Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2025

Introduction

Jeet Productions built the Open Talk | Buddy Talk app. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your personal data.

If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The personal information that Open Talk collects is used for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to Device ID, Contacts, and Location. The app uses third‑party services that may collect information used to identify you.

Examples of information we collect

  • Personal Information: Your name, email address, and other contact information you provide.
  • User‑generated content: Information and feedback you provide through our app, such as comments or chat messages.
  • Device and usage information: As described in the Log Data section below.

Third‑party services

Facebook Profile Picture Integration and Data Deletion

Use of Facebook Profile Picture

  • We may request access to your Facebook profile picture through the Facebook API.
  • We will only use this information to update your profile picture on Open Talk.
  • Your Facebook profile picture remains subject to Facebook's privacy policies and terms of service.

Data Deletion

You have the right to delete your data from Open Talk at any time. To delete your account and associated data:

  1. Go to the Settings section of the app (top‑right corner button).
  2. Select the Delete Account option.
  3. Confirm your decision.

Your account and associated data will be permanently deleted from our systems. Data shared with Facebook remains subject to Facebook's policies and may not be deleted by us.

Gender Filter Disclaimer

Open Talk provides a gender filter option to eligible users to help them connect with users of a specific gender. However, Open Talk cannot guarantee the gender of any user, as each user selects their gender during login/signup and may not accurately represent their true gender. Open Talk is not liable for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction arising from a mismatch.

To mitigate this, Open Talk has a reporting system. Once a user receives five reports for having the wrong gender, their gender will automatically change. This system relies on user reports and may not be fully effective. The gender filter is provided as a convenience and is not intended to discriminate or promote gender‑based biases. Please use the app respectfully and in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

Log Data

Whenever you use our Service, in case of an error in the app we collect data and information (through third‑party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (IP) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when using the Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Cookies

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. This Service does not use these cookies explicitly. However, the app may use third‑party code and libraries that use cookies to collect information and improve their services. You can choose to accept or refuse cookies; refusing cookies may disable parts of the Service.

Service Providers

We may employ third‑party companies and individuals to:

  • Facilitate our Service
  • Provide the Service on our behalf
  • Perform Service‑related services
  • Assist us in analyzing how our Service is used

These third parties have access to your Personal Information to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Security

We value your trust in providing us your personal information, so we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to Other Sites

This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third‑party link, you will be directed to that site. These external sites are not operated by us, so we strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of those websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third‑party sites or services.

Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete it from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary actions.

Refund Policy

The refund service is not available.
