By using Toktix, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use our services.

We collect several types of information from and about our users to provide and improve the Platform. This includes information that you provide to us directly and information collected automatically when you use Toktix.

  • Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you use Toktix. This includes your interactions with content and other users (e.g., videos you watch, posts you like, users you follow, search queries), the time and frequency of your activities, and any preferences or settings you choose.
  • Device and Technical Information: We collect information about the device and software you use to access Toktix. For example, we may collect your device type, operating system version, browser type, unique device identifiers, language preference, and IP address. We also gather device event information such as crashes, system activity, and hardware settings.
  • Location Information: We may determine your approximate location based on your IP address. With your consent, we might also collect precise geolocation data from your device (for example, via GPS or mobile networks) to provide location-based features or services.
  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: Toktix uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and device identifiers) to collect data about your browsing activities over time and across different services. This helps us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and analyze how our Platform is used (see Cookies and Tracking Technologies below for more details).

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes related to operating, improving, and protecting the Platform, including:

  • Provide and Improve Services: To operate Toktix and provide you with all requested services and features. For example, we use your information to create and manage your account, display content, and personalize your experience (such as showing you videos and ads that match your interests).
  • Personalization: To customize the content you see, including feed recommendations and advertising, so that Toktix is more relevant to your interests.
  • Communication: To send you service-related communications. This may include confirmations, account notifications, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages. We may also respond to your inquiries or comments.
  • Social Connectivity: To enable interactive features such as sharing content with other users, finding friends, and participating in challenges or contests.
  • Analytics and Development: To understand how users interact with our Platform, troubleshoot issues, conduct research, and develop new features. This helps us improve Toktix and make informed decisions about our business.
  • Security and Legal Compliance: To maintain the safety and integrity of our Platform. For instance, we may use your data to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or illegal activities, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with applicable laws and law enforcement requests.
  • Marketing (with consent): To provide you with newsletters, offers, or promotions about our products and services that may be of interest to you. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

How We Share Your Information

We may share your personal information with third parties in certain circumstances, as described below:

  • With Other Users: Any information or content that you voluntarily share on Toktix (such as videos, profile information, or comments) will be visible to other users on the Platform. Please be mindful of your own privacy when you decide to share content publicly.
  • Service Providers: We share information with trusted third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf. These include companies that assist with hosting our Platform, analyzing data, processing payments, delivering messages or advertisements, and providing customer support. They only receive the information necessary to carry out their specific services and are obligated to protect your data.
  • Business Partners: In some cases, we might partner with third parties to offer services or features (for example, an in-app collaboration with another company). If you choose to participate in these offerings, we may share information about you with those partners with your consent.
  • Affiliates and Subsidiaries: We may share your information with our corporate affiliates (for example, a parent company, subsidiaries, or other companies under common ownership) to help operate and improve the Platform.
  • Legal Compliance and Safety: We will disclose information if we believe it's necessary to comply with a legal obligation, such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order. We may also share information to enforce our terms and policies, and to protect the rights, property, or safety of Toktix, our users, or others.
  • Business Transfers: If Toktix is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or other transaction, your information may be transferred to a successor or affiliate as part of that transaction.
  • With Your Consent: Apart from the cases listed above, we will ask for your consent before sharing your personal information with third parties for purposes not described in this Privacy Policy. You will have the choice to let us share your information or not.

Third-Party Marketing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. While we may share data with service providers and partners as described in this policy, these third parties are contractually prohibited from using your information for their own marketing activities. We will only share your information for marketing purposes with your explicit consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies are small files or pieces of code that are stored on your device when you visit our Platform. Toktix and our analytics and advertising partners use these technologies for several purposes:

  • Authentication and Functionality: Cookies help remember your account login, preferences, and settings, so you have a consistent experience (for example, remaining logged in or keeping your language settings).
  • Performance and Analytics: We use cookies to understand how users navigate through Toktix and to identify areas for improvement. These tools provide us with aggregated data about things like page views, user engagement, and any errors encountered.
  • Advertising: Cookies and trackers allow us and our advertising partners to deliver relevant ads to you, both on Toktix and on other sites or apps. They help limit the number of times you see an ad and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.
  • Your Choices: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies or alert you when a cookie is being placed. However, please note that if you disable cookies, some parts of the Toktix Platform may not function properly. Toktix does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals, but we offer other options to control cookies as described above.

Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights and choices regarding your personal information. These may include:

  1. Access and Update: You can access and update your profile information and other personal details at any time by logging into your account settings.
  2. Deletion: You may delete content you have posted on Toktix, and you can also request deletion of your account. When you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your personal information, though some data may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
  3. Opt-Out of Marketing: If you have subscribed to marketing emails or newsletters, you can opt out by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in those emails or through your account settings. We will continue to send you essential service notifications even if you opt out of marketing messages.
  4. Privacy Settings: Toktix provides in-app privacy controls. For example, you can set your account to private (so only approved followers can see your content), adjust who can comment on or duet with your videos, and control whether your profile is suggested to others.
  5. Cookie Preferences: As described in the Cookies section, you can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. You can also reset your advertising identifiers on mobile devices or limit ad tracking through your device settings.
  6. Additional Rights: Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional privacy rights. For example, certain laws (like GDPR or CCPA) may provide the right to request access to the information we hold about you, to request that we delete your information, or to restrict or object to certain types of data processing. We will honor such requests in accordance with applicable laws.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us (see the Contact Us section below). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal information. These include technical measures (such as encryption and secure data storage) and organizational measures (such as access controls to limit who can access your data). While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for keeping your account credentials safe and notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

Children's Privacy

Toktix is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use the Platform or provide any information to us. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided personal information to Toktix, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the Last updated date at the top of this policy. If the changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice (such as a notification within the app or an email to you). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
