PRIVACY POLICY

Effective date: May 20 2023

Vibes is an app for sharing your live feelings with your closest friends.

Below, we outline what data we collect and how we use it.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

We may collect several types of information, including but not limited to Personal Data, from and about you:
Directly from you when you provide it to us. Automatically when you Use Vibes. Information collected automatically may include Usage details and internet protocol (“IP”) addresses.
From third parties, for example, our Service Providers (as defined below). To the extent information is: (i) associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and (ii) protected as personal data under applicable data protection laws, such information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Data”.e.

Contacts data

After signing up, Vibes asks for access to your address book. This makes it easy to add your friends to your Vibes. First and foremost, we never save your contacts and never send text messages to your friends without your explicit permission. Some apps abuse their access to your contacts, so we want to be sure your friends' data always stays in your hands, not ours.

When you add a friend on Vibes, we first look up their phone number in our records to see if they already have an account. If they don't, then we store their phone number without any personally identifiable information attached (no name, no profile picture, no nothing). Linking their number to your account means that once they sign up, they can immediately accept your friend request. We do not save the phone numbers of any users you don't explicitly add as a friend.

To invite a new user to the app, Vibes gives you the option of sending them a text message with a link to install the app. We do not automatically message your friends on your behalf. Instead, you have to send the message yourself. This means you're always in control of what messages get sent to your friends. Everyone hates when an app secretly sends messages to all their Contacts, us included.

Once you add a friend, Vibes looks up the name and profile picture you have saved for that person in your Contacts. This information is then used to identify your friend throughout the app. It's important to note that this data never leaves your phone and never gets saved to our databases.

Location data

Vibes' friend map enables you to share location check-ins and real-time location with your friends on the app. When you turn on, location sharing we collect your location and motion information through your GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude/longitude) available through your mobile device, motion information such as altitude, heading and speed.

Changes to this policy

Vibes can change this policy at any time. If this policy is changed, all users will receive a message in the app with the new policy.
