Personal data will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws and regulations. When personal data is no longer needed, it will be securely disposed of or anonymized, unless otherwise required by law.
We will retain and keep your profile information and content for the duration of your Account.
As a general rule, we retain and keep other identifiable personal data we collect when you use our platform services and products as long as required by law.
The internet has a way of retaining contents for a long time and public content can exist elsewhere even after you remove it from UhuruChat. Search engines, cookies and other third parties and partners may also retain copies of your posts, creations, comments, uploads longer in accordance with their own privacy policies.
When you violate our rules and your account is suspended, we may keep the markers and identifiers you used in creating the account (i.e., email address or phone number) for as long as it takes to prevent repeat service terms and policy offenders from creating new accounts.
As a general rule, we will keep certain information longer than our policies specify in order to comply with legal requirements, for safety and security reasons and if generally in the public interest.
UhuruChat takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We limit access to personal information to authorized employees and third-party service providers who need to know the information to perform their duties. We regularly review and update our security measures to ensure they are effective and appropriate.
You have the right and ability to access, delete or change your settings so you are effectively in charge of your data and determine what you choose to provide to us.
It is your right and responsibility to access, modify and correct the personal information and data you have provided to us. You do this through your profile, settings and adjustment features, where applicable. You may also send a request to us to access additional information. You can also download a copy of your information by following the appropriate instructions or directions.
In order to protect your privacy and ensure security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with a deletion, portability, or other related request. Please be advised that there are situations in which we may and must, in certain situations, reject your request for access, correction, or portability, for example, we may reject access where you are unable to verify your identity.

We provide UhuruChat to people all over the world and provide many of the same privacy tools and controls to all of our users regardless of where they live. However, it can be expected that your usage experience may differ from other users in other countries or jurisdictions in an effort to ensure UhuruChat respects local statutes and requirements.
UhuruChat is available and can be accessed in multiple countries and jurisdictions and that allows you to effortlessly engage, communicate, interact and build relationships and have conversations on a global scale around the world. UhuruChat therefore sometimes moves information across borders, continents and to different countries around the world to support the safe, secure and reliable services and products you depend on our platform — from Canada to the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia, people are engaging in conversations amongst one another in real time and with ease.
Our services are not directed to children. You may not use our platform products and services if you are under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13.
You must also be age appropriate and of a consenting age to give permissions to the use and processing of your personal data in your country. Some countries' laws, statutes and policies allow parents and guardians to provide the required consent on your behalf.
If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers and platforms.
The most current version of this Privacy Policy governs and regulates our processing and use of your personal data and information. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in business operations, legal or regulatory requirements, or industry best practices.
The updated Policy will be communicated to employees, contractors, and other relevant parties, and will be made available on the Company's website or other communication channels.
