GoSayHELLO

Welcome to the GoSayHELLO Privacy Policy (“Policy”)! This explains how we collect, store, protect, and share your information, and with whom we share it. We suggest you read this in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions of Use.

Whilst you’re enjoying the GoSayHELLO mobile application (including the desktop version) (“App”), our websites and microsites (such as GoSayHELLO.com) or using our digital products and services (such as our competitions or surveys) (together, referred to in this Privacy Policy as our “Sites”), we collect some information about you. In addition, you may choose to use the App or Sites to share information with other users, including your friends and contacts (“Users”). We may also need to share your information sometimes.

The App and Sites are global, and your information will be sent to and used in the United States and the UK regardless of the country you reside in. This Policy explains how we protect your personal data when we transfer it overseas, so please read very carefully!

Who We Are

The App and Sites are operated by the “GoSayHELLO Group” (also referred to in this policy as “we” or “us”) which includes GoSayHELLO Holding Limited, Badoo Trading Limited and GoSayHELLO Trading LLC, all of which are controllers of personal information collected and processed through the GoSayHELLO App and Sites.

1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION.

Registration Information

When you download the App and create an account (“Account”), we may collect certain information (“Registration Information”) about you, such as:

• Name;
• Username;
• Email address;
• Mobile number;
• Gender identity;

• Login information for social media accounts that you connect to your GoSayHELLO Account (this could include, for example, your Facebook and Instagram accounts). For more information about this, see “Linking other Accounts to GoSayHELLO” in section 7 below.

Once you register, you will be able to review and change this information at any time just by logging in to GoSayHELLO (other than your date of birth and location (which, if you have given GoSayHELLO access to your location in your device settings, is automatically updated based on the location of your device)). It is your responsibility to ensure that your account details are kept up to date. If your phone number changes, please ensure that you update this in your account.

The information we collect helps to enhance the App and verify our Users (robots are not welcome!). Registration Information such as your sexual preference, name and username may be visible to other Users who view your profile page.

Personal Information

We recommend and encourage you (and all our members) to think carefully about the information you disclose about yourself. We also do not recommend that you put email addresses, URLs, instant messaging details, phone numbers, full names or addresses, credit card details, national identity numbers, drivers’ licence details and other sensitive information which is open to abuse and misuse on your profile.

When you post information about yourself or use the messaging function to communicate with other Users, the amount of personal information you share is at your own risk. Please see Section 4 below for more information on who can access what you post on GoSayHELLO.

Purchases Information

If you decide to purchase any of our premium services, we will process your payment information and retain this securely for the prevention of fraud and for audit/tax purposes.

GoSayHELLO uses automated decisions to prevent fraudulent payment transactions being processed as part of its anti-fraud procedures. In order to do this, our systems check payment transactions for behaviour that indicates breaches of our Terms and Conditions of Use. If a transaction meets certain criteria that demonstrate that the Terms and Conditions of Use are likely to have been breached and the transaction is likely to be fraudulent, the relevant transaction may automatically be blocked. Where a transaction is blocked, the user will be notified that their transaction cannot be processed and affected Users can contact GoSayHELLO to contest the decision.

Please note that if your account is blocked for any reason, any account(s) that you have on other GoSayHELLO Group platforms/applications, such as Badoo, may also be blocked as part of our anti-spam and anti-fraud procedures.

Geolocation Information

If you have given GoSayHELLO access to your location in your device settings, when you use your mobile, we will collect information about WiFi access points as well as other location information about your longitude and latitude and may save your device’s coordinates to offer certain features to you. This information helps us identify your physical location and we use it to personalize the App and make it easier for you to interact with other Users, by enabling the general locality information to be displayed to Users seeing your profile and showing you the profiles of other Users who are near you.

If you have given GoSayHELLO access to your location, but wish to turn this off, you can do so by the following methods:

1. iPhone app — settings, privacy, location services, GoSayHELLO
2. Android — settings, location, GoSayHELLO, permissions, location

We may collect information about your device when you use the App including the unique device identifier, device model, operating system, and MAC address, for a number of purposes, as set out in this policy.

Links

We may keep track of how you interact with links available on GoSayHELLO including third party services by redirecting clicks or through other means. We may share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.
