertiser's Buggami ads with information from the advertiser about product purchases. Then the measurement vendor creates and provides aggregated reports that show the advertiser how its ads are performing.
Marketing vendors
We share information about you with marketing vendors. For example, we share your device identifier or other identifiers with marketing vendors to help us serve you ads most relevant to your interests.
Marketing vendors support our marketing and advertising efforts by:
· Serving our advertisements across the internet, including on mobile, desktop and connected television devices
· Tracking and categorising your online and mobile app activity
· Providing us information about your interests and community and advertising interactions
These marketing vendors help us understand who might find our advertising most relevant to their interests, and which of our Products might interest you. This information can be used to personalise which of our ads are shown to you. Marketing vendors also use this information to measure response to our marketing efforts and the effectiveness of our advertising.
Learn more about how to manage the Buggami ads that you see off our Products.
Service providers
Service providers provide services to us that help us provide our Products to you. We share the information we have about you to receive these services, which include:
· Investigating suspicious activity
· Detecting and stopping threats to our personnel and property

· Providing customer support
· Improving the functionality of our Products
· Providing technical infrastructure services

Other third parties
We also share information with other third parties in response to legal requests, to comply with applicable law or to prevent harm. Read the policy.
And if we sell or transfer all or part of our business to someone else, in some cases we'll give the new owner your information as part of that transaction, but only as the law allows.

In some instances and for specific reasons, we'll keep information for an extended period of time. Read our policy about when we may preserve your information.
How do we transfer information?
Key Points:
· Because we connect people all around the world, we need to transfer information all around the world too
· When we do this, we follow international regulations to keep your information safe
Why is information transferred to other countries?
We share the information that we collect globally, both internally across our offices and data centres, and externally with our partners, measurement vendors, service providers and other third parties. Because Buggami is global, with users, partners and employees around the world, transfers are necessary for a variety of reasons, including:

How do we safeguard your information?
We rely on appropriate mechanisms for international data transfers.
We also make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place whenever we transfer your information. For example, we encrypt your information when it's in transit over public networks to protect it from unauthorised access.
How do we respond to legal requests, comply with applicable law and prevent harm?
Key Points:
· Sometimes we have to provide information to respond to legal requests when necessary
· If there's a law that says we need to keep your information for some reason, we need to comply with it. So we'll keep information to obey that law.
· We also sometimes keep information that we think will help prevent or stop bad activity, either on our Products or in the world
We access, preserve, use and share your information:
· In response to legal requests, such as search warrants, court orders, production orders or subpoenas. These requests come from third parties such as civil litigants, law enforcement and other government authorities. Learn more about when we respond to legal requests.
· In accordance with applicable law
