HYPE App is a new type of social network. Our products include our iOS and Android apps, and our website or any related web apps (our "Products"). They allow you and others to use your thoughts, initiating capabilities and live streaming to interact with each other in real time. We help people around the world come together to create, join, volunteer, participate, talk, listen, and learn from each other. We provide a place to meet with friends and with new people to tell stories, ask questions, debate, learn, have impromptu conversations, and share them with others.
When you use our Products, you will be providing Nimblebot Labs, LLC with your personal information. We wrote this privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy" or "Policy") to help you understand what personal information we collect, how we use it and disclose it, how long we retain it, and what choices you have about it. This Policy does not cover information that does not identify you. Nor does it cover the practices of HYPE users. Other members of the HYPE App might have access to your public profile within our platforms.
You may have specific privacy rights in your state or region. In the United States, residents of California and other states have specific privacy rights. Residents of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), the UK, Brazil, the Republic of Korea, and other jurisdictions also have specific rights:
These additional disclosures supplement, and should be read together with, this Privacy Policy.
When you use HYPE, we collect personal information that you provide to us. This includes:
When you set up an account, we may ask you to provide information about yourself, including your name, phone number, email address, and date of birth.
We may also ask you to provide us with some additional personal information about you that will be visible in our Products, such as a profile picture, and a bio in your profile to tell other HYPE users more about you. When you change your profile picture we store a copy of the new picture you upload and retain all profile pictures you uploaded previously for trust and safety purposes and in accordance with our data retention policies.
You have the option of choosing topics you're interested in to help us better personalize our Products to you. You can decide whether your interests are shared with other users as part of your profile or hidden. You can add, remove, or hide interests whenever you want.
You may choose to connect your other social media accounts, or sync your contacts.
When you use our Products, we collect additional personal information based on your activity and other personal information you might choose to provide. This includes:
We collect information about when and how you use our Products. This includes information about Streaming events you create, streaming events you speak in, initiatives you create or join, Clips you create, and Replays you create. It also includes who you follow, which department you join, links you share, queries you submit, what kind of content you're interested in, and new profile pictures you might add.
We store the messages you send to and receive from other users and information about those messages, including the messages you send. We review the contents of these messages if a user reports, or we otherwise detect, a potential trust and safety violation or potentially illegal or illicit activity.
We collect information about the messages you send us when you contact us with questions or feedback, including the contents of those messages.
If you give us permission to sync your contacts, we will store identifiers known as hash values derived from the phone numbers of your contacts, and we will update your contacts periodically. Similarly, if you invite somebody to join HYPE, we will store a hash value derived from the phone number you provide.
We may collect information from and about the devices you use. In particular, we may collect information about your hardware and software, such as the hardware model, operating system version, device memory, unique application identifiers, apps installed, unique device identifiers, browser type, and information about your wireless and mobile network connections, such as mobile phone number, service provider.
We use cookies (small text files sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your HYPE account or your browser) to get log data. Some of these cookies are used to help us understand how many people use our service, and how they use it. Other cookies are used to help us track the efficiency of our advertising campaigns on other platforms. For more detailed information about cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
If you link your HYPE App account to Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media services, we may receive information from those other services. The information we receive will depend on the privacy settings on those other services.
We may also receive information about you from our service providers.
HYPE users may sync their contact lists to HYPE in order to help HYPE connect them to existing users, invite new users, and to connect users and their contacts with one another on HYPE App. Similarly, users may send people invitations by manually entering a telephone number. In either case, the only information HYPE stores is a hash value derived from the phone number. HYPE does not collect names or any other information associated with your contacts, and we do not share the hash values we collect or make them available to others.
We use the personal information we collect to provide our Products to you and to improve them. Specifically, we use the data we collect to:
We do not sell personal information about our users. We may, however, disclose that information to:
If you choose to link your HYPE account to Twitter, Instagram, or any other services, we may disclose information to those other services at your direction when using our Products.
We employ third parties to process information on our behalf based on our instructions and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providers of services relating to cloud computing, analytics, security, enforcement of content policies, and user support.
If we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety, rights or property of the public, any person or HYPE; or to detect, prevent or otherwise address illegal conduct, fraud, security or technical issues, we may disclose information to law enforcement agencies, other governmental agencies, or private parties as needed.
If we were to engage in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding that involves the transfer of the information described in this Policy, we would disclose your information to a party involved in such a process (for example, a purchaser).
We keep your personal information only for as long as we reasonably need it to provide our Products to you and fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. This is also the case for anyone that we disclose your personal information to and who carries out services on our behalf. In general, this means we will retain your personal information for as long as you have a HYPE account. We may delete some personal information earlier based on changes to your account settings, such as if you instruct us to delete your contacts. When we no longer need to use your personal information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we'll remove any information that can identify you from our systems.
As explained above, we record conversations in all rooms to monitor for violations of our Community Guidelines, our Terms of Service, or for otherwise illegal or illicit activity. If a user or our automated systems flag potential violations, we will retain the recording as long as reasonably necessary to investigate the potential violation. Otherwise, we delete the recording shortly after the room ends, usually within 10 minutes.
There are a variety of ways you can manage the personal information we have about you. Specifically, you can:
While our Products are offered worldwide, we are based in the United States and rely on cloud storage providers that store user data on our behalf in the United States. When you use our Products, your personal information may be transferred and stored outside your home country, including in the United States, for the purposes described in this Policy. The privacy protections and the rights of authorities to access your personal information in such countries may not be equivalent to those of your home country.
We may change this Policy from time to time. If we do, we'll post any changes on this page. We will provide a more prominent notice or get your consent where required by law.
The best way to manage personal information about you as described above or get in touch with us is through your account settings or via our Knowledge Center. Nimblebot Labs, LLC. (doing business as HYPE App) is responsible for your information. You can contact HYPE at dev@nimblebot.com
