This includes details you actively share with us, such as information you enter when setting up your Yah Live account or engaging in other platform activities. This user-provided data is fundamental to tailoring the Yah Live experience to your preferences and ensuring platform functionality.
ii. Information Collected for Legitimate Interests
We may also collect data as part of our legitimate business interests, which allows us to improve and maintain the Yah Live Services, enhance security, personalize content, and provide seamless user interactions. This data collection helps ensure the reliability and quality of our services.
When you create an account on the Yah Live App or use its services—like uploading content or reaching out for technical support—you consent to share specific types of personal information with us. This information includes:
Registration Information: When setting up your account, we ask for details like your user ID, language preference, password, date of birth, and phone number (or email, if applicable).
Profile Information: You may choose to provide further profile details, such as your introduction, social media links, education, career, alias, profile images, gender, and hometown.

Facial Data: When using certain features for creating special effects or emojis, we may process facial data offline. This data will not be repurposed or shared externally without your explicit consent, and it will not be used for marketing. If you use Real-Person Profile Picture Authentication, we compare your profile picture with a facial-recognition video for verification to enhance authenticity and security. This verification data is used solely for authentication and is not stored.
Payment Information: When paying for services, we collect payment details, including your payment method, card information, name, billing address, and purchase amount.
Transaction Details: After purchasing Paid Services, we retain transaction history and transaction serial numbers.
Social Network Contacts: With your permission, if you use the “Discover Friends” function, we access your contacts to facilitate connections.
GPS Location: If you permit, we may access your GPS information for location-based features. You can adjust this access in your device settings.
Opt-In Choices and Correspondence: We collect information you provide during account verification, feedback resolution, or any complaints you share with us.
Survey and Activity Participation: Any information you provide when joining in-app surveys and activities is also collected.
Social Media Information: If you connect your Yah Live account with a social media platform like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Google, we may access certain information from those platforms.
This data collection enables us to provide and improve the Yah Live Services, tailoring the experience to meet your needs while protecting your privacy.

Additionally, we may use and share aggregated insights derived from your personal information. For instance, we might aggregate data to understand the percentage of users engaging with a specific feature, generating usage statistics, or calculating ad impressions. This aggregated data does not identify you personally.
Our Cookie Policy governs the storage and access to cookies associated with Yah Live Services. This policy is designed to clarify our use of cookies and ensure transparency in data collection practices.
Your personal information is collected and used in accordance with applicable laws and serves various purposes within Yah Live Services:
If your profile is set to public, your content on Yah Live becomes visible to everyone on the platform, which means it may also be accessed or shared by friends, followers, and third parties, including search engines, content aggregators, and news websites.

Yah Live may share your information within our corporate group, including subsidiaries and affiliates, to enhance platform functionality, improve user experience, and detect or prevent illegal activity.

This privacy policy only applies to information collected directly through Yah Live Services, and does not extend to third-party sites or their content once you navigate away from Yah Live Services.
We have instituted administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Access to Personal Information is limited to authorized employees performing permitted business functions. We employ encryption for certain data transmissions and use firewalls to guard against unauthorized access.
However, while we are committed to safeguarding your information, no security system can be completely secure. As such, we encourage caution in sharing Personal Information on Yah Live Services. Be mindful of protecting your password and account details, as these are essential to maintaining the security of your account.

Yah Live allows users to create, share, and interact with various types of content, from live-streaming to forums, chat, voice services, and more. Here’s how we manage and monitor UGC:
Permitted Content
Users are welcome to share diverse forms of content, including live streams, messages, sound, images, code, and other digital materials. They can enhance this content with music, graphics, stickers, virtual items, and other Yah Live features, which can be broadcasted through Yah Live Services. User-submitted views and virtual items, such as virtual gifts, represent individual opinions and do not necessarily reflect the views or values of Yah Live.
Review and Enforcement Protocols
Yah Live has dedicated global teams and advanced systems in place to monitor for violations, misuse, or harmful behavior on the platform. When problematic content or behavior is identified, we may respond by providing user support, removing content, restricting specific features, disabling accounts, or contacting law enforcement if necessary to protect the community.
These guidelines aim to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all users on the platform.
Yah Live retains your Personal Information and data for as long as your account remains active. You can request the deletion of your account at any time through the "Me > Settings > Account Management > Delete Account" feature within the app, or by sending an email to service@yah.live.
However, some data may be retained for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons, such as for tax, insurance, litigation, or other obligations. For instance, location, device, and usage data may be stored for a reasonable period for these purposes, including safety, security, fraud detection, and research and development.
In certain cases, such as having an outstanding account balance or unresolved claims, account deletion may be temporarily blocked. Once any pending issues are resolved, we will proceed with deleting your account as described. We may also retain specific information for security, fraud prevention, or safety reasons, such as if an account is deactivated due to security concerns.
Our privacy policy is subject to periodic updates or changes. We make efforts to inform users of significant modifications, but it is ultimately your responsibility to regularly review the most recent version to stay informed.
When changes are made, the "last updated" date will reflect the modification date. Continuing to use or access Yah Live Services after the effective date of such changes means you accept and agree to the updated privacy policy.
