Emochi: Chat With Character

"We gather essential information from your devices and applications, such as device name, device identifier, device activation time, hardware model, operating system version, application version, software identification code, device and application settings (e.g., region, language, time zone, font size). This also includes mobile network data like PLMN and cell identification codes for the device's location, as well as IP addresses."

Emochi collects extensive device identifiers, hardware details, software configurations, and mobile network data including cell tower IDs, which goes well beyond what a chat app requires for core functionality.

"This also includes mobile network data like PLMN and cell identification codes for the device's location, as well as IP addresses to enhance service functionality and security."

Emochi collects cell tower identification codes (which can triangulate physical location) and IP addresses, enabling passive location tracking without explicit GPS permission.

"To enhance the efficiency and precision of the message delivery system, we will integrate third-party SDKs for push notification services. These services may be active in both the user interface and server-side components to ensure uninterrupted functionality. When enabled, the system will collect and use your name to facilitate the timely dispatch of messages and notifications via the integrated push SDK service."

Emochi integrates third-party SDKs that collect user data directly, including the user's name. The SDK details section is conspicuously blank (empty brackets), making it impossible to know which third parties receive your data.

"Advertising Cookies: Designed to deliver targeted advertising based on your online activity, these cookies help us to present content and advertisements that are most relevant to your interests. ... Emochi does not alter its data processing practices in response to the 'Do Not Track' setting or similar features."

Emochi uses advertising cookies to track online activity for targeted ads and explicitly ignores Do Not Track browser signals, enabling cross-site behavioral profiling.

"We may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will alert you to any such changes by placing a notice on the Emochi application, by sending you an email and/or by some other means. Please note that if you've opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven't provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes."

Emochi can change the privacy policy at any time, and continued use constitutes acceptance. Even if you haven't provided an email or opted out of notices, the changes still bind you.

"We retain Personal Data about you for as long as you have an open account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide you with our Services. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally."

There is no specific deletion timeline. Data can be retained indefinitely under broad justifications like 'resolve disputes' or anything 'permitted by applicable law,' and anonymized data is kept forever.
