This policy applies to the HiveParty Android application, package com.hiveparty.app, and related HiveParty services.
1. Who we are
HiveParty ("HiveParty," "we," "us," or "our") provides social discovery, live voice rooms, messaging, AI-assisted conversations, profiles, virtual gifts, and related services (the "Services"). For privacy questions or requests, contact axsam685@gmail.com.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Account information: identifiers used to create and secure your account, including a Google account identifier when you choose Google Sign-In, and any phone or credential information you voluntarily bind.
- Profile information: display name, avatar, gender or other profile fields, region and language preferences, bio, social relationships, and account settings.
- User content and communications: room names and descriptions, chat messages, comments, reports, feedback, images, audio you choose to upload, and live voice audio transmitted while you participate in a voice room.
- AI interactions: prompts, messages, selected AI personas, and responses used to provide AI Soul features and maintain conversation history.
- Support and safety information: information included in support requests, complaints, moderation reports, and appeals.
Information collected when you use the Services
- Device and network information: app version, operating system, device model, language, time zone, IP address, network status, diagnostic logs, crash information, and security signals used to detect compromised or abusive devices.
- Activity information: rooms joined, feature interactions, follows, gifts, virtual-item use, login activity, moderation actions, and timestamps.
- Purchase information: product identifier, order identifier, purchase token, price/currency, purchase status, and refund or chargeback status. Google Play processes your payment credentials; HiveParty does not receive or store your full card number or card security code.
- Region information: country or region you select or that is inferred at a coarse level from network and language signals. HiveParty does not request Android precise-location permission for the current release.
Device permissions
HiveParty may request microphone access for live voice rooms and media access when you choose an avatar, image, or audio file. These permissions are used only for the feature you request and can be changed in Android settings. HiveParty removes advertising-ID permissions from its Android build and does not use your advertising ID for targeted advertising.
3. How we use information
- create, authenticate, secure, and maintain your account;
- provide rooms, messaging, profiles, AI Soul, gifts, purchases, and customer support;
- verify Google Play purchases, prevent duplicate crediting, handle refunds, and maintain transaction records;
- personalize language, region, recommendations, and service settings;
- detect fraud, abuse, unsafe content, account compromise, and violations of our Terms;
- debug, analyze, maintain, and improve reliability and performance;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights.
4. Legal bases
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information to perform our contract with you, pursue legitimate interests such as security and service improvement, comply with law, or based on your consent. You may withdraw consent through device settings, in-app controls, or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing already lawfully completed.
5. How information is shared
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose only what is reasonably necessary to:
- Service providers: operate cloud hosting, communications, moderation, analytics, customer support, and security;
- Feature partners: support Google Sign-In and Google Play Billing, live voice infrastructure, and instant messaging. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies;
- Other users: display profile information and content you intentionally make public or share in rooms and conversations;
- Legal and safety recipients: respond to valid legal process, protect users, investigate fraud or abuse, or prevent imminent harm;
- Business successors: support a merger, financing, acquisition, or transfer, subject to continued protection of personal information.
6. International processing
HiveParty and its service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers and honor mandatory rights available in your location.
7. Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the Services and the purposes described above. Account and content data is generally retained while your account is active. Security, transaction, fraud-prevention, and legal records may be retained longer when required by law or reasonably necessary to resolve disputes. After a valid deletion request takes effect, we delete or anonymize eligible data within 30 days, with limited exceptions described in our Account and Data Deletion page.
8. Security
We use access controls, encrypted transport, restricted production credentials, monitoring, and other administrative and technical safeguards. No system is completely secure; please protect your account credentials and report suspected compromise promptly.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent, and may appeal a decision or complain to a data-protection authority. You can update many profile fields in the App. To delete your account, use Settings > Account & Security > Delete Account or follow the external process on our deletion page.
10. Children
The Services are intended only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can investigate and delete it where appropriate.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect product, legal, or security changes. We will publish the updated date here and provide additional notice when required. Material changes do not reduce rights already granted by applicable law.
12. Contact
Email privacy questions and rights requests to axsam685@gmail.com. Include the HiveParty account ID associated with your request, but never email your password, payment-card details, or one-time verification codes.
