Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 2025 — BuddyFy ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it.

1. Introduction

Welcome to BuddyFy — a video calling and live streaming app available at http://buddyfy.club/. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your choices about that information.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information automatically collected when you use the app.

  • Account Information: name, email, phone number, profile picture.
  • Media & Communication: images, videos, audio you upload or create for streaming/calls.
  • Device & Diagnostic Data: device model, OS, IP address, network status, crash logs, app usage (for performance and improvement).
  • In-app Purchase Data: purchase records (coins), transaction IDs; payment details are processed by third-party payment gateways.
  • Optional Location Data: if you grant location permission it may be used for region-based features (not required to use the app).

3. Permissions Used

To provide core functionality, BuddyFy requests the following Android permissions:

  • INTERNET — app connectivity
  • CAMERA — video calls and live streaming
  • RECORD_AUDIO / MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS — audio capture and call audio processing
  • READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / READ_MEDIA_VIDEO / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE — to let users upload media (photos/videos)
  • READ_PHONE_STATE — to manage interruptions during calls
  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE / ACCESS_WIFI_STATE — detect connectivity and optimize streaming
  • FOREGROUND_SERVICE — stable streaming/call behavior while app active
  • VIBRATE — call/notification vibration

You may decline permission requests; some app features will be limited without them.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To create and manage your BuddyFy account and profile.
  • To enable live streaming, video/audio calls, chat, and media sharing.
  • To process and verify in-app purchases (coins) via secure payment gateways.
  • To analyze and improve app performance, fix bugs, and prevent abuse or fraud.
  • To send transactional notifications and updates (with your consent where required).

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do NOT sell or rent personal data. We may share information in limited circumstances:

  • With payment processors to complete purchases (we do not store full payment card details).
  • With hosting and cloud providers that store or transmit data on our behalf under confidentiality agreements.
  • To comply with legal requests or to protect the rights, property or safety of BuddyFy, our users, or the public.

6. In-App Purchases

Coins and other purchases are processed by trusted third-party gateways. Billing/payment details are handled by those providers and are subject to their privacy policies. We keep records of transactions for customer support and fraud prevention.

7. Account Creation, Access & Deletion

You can create an account using your email or phone. You can update your profile (including profile images) from the app.

Account deletion: To delete your account permanently, contact us at info@buddyfy.club or use the in-app deletion option (if available). After verification we will remove your personal data within a reasonable period, except for limited records we must retain for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention reasons.

8. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable measures — encryption in transit (HTTPS), secure servers, and access controls — to protect your information. No system is completely secure; if a breach occurs we will follow applicable laws and notify affected users where required.

9. Children

BuddyFy is intended for users aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If you believe we have collected a child’s data, contact us and we will promptly remove it.

10. Your Choices

  • Manage profile information and media from the app.
  • Turn off or revoke app permissions from your device settings (some features will stop working).
  • Request deletion of your account and personal data by contacting info@buddyfy.club.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. If changes are material we will notify via the app or by posting a prominent notice on our website. The “Effective date” at the top reflects the latest revision.
