At DramaTalk, we are committed to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle the data we collect when you use DramaTalk Mobile Applications (collectively, the "Site"), as well as other domains, products, services, and content associated with DramaTalk (together with the Site, the "Services"). This document acts as a legal agreement between you and DramaTalk. By using the Services, you consent to the collection, processing, storage, and sharing of your information as described herein. Please read this policy carefully.
This Privacy Policy details our management of information collected when you interact with the Services. It also includes information shared by our partners and information we share with them. However, it does not cover third-party services that we do not control or own, including websites, services, applications, or businesses (“Third Party Services”). We strive to collaborate with Third Party Services that respect your privacy, but we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We advise reviewing the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you use.
Visitors to DramaTalk’s Services may provide personal information, such as a username, password, email address, phone number, full name, display name, pseudonym, and profile pictures, to create an account. This information may be used to verify your account and communicate with you. Your phone number may be used to send verification codes and other messages related to account management. While you can maintain a level of anonymity, remember that your posts, comments, and username are visible publicly by default.
You may receive emails from us related to account management or updates. Administrative emails cannot be opted out of, but you can opt out of promotional emails via the provided link. We will never ask for your password or account information via email; if you receive such a request, please forward it to us.
You have the option to connect your Account with specific Third-Party Services. To facilitate this connection, you may need to provide us with your username or another user identifier for the Third-Party Service, and you may be prompted to log in to that service. Once you’ve completed the login steps, we will be granted a token that enables us to access your account on the Third-Party Service, which allows us to, for instance, publish your content to that service at your request. Please note that we do not receive or store your passwords for your Third-Party Service accounts. Furthermore, you can link your Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts to DramaTalk, granting us access to information from those accounts, such as your friends or contacts list. The data we obtain from these services typically depends on your settings or their privacy policies, so it’s important to review what these are.
We may collaborate with Third Party Services that can supply details about you. For instance, this might involve your gender, provided you’ve shared this data with the Third Party Service and granted DramaTalk permission to retrieve it. If we acquire such information, we may utilize it to innovate new Services or to refine and enhance our existing offerings.When you link additional Third Party Services to your DramaTalk account, these services may disclose information about you to us. The specifics of what is shared are governed by their respective privacy policies.
By standard settings, all sharing via the Services is open to the public, and any content you supply to us is disseminated for anyone to see. Material that is published and shared publicly is accessible to all, including search engine indexing. Furthermore, information shared openly might be replicated and disseminated across the internet, including via inherent actions or features of the Services like Sharing, Resharing, or forwarding. Essentially, DramaTalk operates as a public platform. Feel free to share remarkable content, but be aware that it can be challenging to entirely delete items from the internet once they have been shared or reshared multiple times.
The Services enable you to engage in actions that are fundamental to our offerings, such as liking a post, commenting on a post, sharing a post, replying to a post, and so on. Liking, sharing, and replying are public activities; anyone can, for instance, view the “activities” section of a post to see who has liked, shared, or replied to it. We utilize data on these native actions to enhance the Services, create new offerings, and specifically to tailor your DramaTalk experience. This personalization may involve showing you new posts that align with your interests, delivering more accurate search results, and presenting you with advertisements that are more aligned with your preferences.When you share information or content, such as text, images, videos, GIFs, etc., as well as actions like shares, likes, replies, comments, etc. through the Services, consider carefully what you are revealing to the public.
Under certain circumstances, we may gather data related to the content you supply to the Services. For instance, we might collect details on whether the recipient has seen or replayed the content, along with any metadata that accompanies the content. If included within your images, we could also collect information detailing your camera model, camera settings, or EXIF data. This information is used to enhance the Services and to offer additional features and capabilities.
Our Services may require access to your device’s camera and photos, but only after receiving your consent.
Currently, whenever you engage with a website, mobile app, or other online service, certain data is typically generated and logged automatically. This holds true for our products as well. We gather insights on how individuals, including those with an Account, utilize the Services. This data may be captured in our log files with each interaction (i.e., request) made with the Services. We employ internal resources and third-party applications and services (such as Google Analytics, etc.) to collect and assess this information. Portions of this data may be linked to the Internet Protocol Address (“IP Address”) used to access the Services; some may be tied to your Account; and some may only be gathered and utilized in an aggregated format (as a statistical measure that doesn’t pinpoint you or your Account). We also log your IP Address when you create a post or take actions like commenting, sharing, etc. We may utilize this information about user engagement with the Services for various purposes related to enhancing, refining, safeguarding, and developing new Services, including but not limited to: offering personalized content to users; delivering targeted advertising; enhancing our search outcomes; identifying trending or popular content; combating spam, malware, identity theft, and ensuring the safety of our users and community; and for legal and safety reasons outlined in “Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others.” We apply information about your interactions with DramaTalk to customize your experience, protect both you and our community from harm, and to enhance DramaTalk for all its users.
When you engage with the Services, we automatically receive and log data from your web browser, including details such as the type and version of your browser, the type of device you’re using, your operating system and its version, your language preferences, the website or service that directed you to the Services, the date and time of each interaction with the Services, your screen display details, and data from any cookies we’ve installed on your browser (as outlined below). Additionally, we occasionally identify if you’re using specific web browser extensions and retain this information in association with your Account. We utilize this browser-related information to refine and enhance the Services.
We might gather and retain data pertaining to your mobile device. Furthermore, we may request your phone number to facilitate the introduction of new products and to enhance the Services, for instance, by enabling multi-factor authentication for accessing your Account.
A cookie, referred to also as a web cookie, browser cookie, or HTTP cookie, is a segment of text that is stored by a user’s web browser. Cookies do not grant us any access to your computer or personal information beyond what you voluntarily provide, such as through a contact form submission or via email. You have the option to accept or refuse cookies, as well as to remove those that have already been set. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can typically adjust your browser settings to reject them if you wish. Instructions on how to accept, decline, and delete cookies can be found in the help section of your browser or on the associated website. Please note that by declining cookies, you may be unable to fully utilize the website, as certain features like login functionality may not operate correctly.
Certain services we employ (including Third Party Services like Advertising partners and Analytics partners) such as Google Analytics, may also deposit their own cookies (or employ similar technologies) on your browser. These cookies enable the ad server to identify your computer each time an online advertisement is sent to you, compiling data about you or other individuals who access your computer. This data empowers ad networks to, among other functions, serve advertisements that they deem most relevant to you. Please be aware that, unless explicitly stated otherwise, this Privacy Policy addresses our own use of cookies and does not extend to the use of cookies by third parties.
Specific functionalities within the Services enable you to share your contact lists with us, facilitating connections with individuals within our Services who are also on those lists. We may, upon obtaining your consent, gather information from your device’s phonebook. For instance, you can transmit your mobile phone contact details to us via our mobile apps, which in turn enables us to present you with a list of those contacts who are using the Services, allowing you to “follow” them. Additionally, when you grant us access to your device’s phonebook, we may disclose information about you to other users whose device phonebooks contain your phone number.
As mentioned in the sections on “User Content” and “Native Actions,” the default setting is for content posted through the Services and many actions you take on the platform to be visible to the public. Given that this information can be viewed by anyone and may be indexed by search engines, you should exercise caution with what you disclose publicly, ensuring it is information you are comfortable sharing with everyone. Content you generate on DramaTalk is, by default, accessible to the public. This implies that it can be seen by anyone and may be indexed by search engines.
We may share or reveal your information as per your instructions, such as when you grant permission to a third-party web client or application to access your account.
The Services may feature links to third-party websites, include third-party integrations, or be a co-branded or third-party-branded service offered in collaboration with or by another company. By accessing these links, using third-party integrations, or utilizing co-branded or third-party-branded services, you may be directly providing information (including personal data) to the third party, to us, or to both. You may also opt to share information you provide to us, such as posts, with these Third-Party Services (for instance, by sharing posts on Twitter or Facebook). This is where our Privacy Policy ceases and their policies commence. Please ensure you are comfortable with the policies of any services you choose to link to your DramaTalk account. You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for how those third parties collect or utilize your information. As a general rule, we advise you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you visit or use, including those with which you interact through our services. This Privacy Policy only governs the information we collect, and you are responsible for reading and understanding the privacy policies of those Third-Party Services.
Occasionally, we may share certain stored information, such as IP addresses, with third parties known as “Agents” (which may include service providers, consultants, and other agents). This sharing is done to facilitate the operation of the Services, enhance their functionality, and develop new products and services. For instance, we may share information with service providers to combat spam, and consultants may need access to information to improve our processes and technology. These Agents are typically subject to confidentiality obligations and, unless we indicate otherwise, they are not permitted to use the information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
In certain situations, we may opt to purchase or sell business assets. During such transactions, user information is often a part of the assets being transferred. Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we were to cease operations or enter bankruptcy, user information would likely be among the assets that would be acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may take place and that any acquirer of our business or assets would have the right to continue using your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We value freedom of expression and strive to protect our community from unwarranted legal actions. However, we reserve the right to access, preserve, and disclose any information we reasonably believe is necessary, at our sole discretion, to (i) comply with any law, regulation, legal process, governmental request, or governmental order, (ii) enforce this Privacy Policy and our terms and conditions, including investigating potential violations, (iii) detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, trust, and safety issues (including sharing information with other companies and organizations for the purpose of enhancing security and preventing fraud, spam, and malware), (iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect the rights, property, health, or safety of us, our users, any third parties, or the public at large.
Upon request, we will release information about your account if feasible.
When you opt to purchase Beans or engage in other payment-related transactions, we may share data with the appropriate payment provider to facilitate the transaction. For Bean transactions, we provide a transaction ID to help us identify you and credit your account with the correct amount of Beans after you have made the payment.
Non-private or aggregated data may be shared with business partners.
The privacy and security of your Account Information is safeguarded by a password. We may introduce extra security features, such as multi-factor authentication, in the future. It is essential to prevent unauthorized access to your Account and information by establishing a distinctive, secure, and protected password. Additionally, you should limit access to your computer and browser by logging out after you finish using your Account on the Services.
We implement suitable security measures to defend against unauthorized access or unauthorized modification, disclosure, or destruction of data. This includes conducting internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices, as well as implementing security measures that involve appropriate encryption and physical security to prevent unauthorized access to systems where personal data is stored.
We strive to protect your information, including your Account Information, to maintain its confidentiality. However, no security system is infallible. As robust as our security measures may be, we cannot guarantee the security of any information. Unauthorized access or use, hardware or software malfunctions, and other factors could potentially compromise the security of user information at any time.
Registered users can view most of the information linked to their Account by signing in to the Services and reviewing their Account Settings page. Both registered and unregistered users have the ability to access and remove cookies via their web browser’s settings.

Sexualization of Minors: Depictions, encouragement, or promotion of child sexual abuse or the portrayal of children in a sexually exploitative manner.

Child Trafficking: Advertising or soliciting a child for commercial sexual exploitation.
Violations of these rules will result in immediate account suspension or termination, along with possible legal action. Content involving child sexual abuse materials will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other relevant authorities.
Users must be at least 18 years old to create an account or participate in live-streaming activities.
Misrepresenting age during account registration will lead to suspension or termination of the account.
To ensure a safe environment, all streamers and users must follow these guidelines:
Prohibited Content: Explicit material, harassment, bullying, or any content harmful to minors is strictly forbidden.

To remove your Account and associated Data, send a request, including evidence of your authority over the Account. The necessary "proof of authority" will depend on the context but typically involves providing enough identification details to confirm that you are the Account’s rightful owner.
We retain your personal information only for the duration necessary for the legal grounds we rely on and as allowed by applicable law. You have the option to permanently delete your Account and Data at any time.

After 28 days, we commence the deletion of your personal information from our systems, unless:
When DramaTalk employs machine learning, as in detecting and preventing fraudulent card transactions or spam communications on the App, we may need to retain personal information beyond the standard retention periods for the machine learning to function effectively. In such cases, we strive to minimize the personal information used, ensure it is securely isolated from other users’ personal information, and regularly review the retention period, deleting identifiable information when no longer necessary.
To prevent misuse of DramaTalk after a User’s profile or Account is terminated or deleted, we may, at our sole discretion, retain information deemed necessary to ensure the User does not violate our Terms and Conditions of Use by opening a new Account and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The latest version of the policy will dictate how we manage your information. If we make a significant change to this policy, as determined by us, we will endeavor to inform you and other Site users by sending a notification to the email or contact information provided to us and/or by posting a notice on our Site. It is your responsibility to periodically review the Site for any such notifications. Your continued use of the Services following the implementation of such changes signifies your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
