Taimi Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 15, 2021

Taimi Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains all the privacy matters you may face when using our website, https://taimi.com and other websites run by Taimi (the “Website”) and Taimi’s mobile (the “App”), jointly the “Service”, operated by Social Impact Inc. (“Taimi” or “we”).

This Policy is an integral part of the Taimi’s Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and incorporated by reference into them. Please read this Policy carefully and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us at legal@taimi.com. In case you have any ongoing questions about how to exercise your rights, etc., you may also contact us at support@taimi.com.

Some services which may be employed by either Taimi or you to interact with the Services may have their own privacy rules (third-party privacy policies). Thus, if your personal data is processed by such services, such processing is governed by third-party privacy policies, not this present Policy.

By using the Service, you agree that collection and processing of your data will be covered by the terms of this Policy.

1. Initial Notice to Users

1.1. Here, at Taimi, we strive to protect your privacy. It goes without saying, by being a place for building the best connections between people, that the App exists as a vast social network, where users may share their experience, show emotions and just be themselves. All of those actions are connected to personal data sharing. Your “personal data” or just “data” means any information linked with you or the one that may identify you directly or indirectly as a person.

1.2. Privacy tips. Despite our best efforts, we cannot control how other users or third-party services may use your data. When using Taimi, you should presume that everything you post, share or message on the App may be publicly viewable and accessible, both by Taimi users and people outside the App. We want you to be careful about going public with your data, thus, we kindly ask you to follow our privacy recommendations as below:

  1. when you post information about yourself or use the messaging function, the amount of personal information you share is determined at your own risk.

  2. you share information with other users when you voluntarily disclose information on the Service (including your Taimi profile). That is why we recommend and encourage you to think carefully about the information you disclose about yourself. Please be careful with your data and make sure that the information you publish is data you feel comfortable being publicly viewable;

  3. we do not recommend that you put email addresses, URLs, instant messaging details, phone numbers, full names or addresses, credit card details, national identity numbers, drivers’ licence details and other important data on your Taimi profile or send that data via direct messages to people that you do not trust;

  4. we do not recommend that you share your sensitive data (religious denomination, sexual preferences, health details, political leanings, any kind of addictions, etc.) with other users. If you really desire to share this data safely (so as to set up more relevant connections, etc.), you may use Taimi tags features. With this regard to Taimi tags, please read section 1.3 hereof to find out the benefits of their use;

  5. photos that you share via Taimi may reveal much information about you; please inspect all of them for data or objects that you do not want to go public with before you upload or share your photos;

  6. please make sure you log out of your Taimi profile after use from either your or a third-party’s device since you never know who may get access to them;

  7. please do not share your access credentials (login, email, password, phone number, etc.) to Taimi or other social media profiles with anyone else;

  8. we recommend that you change your Taimi and other social media password from time to time;

  9. if you think or even have the slightest suspicion that someone may have had access to your Taimi or social media profile or access credentials, first of all, change them immediately; if you lost your access to the profile owing to third-party activity, we recommend that you contact us at support@taimi.com (if there is no access to Taimi profile) or report the issue to the relevant social media platform;

  10. we kindly draw your attention to the fact that you are the only person who must care about your access credentials’ safety. Remember that in the event they are compromised, a third party may get your data. We cannot guarantee your data security if you lose control of your account and do not notify Taimi about the issue.

1.3. Taimi tags. Instead of sharing some of your data in a text description of your profile, we recommend that you use Taimi tags to identify you as a person of a specific style. We find it a more secure and beneficial option since you may change them or hide them anytime you choose. Meanwhile, Taimi tags allow you to create better connections with people who may share your views and are more likely to say “hello”. You may also choose to add information about yourself that may be categorized as sensitive data under your local data privacy laws, e.g., when you add certain Taimi tags to your profile, such as your religion and political leanings, sexual preferences, health matters, etc. We do not usually indicate those tags as necessary for registration, so you may choose not to add that data. If you fill that information, including through adding certain tags to your profile, you are explicitly consenting to our processing of your information and making this public to other users. Still, all any time you are entitled to make us stop showing that data to others by deleting relevant tags in your profile settings, restricting some users from accessing your profile (in this case just blocked users will not see your data) or request that we delete your tags or other data at support@taimi.com.

2. Changes and Updates to Policy

2.1. Reasons of Updates. We may revise the Policy according to new developments or advances in legislation and the broader data protection landscape from time to time, so please check this page regularly to ensure you’re always up -to-date with any changes.

2.2. Communication on Updates. If we make any changes hereto that, in our sole discretion, are substantial, we will notify you by email (to the address associated with your profile) or via the App, post a notice within Taimi Services or make a notification appear in your profile when you next log in to Taimi before amendments become effective. A notification regarding other changes may be rendered to you by publishing at https://taimi.com/privacypolicy.

We do our utmost to protect our biggest value, sense of security of our users, so we may disclose your data to third parties in the following cases:

  1. we will cooperate with law enforcement inquiries from within or outside your country of residence where we are required to by law, where there is an investigation into alleged criminal behaviour or to protect the vital interests of a person.

  3. we may also cooperate with all third parties to enforce their intellectual property or other rights in the event we are notified of an offence by one of our users. Still, we will share your data if we receive respective and motivated legal request of such by the third party’s attorney-at-law, proving your violation only. We may share any personal data that we hold about you, depending on the nature of the request or the issue that we are dealing with. Please note, if we find no proof sufficiently established in an inquiry, we will not disclose your data;

  4. society may be cruel at times; wrong words or actions of others may hurt. Still, this is not a reason to harm yourself. Here, at Taimi, we believe that every issue can be fixed, and we are ready to share contact details of our partners who may offer professional help. If we detect suicidal behavior by our users, we may report such a case to the police or professional non-governmental organization, so as to prevent our users from making the biggest mistake of their lives.

If you are a parent, guardian or you believe that a user is underaged, please contact us by email at legal@taimi.com or report a profile via the relevant feature in the App.

5.5. Legal Bases. Legal bases are the grounds set forth by the GDPR on which we may process your data. We rely on following legal bases:

  1. performing of the contract with you — the main legal basis that we use to process your data. It includes mostly everything we do to provide you with services, under our Terms of Service and their appendices. You may restrict us from processing of your data, but please be advised that, in such a case, we will not be able to provide services to you. Please see section 8 to find out more;

  2. legal obligation — we may process your data when we have a legal obligation when it is required by applicable laws, e.g., in order to prevent fraud, assist law protection and enforcement bodies.

  3. Legitimate interest – we have a commercial interest to process with your personal data that is justified, balanced and does not infringe on your privacy (e.g. statistical reporting). Where the legal basis is legitimate interests, you have a right to object to our use of your data. Please see section 8 to find out more;

  4. consent — we may process some of your data when we have your consent to do so. Where the legal basis is consent, you can withdraw consent at any time. Please see section 8 to find out more.

5.6. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we may receive your personal data from any third parties (other users, any official bodies, third-party providers, etc.) when you connect your Taimi profile with other services, when we receive enquires, court orders, subpoenas, claims, etc.

5.7. We do not collect or store full credit card number information, though we may receive credit card-related information to help process future payments and summary information about transactions that do not include credit card or bank account numbers.

5.8. From time to time we may start surveys/feedbacks for research purposes and we may contact you to find out if you would like to take part. We may also contact you to find out if you would like to take part in marketing campaigns. Such activities are optional. If you do not wish to be contacted to take part in a survey or marketing campaign, please contact us at support@taimi.com or via the respective in-App feature. If you do not want to contact us but you also do not want to participate in our activities, please ignore our messages.

5.9. Since we rely on your consent to show you personalized ads, you are entitled to revoke your consent anytime and request that we stop using personalized ads towards you. Please contact us at support@taimi.com to strike off your consent. Meanwhile, if you opt-out of targeted advertising you will still see ads, though they will be less relevant to you.

6. Duration and Location of Processing; Data Transfer

6.1. Data Retention. Your data will be stored within the term of your use of the Services and up to the termination of such use (or upon agreement between you and Taimi) which means the deletion, blocking or suspension of your account on the mobile application and the restriction of your further use of the mobile application; we shall terminate the processing of your personal information, unless the special retention period for the storage of such data is set by the relevant legislation at the time.

6.2. Exemptions. In practice, we delete or anonymize your information upon termination of your profile or after two years of your continuous inactivity. There may be special rules applied in case that:

  1. we must hold your data to comply with applicable laws;

  2. we must hold your data to evidence our compliance with applicable laws;

  3. there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to hold the relevant data until it is resolved; or

  4. your data must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users’ safety and security (see section 6.6 hereof).

6.3. Terms of Deletion. All your data is to be fully erased (or anonymised) within 7 calendar days following deletion of your Taimi profile, except:

  1. livestreams records which are being stored up to 7 calendar days following a date of livestream;

  2. in-app features and subscription purchases which are being retained during the term of your subscription and 5 years from the deletion of your user account;

  3. support tickets, emails with our support team and your name (as identified in your email), as part of support tickets data that are being retained during the term of your subscription and 5 years from the deletion of your user account;

  4. hashed email address, phone number, IP address, profile ID (including, Taimi ID, Facebook ID, Snapchat ID, Apple ID) and device ID (NOT a device IMEI) associated with banned account which are being retained during the term of your subscription and 5 years from the deletion of your user account owing to our legitimate interest (see section 6.6 hereof);

6.4. Leftovers. When your account is deleted (as well as your data) from the Services, copies of your data may still be viewable, if your data has been previously shared with others, or copied or stored by other users or other third parties. We cannot control this, nor do we accept any liability for this. If you have given third party applications or websites access to your data, they may retain such information to the extent permitted under their own privacy policies.

6.5. Removed and deleted data may be hosted in backup copies for up to 30 days, but will not be available to others in the meantime. We put that backup data ‘beyond use’. At the end of this period, these data will be permanently deleted.

6.6. At all times you are entitled to restrict us to process your data by sending to us a data erasure request or a notice of prohibition to process your data. Please be warned that:

  1. such action prohibits us to process your data and/or makes us delete your data so you will lose your access to the Website and Services;

  2. if your Taimi profile is banned, a data erasure request will not release you from prohibition to use Taimi Services;

  3. if your profile is blocked, your other Taimi profiles may also be blocked as part of our anti-spam and anti-fraud procedures.

6.7. Enforcing of Prohibition to Use Taimi. In the event that your profile is blocked, banned or otherwise disabled owing to any violation of applicable law or a violation of the Terms of Use or the provisions of this Policy, you will be prohibited from further creation of new profiles and using the Services again.

Accordingly, we will keep on processing data listed in section 6.3(f) hereof (the “technical data”) in order to prevent your further registration and potential violations. Please note that:

  1. the technical data is not subject to erasing under article 17 of the GDPR; hence, we will process it on the basis of our legitimate interest, which is a separate ground of processing;

  2. our legitimate interest does not outweigh your right to privacy, because the way that we use the technical data does not significantly impact your privacy, and we have a compelling reason to do so (recital 47 of the GDPR). This reason is to restrict you from breaching yet another obligation under the Taimi’s Terms of Service and potentially harm us or our users;

6.8. Location of Servers; Data Transfer. Our servers are based in the USA and EU, so your data may be processed and hosted outside the EU. We inform you that:

  1. we use EU servers to collect and process EU and UK residents’ data;

  2. we use USA servers to collect and process data of users from the rest of the countries;

  3. if we transfer personal data collected within the EEA to countries with not adequate level of data protection, we use one of the following legal bases: (i) Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (details available here (or any new version of contractual clauses issued by a data protection body (if any)) , or (ii) the European Commission adequacy decisions about certain countries (details available here).
