Vooyai Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. Vooyai's policy is to respect your privacy and comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including on our website, https://vooyai.com and other sites we own and operate.

Personal information is any information about you that can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as an individual (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment data, and even information about how you use a website or online service.

If our site contains links to third-party sites and services, please note that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their published privacy policy information on how they collect and use personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after leaving our site.

This policy is effective as of June 19, 2023.

Last Updated: June 19, 2023

Information We Collect

The information we collect is classified into one of two categories: "voluntarily provided" information and "automatically collected" information.

"Voluntarily provided" information refers to any information you consciously and actively provide to us when using or participating in any of our services and promotions.

"Automatically collected" information refers to any information automatically sent by your devices during your access to our products and services.

Log Data

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically record standard data provided by your web browser. This may include your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other details about your visit.

In addition, if you encounter certain errors while using the site, we may automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding the incident. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error occurred, and other technical information related to the problem. You may or may not receive notice of such errors, even at the time they occur, informing you that they have occurred or what the nature of the error is.

Please note that while this information may not personally identify you on its own, it may be possible to combine it with other data to personally identify individual people.

Personal Information

We may request personal information - for example, when you submit content or when you contact us - which may include one or more of the following data:

User-Generated Content

We consider "user-generated content" to include materials (text, images, and/or video content) voluntarily provided by our users for publication on our website or for republication on our social media channels. All user-generated content is linked to the account or email address used to submit the materials.

Please note that any content you submit for publication will be public after publication (and its subsequent review or evaluation process). Once published, it may be accessible to third parties not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Legitimate Reasons for Processing Your Personal Information

We only collect and use your personal information when we have a legitimate reason to do so. In which case, we only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to provide our services to you.

Collection and Use of Information

We may collect personally identifiable information provided by you when you perform any of the following actions on our website:

We may collect, retain, use, and disclose information for the following purposes, and personal information will not be further processed in any way that is incompatible with these purposes:

We may combine voluntarily provided personal information and automatically collected information with general information or research data that we receive from other reliable sources. For example, our marketing and market research activities may uncover data and insights that we can combine with information about how visitors use our site to improve our site and your experience on it.

Security of Your Personal Information

When we collect and process personal information, and while we retain this information, we will protect it using commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.

While we will do our best to protect the personal information you provide to us, we inform you that no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, and no one can guarantee the absolute security of data.

You are responsible for selecting a password and an overall security level, upon which the security of your own information within the limits of our services will depend. For example, you should ensure that passwords associated with accessing your personal information and accounts are secure and confidential.

How Long We Retain Your Personal Information

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary. This time period may depend on what we are using your information for, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For example, if you have provided us with personal information as part of creating an account with us, we may retain this information as long as your account exists in our system. If your personal information is no longer necessary for this purpose, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.

However, we may retain your personal information if we need it to comply with a legal, accounting, or reporting obligation, or for archival, public interest, scientific, or historical research, or statistical purposes.

Children's Privacy

None of our products and services are directed specifically to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under 13 years of age.
