Introduction

Dialect Labs, Inc. ("Company" or "We") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This policy describes:

The types of information we may collect or that you may provide when you download, install, register with, access, or use the Dialect: Wallet Chat application, Dialect consumer products, or any Dialect chat app(s) (collectively, the "App").
Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

This policy applies only to information we collect in this App, through chatbot(s), and in email, text, and other electronic communications sent in connection with this App.

This policy DOES NOT apply to information that:

We collect offline or on any other Company apps or websites, including websites you may access through this App.
You provide to or is collected by any third party (see Third-Party Information Collection).
Information involving third-party apps, services, or public blockchains (other than the chatbot(s)).

Our websites and apps, and these other third parties may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not download, register with, or use this App. By downloading, registering with, or using this App, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy). Your continued use of this App after we revise this policy means you accept those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Individuals Under the Age of 18

The App is not intended for children under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at hello@dialect.to.

California residents under 16 years of age may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information. Please see Your State Privacy Rights for more information.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We collect information from and about users of our App:

Directly from you when you provide it to us.
Automatically when you use the App.

Information You Provide to Us

When you download, register with, or use this App, we may ask you provide information -- either now or in the future, as other functionality and features of the App emerge:

By which you may be personally identified, such as name, email address, phone number, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted ("personal information").
That is about you but individually does not identify you.

This information includes:

Information that you provide by filling in forms in the App. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use the App, posting material, and requesting further services. We may also ask you for information when you enter a contest or promotion sponsored by us, and when you report a problem with the App.
Content and contacts that you supply through any features of the App.
Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses and phone numbers), if you contact us.

Your search queries on the App.

You may also provide information for publication or display ("Posted") on public areas of the app or websites you access through the App (collectively, "User Contributions"). Your User Contributions are Posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of third parties with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

Certain experimental (Beta Program) features, such as External Links and Smart Messages, may require the submission or transfer of other user data, and may entail heightened risks, as described in the Terms of Service.

Automatic Information Collection

When you download, access, and use the App, it may use technology to automatically collect:

If you do not want us to collect this information do not download the App or delete it from your device.

Third-Party Information Collection

When you use the App or its content, certain third parties may use automatic information collection technologies, public blockchain networks, or other public sources to collect information about you or your device. These third parties may include:

Advertisers, ad networks, and ad servers.
Analytics companies.

They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

We do not control these third parties' tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

In addition, we may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide:

To our subsidiaries and affiliates.
To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business.

With your consent.

Your State Privacy Rights

State consumer privacy laws may provide their residents with additional rights regarding our use of their personal information. To learn more about California residents' general privacy rights, visit https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.

Encryption Keys

By using this App, you acknowledge and agree that use of the App may require the use or generation of an encryption key (“Encryption Key”) that may be stored locally on your mobile device and that may provide access to valuable content, connected wallets, and other assets or services. You are solely responsible for the security and privacy of that Encryption Key and any connected wallets. Dialect disclaims all responsibility for loss, theft, or unauthorized access to that Encryption Key or any connected wallet -- and any or all consequences that may result, including loss of assets or data, or complete loss of access to a wallet or to the App.

Data Security

We have implemented measures that aim to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) an encryption key, password, or other verification code for access to certain parts of our App, you are responsible for keeping this confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the App like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the App.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through our App. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.

Changes to Our Mobile Privacy Policy

We may update our privacy policy from time to time. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will post the new privacy policy on this page with a notice that the privacy policy has been updated or an in-App alert the first time you use the App after we make the change.

The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have up-to-date active contact information for you and for periodically visiting this privacy policy to check for any changes.
