We understand that the most precious moments in life are often private moments shared with family and close friends. That's why we created Betan. No influencers, no filters. Our goal is to preserve the simplicity, authenticity, and personal dimension of each moment. Therefore, the protection of your privacy is a priority for us.

This Privacy Policy is part of the User Agreement, which also includes our Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Community Standards. It aims to inform you about the information we collect about you, how we use it, when we share it, and the controls you have over the information you share with us. In this User Agreement, certain terms have specific meanings and should be interpreted consistently, regardless of their use.

While reading this Privacy Policy is not mandatory, it will help you better understand how we protect your information and make our legal team happy!

The information we collect about you

The term "Information" refers to data, including personal data, that we collect.

Betan collects information that you provide to us directly (data you share with us) and also as part of your use of our services (data we collect when you use our services).

Data you provide to us

Account creation data: This includes the data necessary to create an account. Without this information, we are unable to provide you with our services.

Your phone number, first name and/or last name, date of birth, and a username. When creating your account, you also have the option to provide us with additional information such as a biography, email address, location, and a profile picture. Content data: We receive the content (as defined in the Terms) that you create when using our services. This may include, but is not limited to: profile pictures, photos, videos, BetanMojis, emojis, captions, comments, messages, and geolocation information. Please note that other users may copy (e.g., by taking a screenshot) your content and share it through other services. Therefore, we advise you not to share any content that you do not want others to see or copy.

Communications with Betan: When you report a problem with our services, respond to a survey, request assistance, or exercise your rights, we receive the necessary information to help you, respond to you, and improve our services. This may include the content of messages, photos, copies of government-issued identification, identifiers (such as phone numbers or email addresses), or other information.

Data we collect during your use of our services

As with all internet services, when you use our services, we automatically receive information about you through your device and your use of our services:

Technical and connection data:

IP address, account creation date, last login, device, and connection point. Interaction data:

friends, number of friends, friend invitations, reactions, comments you leave on content shared by other users, friends you interact with the most, functional data related to comments or messages. Usage data: actions performed, including the use of BetanMojis, posting time, number of times you edited a photo before posting it, number of delayed posts, viewed content, interactions with content, deletions, blocks, hides, screenshots, application crashes, and event logs.

Device and equipment data: device type, operating system version, preferred language, and applications.

We also receive data when you choose, if you wish, to use certain features of our services:

Cameras and photo gallery: You can create an account without granting us access to and collecting data from your device's camera or photo gallery. If you do not grant us this access, you will not be able to share or view content in our services. The proper functioning of Betan relies on this principle.

Geolocation data: You can choose to share your location when posting content through our services. If you decide to share your location, you have the option to share either precise or approximate location depending on the feature.
