TOPU allows you to share text messages,
photos, screenshots, videos and other communications in the TOPU application
with other users, and if you choose to do so your text messages, photos,
screenshots, videos and other communications will not be stored on our servers.
Sending and sharing text messages, photos, screenshots, videos or other
communications in the TOPU application is your decision. By choosing to share
that information, you should understand that you may no longer be able to
control how that information is used and that it may become publicly available
(depending in part on your actions or the actions of others with whom you have
shared the information). TOPU is not responsible for any use or misuse of
information you share.
We operate and may continue to operate
servers in a number of jurisdictions around the world, so the server on which
your personal information is used and stored may not be in your jurisdiction.
You consent to the transfer of your
personal information (both inside and outside of your jurisdiction) for the
purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Your information is shared with others in
the following ways:
Sharing
on TOPU
1) Public information in your profile can
be seen by anyone. Please do not post or add personal data to your profile that
you would not want to be publicly available.
2) Your active status or usage information
is collected and displayed to other users (e.g. whether you are currently
active on TOPU).
Sharing
with third-party partners
By using TOPU, you agree to the third party use, sharing, and transfer of your personal
information (both inside and outside of your jurisdiction) as prescribed in
this Privacy Policy.
1) Measurement partners.
We may share information about you in
anonymous and/or aggregated form with third parties for usage analytics (to
help us better understand who is using our services and how), and for industry
analysis, research, and other similar purposes.
2) Partners offering services in TOPU
Your information may be accessed and used
by our service providers who are working with us in connection with the
operation of our services. These service providers may have access to your
information but only to the extent necessary to perform services on our behalf
and are obligated not to disclose that information or use it for any other
purposes. These providers will collect the information sent by your mobile
phone, tablet or desktop computer, and their use of that information is
governed by their applicable privacy policy.
3) Law enforcement
We may share information about you if we
are (or if we believe we are) required by law or legal process (such as a
subpoena, warrant or court order), if we have to respond to a lawful request
from legal authorities to disclose such information, or if we need to enforce
or apply this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Service or our other policies.
4) New owner
If we are acquired by a third party or may
re-organize our group structure, your information may be transferred within our
group and/or to a third party who will continue to operate TOPU or similar
services under either this Privacy Policy or a different privacy policy which
will be notified to you. The party to which your personal information is
transferred may be located, and use your Information, outside of your
jurisdiction.
Other than as permitted under this Privacy
Policy or as otherwise consented to by you or as required by law or legal
process, we will not transfer your personal information to any other third
parties for their processing for any purposes.
We employ administrative, physical and
electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized
access, however, despite these efforts, no security measures are perfect or
impenetrable and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any
interception or other type of misuse. In the event that your personal
information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will
promptly notify you if your personal information has been compromised, as
required by applicable law.
Where we do share your personal
information with any third parties, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure
that such third parties only use your personal information: (i) in compliance with this Privacy Policy; and (ii) subject
to any other instructions we give them, including any appropriate confidentiality
and security measures that we implement.
You can access and modify in your account
profile the information you provided to us that is associated with your account
directly within our services.
If you believe your information posted on TOPU
is unauthentic or inaccurate and can provide us with reasonable proof regarding
this, you can contact us via the contact information provided at the end of
this Privacy Policy.
You can request an account deletion in TOPU
settings at any time. Alternatively, you can also contact us directly to delete
your account and information via the contact information provided at the end of
this Privacy Policy. After you submit the request, it may take up to three days
for us to verify and process the deletion of your account.
Once your account is closed or deleted,
you will no longer have access to your message history, preferences or any
other information associated with your use of our services. Even after you
remove information from your account or profile, copies of that information may
remain viewable elsewhere, to the extent it has been shared with others, it was
otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or it was copied or
stored by other users. Additionally, we will retain your personal data even
after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our
legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory
requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, or
enforce the Terms of Service. We will retain de-personalized information after
your account has been closed.
Since TOPU will be used in multiple
jurisdictions and we may not be possible to identify all the inconsistency
between certain terms of this Privacy Policy and the applicable law in your
jurisdiction, thus you agree to notify us once such inconsistency is identified
by you. Under this circumstance we will take necessary methods to eliminate
such inconsistency, including deleting these personal
information improperly collected or used by us.
You can change the system settings of your
device to manage permissions for specific device data access as well as
notifications. By doing so, you can stop TOPU from accessing your device data
and displaying notifications. However, please keep in mind that this may cause
certain services to lose functionality.

Privacy Policy or any privacy-related matters, please contact us via email at
