SSPL ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Aegis Live mobile application (the "App"), a next-generation live streaming and short video social platform designed to foster security, authenticity, and creative freedom. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with care and respect. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App. By accessing or using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the App.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide you with a safe, personalized, and engaging experience on Aegis Live. The types of information we may collect include:
Personal Information: When you create an account, we may collect details such as your name, email address, phone number, username, profile picture, and date of birth (to verify age eligibility, as the App is intended for users 13 years or older).
User-Generated Content: Videos, live streams, comments, messages, and other content you upload or share on the App, including metadata like timestamps and location data if you enable it.
Device and Usage Information: Automatically collected data such as your device type, IP address, operating system, browser type, unique device identifiers, app usage patterns (e.g., time spent on features, interactions with content), and crash reports to improve performance and security.
Location Information: If you grant permission, we may collect precise or approximate location data to enhance features like geo-targeted content or nearby user discovery.
Social & Contact Information: If you connect your account to social media platforms or import contacts, we may collect information from those sources, such as friends' lists or profile data, to help you connect with others.
Payment Information: If the App includes in-app purchases or subscriptions, we may collect billing details, but these are processed securely through third-party payment providers and not stored by us.
We only collect information that is necessary for the App's functionality and your experience. You can choose not to provide certain information, but this may limit your ability to use some features.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information in ways that support your creativity and connections while prioritizing your privacy:
To Provide and Improve the App: To enable live streaming, video sharing, user interactions, content recommendations, and personalized feeds based on your preferences and activity.
For Security and Authenticity: To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or violations of our terms, including verifying user identities and moderating content.
To Communicate with You: To send notifications, updates, promotional messages, or responses to your inquiries. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.
For Analytics and Research: To understand user trends, improve features, and enhance user safety through aggregated, anonymized data.
For Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, respond to legal requests, or protect our rights and the safety of users.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. All uses are guided by principles of fairness and minimal data processing.
3. Sharing Your Information
We share information only when necessary and with your trust in mind:
With Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party vendors (e.g., cloud storage, analytics tools like Google Analytics, or content moderation services) who assist us in operating the App. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
With Other Users: Information you choose to make public, such as your profile, videos, or comments, will be visible to other users or the public, depending on your privacy settings.
In Business Transfers: If SSPL is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you of any changes in ownership or use.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a court order, or to protect against harm to users or the public.
With Your Consent: We may share information in other ways if you give us explicit permission.
4. Data Security
Your security is at the heart of Aegis Live. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. This includes encryption for data in transit, access controls, and regular security audits. However, no system is completely secure, so we encourage you to use strong passwords and report any suspicious activity.
5. Your Rights and Choices
We empower you to control your data:
Access and Update: You can view, edit, or delete your account information through the App settings.
Opt-Out: Manage notifications, location sharing, or data collection preferences in the App.
Data Portability: Request a copy of your personal data in a structured format.
Deletion: Request deletion of your account and data, subject to legal retention requirements.
Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
(or your designated email). We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically 30 days.
If you are in India or the EU, you have additional rights under the DPDP Act or GDPR, such as the right to object to processing or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
6. Children's Privacy
Aegis Live is not intended for children under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete the information promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information should contact us immediately.
7. International Data Transfers
SSPL is based in India, but your data may be processed or stored in other countries where our service providers operate. We ensure appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, are in place for international transfers.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of material changes via the App or email. Your continued use of the App after changes indicates your acceptance.
