GroupIN Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. Privacy Policy

We provide you with an amazing set of Services that we improve with the information we collect. But we do a lot more as well, such as:

• Provide and deliver the products, services, and functionality that you request, process transactions, and send you related information;
• Communicate with you. That means just what it says; we may send you marketing communications on behalf of us or other companies; respond to your comments and questions; provide customer service; and send you technical notices, security alerts, and other informational messages;
• Monitor and analyse trends and usage;
• Develop, improve, and refine products, services, and functionality;
• Personalize the Services by providing advertisements, content, or features that match user profiles or interests. For instance, when you set up an account, we may pre-populate certain account information based on the information we collect about you from other users;
• Verify your identity and prevent fraud or other unauthorized or illegal activity; and
• Carry out any other purpose for which the information was collected.

Here's the type of information we may share about you with others and how we do so:

• When you send a message, your recipients will see your name and, of course, whatever your message says or shows (whether that's a photo, audio, video, text, or transaction). When you view content that another GroupIN user has sent you, we will let the sender know that you saw it, and if we detect that you captured a screenshot of the message, we will try to let the sender know that. But you're always able to tell us whether you'd like to receive messages only from users you have added to your friends list or whether you'd prefer to receive messages from all GroupIN users. We let you do that as well through various settings.
• When you let us access your device phonebook, we may share information about you with other users who have your phone number in their device phonebook. For instance, when you use Find Friends, we may share your QR code, username and name with other users who use Find Friends and have your phone number in their device phonebook. In these cases, we will not display your phone number to these users, but we will share the fact that your username and name are associated with your phone number.
• When other users view your profile, they will be able to view profile information, including your username and name.
• We may share information about you with service providers who perform services on our behalf.
• With respect to jointly offered Services or functionality or services offered separately by other companies through our Services, we may share information about you with business partners to provide the Services and functionality you request and to communicate with you about those Services;
• We may share information about you in response to legal process or a request for information if we believe disclosure is consistent with, or required by, any applicable law, rule, or regulation; to investigate or remedy potential violations of our user agreements or policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of us, our users, or others; or in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
• We may share information about you with your consent or at your direction, or as otherwise provided in this privacy policy.
• We may also share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you. Here’s just one example of how this could work: Because it’s not always clear whether a new friend request comes from someone you actually know, we may share whether you and the requestor have GroupIN Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. friends in common without disclosing the usernames of those common friends.

The Services may also contain third-party links or be a co-branded or third-party-branded Service that’s being provided jointly with or by another company. By going to those links or by using a co-branded or third-party-branded Service, you may be providing personal information directly to the third party, us, or both. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for how those third parties collect or use your information. As always, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of every third-party website or service that you visit or use, including those third parties you interact with through our Services.

Delete is our default. That means that most messages sent through our Services will be automatically deleted once they have been viewed or have expired And even after we've deleted message data from our servers, that same data may remain in backup for a limited period of time. But -and this is important- you should understand that users who see your messages can always save them, either by taking a screenshot or by using some other image-capture technology (whether that be software or even something as old-fashioned as a camera to take a photo of your device's screen). If we're able to detect that a recipient took a screenshot of a message you sent, we'll try to notify you. But the same common sense that applies to the Internet at large applies to GroupIN as well: Don't send messages that you wouldn't want someone to save or share.

In most cases, once we detect that all recipients have viewed a message, we automatically delete it from our servers. In most cases, the Services are programmed to delete the message from the recipients' device as well. There is, however, an exception to this general rule:

Infinity timer: Senders can choose an infinity timer option to prevent deleting their messages from recipient's device.

A few final words on deletion: We can't guarantee that messages will be deleted within a specific timeframe. You may choose to store it in the cloud storage associated with your subscription plan. And even after we've deleted message data from our servers, that same data may remain in backup for a limited period of time. We also sometimes receive requests from law enforcement requiring us by law to suspend our ordinary server-deletion practices for specific information. Finally, of course, as with any digital information, there may be ways to access messages while still in temporary storage on recipients' devices or, forensically, even after they are deleted.

GroupIN respect the privacy of children under the terms of COPPA. We do not knowingly collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register for the Service. The Service and its content are not directed at children under the age of 13.
