  • Payment facilitators.

Please be informed that when you delete some information or your account, some or all of your information may remain on our servers, but you will not be able to access it.

We keep the information as long as we need it to provide our products, comply with legal obligations, or protect our or others' interests. We decide how long we need information on a case-by-case basis. Here's what we consider when we decide:

  • If we need it to provide or operate our products and services.
  • The feature we use it for, and how that feature works. For example, we organize messages in groups. Hence any chat deletion request would delete messages only from groups prior to the current one for the specific user.
  • We retain information as long as we need it either to comply with applicable law or for any legal request, obligation, governmental investigation, legal claim, complaint, litigation, or regulatory proceedings.
  • If we need it for other legitimate purposes, such as to prevent harm; investigate possible violations of our policies or terms; promote safety, security, and integrity; or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products.

  3. Rectification: if the data held is inaccurate, you have the right to have it corrected.
  4. Erasure: you have the right to have your data deleted in certain circumstances.
  5. Restrict processing: you can withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data, wherever applicable.
  6. Lodge a complaint: you have the right to make a complaint with your national supervisory authority if you believe that your privacy rights have been breached.

You may be required to provide certain proof of identity so that We do not disclose personal data to those that are not entitled to it.

If your personal data is erased at your request or in accordance with our data retention policy, we only retain such information that is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or to comply with a legal obligation.

You can either exercise your rights by deleting certain features through your device or by emailing us at support[at]oyari.com to exercise all the other rights.

Please note that all requests should be emailed to us at support[at]oyari.com. Due to the sheer volume of messages, in-app customer support messages cannot be regarded as an effective method of notice to us.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to keep any information in our archives that we deem necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

  • Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent (such as for advertising), then you can withdraw your consent at any time in the Settings section. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. Please note that if you opt out of having your data shared with advertisers, you will still see ads, they just will not be tailored to your interests.
