Privacy Policy
Omega is a video chat mobile application. You can meet cool and interesting people from all over
the world, enjoy fun chats, and make new friends on our platform.
This Privacy Policy covers what EXU(HK) Limited (“Omega” “Omega Platform” “we” “our” ) does with
the
Personal Information (as defined herein) that you share with us and the data we collect when you
are accessing our Platform and/or our Service.
Personal Information about our users is an integral part of our business, so please read this
Privacy Policy carefully. By using or accessing our Platform or our Service, you agree to the
privacy
policies outlined below.
What Does this Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy covers Omega's treatment of Personal Information that we collect while you
are using the Platform and the Service. This policy does not apply to the practices of third
parties
that Omega does not own or control, including but not limited
to third party services you access through Omega, the Platform or the Service, or to individuals
that
Omega does not employ or manage. As our Service integrates with third party sites, and other
sites and social networks, we assume
that you are already aware of the privacy policies of those other sites and networks when using
our Platform and/or our Service and when you allow us to interact with these sites and networks
on
your behalf.
The Service
The key functionality of Omega is a video chat mobile application where users can meet cool and
interesting people from all over the world, enjoy fun chats, and make new friends on our
platform. It pairs individuals (“Users”) together based on compatibility
and other factors, and to enable individuals to chat and communicate online through various
media including text, and video (collectively, the “Service”).
According to relevant international regulations, Omega will not provide the Service in the
following countries or territories:
Cuba
Iran
Syria
North Korea
Crimea
Information We Collect
There are three basic ways we collect information:
- Information you choose to give us
- Information we get when you use our services
- Information we get from third parties
Here’s a little more detail on each of these categories.
Information You Choose to Give Us
By visiting and interacting with Omega, its Platform and/or its Service, you provide us with
Personal
Information which may include, but is not limited to, the following:
- Personally Identifiable Information: may include, without limitation, the information
provided when you register to use the Platform and/or the Service, including your name,
profile picture, date of birth, phone number, phone book content, address, email address,
occupation, employer, gender, age, birthday, and friend list, and/or other social network
usernames and ‘likes' and preferences, friend lists and a number of friends you have via
social networks, messages to other users of the Platform and the Service, use information
regarding your use of the Service, profile picture that you upload via the Platform or the
Service, and browser information.
- The information you choose to provide above may be shared with your contacts on our
service. You have total control over your profile information and you can modify it at any
time. Your Profile is available to other users of the Service who are connected to you on
our service. In addition, unless you opt-out (which you may do so at any time in the
settings of our application), your Profile is discoverable by other users. You may choose to
“block” any user on our platform to prevent unwanted access to your Personal Information.
- You may also choose to share your mobile device’s Contacts list with us (including names,
numbers, emails, Apple ID, etc) and we will store it on our servers to help you better
improve our service, e.g. connect with friends on our service. If you do not want us to
store this information, you may opt-out through your account settings or notify us via
email. If done so, we will not be able to offer some of the features of our service.
Of course, you’ll also provide us with whatever information you send through the services.
Keep in
mind that the users you send texts, images, and any other content to can always save that
content or copy it outside the Platform. So, the
same common sense that applies to the Internet at large applies to Omega as well: Don’t send
messages or share content that you wouldn’t want someone to save or share.
It probably goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: When you contact Omega Support or
communicate with us in any other way, we’ll collect whatever information you volunteer.
Information We Get When You Use Our Services
When you use our services, we collect information about which of those services you’ve used and
how you’ve used them. We might know, for instance, how many people you’ve had a video chat
conversation with and for how long. Here’s a
fuller explanation of the types of information we collect when you use our services:
Usage Information. We collect information about your activity through our services. We may
collect information including but not limited to:
- Content uploaded through the video stream when using the service through video chat. It
includes creating or uploading different kinds of content to the Platform, including without
limitation, photos, text, messages, posts, html, URLs,
pictures, video and other content (collectively, “User Contributed Content”), and the metadata
that is provided with the content. As you upload User Contributed Content, you should be mindful
of your privacy as well as the privacy
of others.
- How you communicate with other Omega users, such as their names, the time and date of your
communications, the number of messages you exchange with your friends, which friends you
exchange messages with the most, and your interactions
with messages (such as when you open a message or capture a screenshot). We allow you to share
text messages, photos, screenshots, videos and other forms of communication on our service with
other users, and if you choose to do
so your text messages, photos, screenshots, videos and other communications may be stored on our
servers. In addition, if you choose to share these items with other users, we may not be able to
remove them from our servers or make
them unavailable to anyone you have shared them with. Sending and sharing text messages, photos,
screenshots, videos or other communications on our service 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. We are not responsible for any use or misuse of the information you share.
- Device Information. We collect device-specific information, such as the hardware model,
operating system version, advertising identifier, unique application identifiers, unique device
identifiers, browser type, language, wireless
network, none direct display of content moderation, and mobile network information (including
the mobile phone number).
- User content e.g. photos, screenshots, comments, and other materials that you create on the
service may also be collected. Your photos and videos may be captured by other users on the
service, and those content can be stored and
used by us or third party services for content moderation and community safety monitoring
purposes. You can change third party sharing options in our product settings or write to us
directly.
- Device Phonebook. Because Omega is all about communicating with friends, we may—with your
consent—collect information from your device’s phonebook.

location.

that include GPS, wireless networks,
cell towers, Wi-Fi access points, and other sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and
compasses.

about you. We may also obtain information from other companies that are owned or operated by us,
or any other third-party sources, and
combine that with the information we collect through our services.

because it may not be clear whether a new friend request comes from someone you actually
know,
we may share whether you and the requestor have Omega friends in common;

access your device phonebook, we may share information about you with other users who have
your

Finally—and this is important—you should understand that users who see the content you provide
can always save it using any number of techniques: screenshots, Platform functionality, or any
other image-capture technology. It’s also possible,
as with any digital information, that someone might be able to access messages forensically or
find them in a device’s temporary storage. If any deletion of user information of our Platform
happens, we cannot promise that deletion will
occur within a specific timeframe. And we may also retain certain information in backup for a
limited period of time or as required by law.
How we protect Your Information
Protecting user privacy and personal information is a top priority for us. We process your
personal information to improve and enforce our security measures, combat spam, malware,
malicious activities, or security risks, and to monitor

to any user information is restricted to our employees, contractors, agents, and third-party
service providers ONLY whom needs to know
the information in order to provide, operate, develop, maintain, support, and optimize the our
service experience and security. We use password protection, access logs, and system monitoring
to safeguard the confidentiality and
security of all user information.
Due to the inherent nature of the internet and related technology, we do not guarantee the
protection of information under our control against loss, misuse, or alteration.
Control over Your Information
We want you to be in control of your information, so we provide you with the following tools.
- Access and Updates. We strive to let you access and control the personal information that we
have about you. There are limits though to the requests we’ll accommodate. We may reject a
request for a number of reasons, including, for
example, that the request risks the privacy of other users or is unlawful. You can access and
update your account information right on the Platform by visiting the Platform’s Settings page.
If you
need to access, update, or delete any other
personal information that we may have, you can send an email request to support@omega.app.

additional information before we let you
access or update your personal information. You can also remove our service from your mobile
device or process account deletion.
- Revoking Permissions. If you change your mind about our ongoing ability to collect information
from certain sources that you have already consented to, such as your phonebook, camera, photos,
or location services, you can revoke your consent by changing the settings on your device if
your device offers those options.
Of course, if you do that, certain services may lose full functionality.

circumstances. Please note that your right to erasure may be limited if the data are necessary

claims;
Analytics and Advertising Services Provided by Others
We may let other companies use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies on the
services. These companies may collect information about how you use the services and other
websites and online services over time and across
different services. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data,
determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your online activity.
Additionally, some companies may use the information they collect on our services to deliver
targeted advertisements on behalf of us or other companies, including on third-party websites
and apps. Omega does not currently respond to
do-not-track signals that may be sent from your device. If we do so in the future, we will
provide information about that practice in an updated version of this privacy policy.
Data Access and Removal
You can choose to remove your data anytime you want. If you ask us to delete your account, we
will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove your data from our servers, subject to any
applicable legal or other requirement to maintain
certain records of your personally identifiable data. Please note that the deletion of your
personally identifiable data from our database may result in us not being able to provide you
with the Service.

Platform. Alternatively, you can send your email request to support@omega.app.
Retention of Your Data
We will keep your personal data only for so long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined
in this Privacy Policy, unless the law requires us to keep it for a longer period. Once we no
longer need your personal data, we will
either irreversibly anonymize or securely delete it from our servers.
Underage Users
Our services are not intended for—and we don’t direct them to—anyone under 18. Anyone under 18
is not allowed to use our Services. Therefore we do not collect the user information of anyone
under the age of 18. In the event that the information you provide
in this regard is not truthful, Omega shall not be liable as it cannot verify the age of its
users. If you are under 18 years old, do not attempt to register or use the Platform or the
Service.
If you are under the age of 18, you may
NOT use the Service, with or without the approval of a parent or guardian.
Revisions to the Privacy Policy
We may change this privacy policy from time to time. But when we do, we’ll let you know one way
or another. Sometimes, we’ll let you know by revising the date at the top of the privacy policy
that’s available on our website and mobile
application. Other times, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement
to our websites’ homepages or providing you with an Platform notification).
