  1. Privacy Policy

TELLOTALK (PVT) LIMITED ("TELLOTALK") recognizes that its customers, visitors and users, want to know what's up with privacy. TelloTalk provides this Privacy Policy to help you make an informed decision about whether to use or continue using the TelloTalk, TelloTalk Software and/or the TelloTalk Service. If you do not agree to our practices, please do not use the TelloTalk Site, TelloTalk Software or TelloTalk Service.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the TelloTalk Terms of Service. Your use of the TelloTalk Site, TelloTalk Software and the TelloTalk Service and any personal information you provide on the TelloTalk Site or TelloTalk Service remains subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information, such as your mobile phone number, push notification name (if applicable), billing information (if applicable) and mobile device information to TelloTalk when choosing to participate in various uses of the TelloTalk Service, such as registering as a user, updating your status or requesting status for your contacts. In order to provide the TelloTalk Service, TelloTalk will periodically access your address book or contact list on your mobile phone to locate the mobile phone numbers of other TelloTalk users (“in-network” numbers), or otherwise categorize other mobile phone numbers as “out-network” numbers, which are stored as one-way irreversibly hashed values.

We do not retain your messages in the ordinary course of providing our Services to you. Once your messages (including your chats, photos, videos, voice messages, files, and share location information) are delivered, they are deleted from our servers. Your messages are stored on your own device. If a message cannot be delivered immediately (for example, if you are offline), we may keep it on our servers for up to 30 days as we try to deliver it. If a message is still undelivered after 30 days, we delete it. To improve performance and deliver media messages more efficiently, such as when many people are sharing a popular photo or video, we may retain that content on our servers for a longer period of time.
