Video Chat
App video chat service requires a direct connection
to be made between your device and the other user's Devise. To do this, it is
necessary to make your IP address available to the other user's Devise,
although it is not shown to the other user by App's interface. This is a
necessary part of how any P2P video chat system functions. If you are not
comfortable with this, use text mode instead.
1. OVERVIEW OF THE INFORMATION WE PROCESS FROM YOU
We may collect two
types of data and information from you, depending on your interaction with us.

Non-Personal Data. Non-Personal Data which is being gathered consists of technical
information, and may contain, among other things, the type of operating system
