MB WhatsApp Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to MB WhatsApp. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our modified messaging application. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices. By using MB WhatsApp, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.

Information We Collect

When you use MB WhatsApp, we collect various types of information to provide and improve our services. We collect information you provide directly to us during registration, including your phone number, profile name, profile picture, and status message. Additionally, we collect the messages you send and receive, including text messages, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, and location data when you choose to share it.

We also collect device information such as your mobile device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information, and IP address. Usage data is collected to understand how you interact with our application, including the features you use, the time and duration of your activities, and crash reports that help us identify and fix technical issues.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect serves multiple purposes essential to delivering our messaging services. We use your phone number to verify your identity and prevent unauthorized access to your account. Your contact list is accessed to help you connect with other MB WhatsApp users and to display information about your contacts who also use the application.

Your messages and media are processed to deliver them to intended recipients and to provide features such as message backup and restore functionality. We use device and usage information to maintain and improve the performance of MB WhatsApp, fix bugs, develop new features, and ensure the security of our platform. This information also helps us understand user preferences and optimize the user experience.

We employ advanced encryption protocols to protect your messages during transmission. However, it is important to understand that while we implement security measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. However, there are specific circumstances under which we may share your information. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating our application, such as cloud storage providers and technical support services. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, and you will be notified of any such change in ownership.

We do not share your message content with advertisers or use it for advertising purposes within our application. Your conversations remain private between you and your recipients.

Data Storage and Security

MB WhatsApp stores your data on secure servers located in various data centers. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, firewalls, and secure socket layer technology to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Your messages may be temporarily stored on our servers to facilitate delivery, especially when the recipient is offline, and are typically deleted once successfully delivered.

If you enable the backup feature, your chat history, media, and settings are stored in cloud storage services. These backups are encrypted, but the level of encryption may vary depending on the storage provider. You have control over backup settings and can choose to disable this feature at any time.

Despite our security efforts, please be aware that no security system is impenetrable. We encourage you to take additional steps to protect your account, such as using strong passwords, enabling two-step verification, and keeping your device’s operating system updated.

Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can access and update your profile information, including your name, profile picture, and status message, directly within the application settings. You have the right to delete your account at any time, which will remove your profile information and message history from our active servers, though some information may remain in backup copies for a limited period.

You can control who can see your profile photo, status, and last seen timestamp through our privacy settings. You also have the choice to block specific users or report abusive behavior. Our platform allows you to manage your data retention preferences, including how long messages are stored and whether backups are created.

You can opt out of sharing certain information, such as your location or contacts, though this may limit some functionality of the application. We provide tools within the app to export your data and review the information we have collected about you.

Children’s Privacy

MB WhatsApp is not intended for use by individuals under the age of thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. If we become aware that a child under thirteen has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. Parents and guardians who believe their child has provided information to us should contact our support team.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the application and updating the effective date. Your continued use of MB WhatsApp after such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

Contact Information

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact our support team through the in-app help center. We are committed to addressing your privacy concerns promptly and transparently.

Your privacy is important to us, and we strive to maintain the trust you place in MB WhatsApp. By using our services, you entrust us with your information, and we take that responsibility seriously. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically and to make informed decisions about the information you share through our platform.
