1. Information we collect and how we use it

Information we collect:

There are three basic categories of information we collect:

• Information you provide.
• 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.

A. Information You Provide

When you interact with our services, we collect information that you provide to us. For example, most of our services require you to set up a Nojoto account. We may also ask you to provide us with some additional information that will be publicly visible on our services, such as a profile picture. Other services, such as commerce products, may require you to provide us with a debit, credit card number or link PayTm account and its associated account information.

Account Information: To use the App, you may be required to create an account. During the account creation process, we may collect certain information, including your username, email address, and password.

Live Streaming Data: When you engage in live streaming activities or 1:1 call or video consulting service on the App, such as using your mobile phone or the website to conduct live streams, we do not record the live streaming content. The live-streaming sessions are consumed in real-time and are not available for replay on the platform. These calls and sessions are not recorded and are designed to be secure & private.

Keep in mind that the users who view your stories and any other content can always save that content or copy it outside the app. So, the same common sense that applies to the internet at large applies to Nojoto as well: Don’t share content that you wouldn’t want someone to save or share.
