Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Directed, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Directed," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and discloses information in connection with our websites, applications, and services (collectively, the "Services").

This Privacy Policy applies to directed.ai and all associated subdomains, as well as any web applications and mobile applications operated by Directed.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect information you choose to provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, participate in group video chats, communicate with us, or otherwise use the Services. This may include:

• Name, username, or other account identifiers
• Email address or other contact information
• Content you submit, including text, audio, and video

Camera and Microphone Access

Our web and mobile applications include group video chat features with AI functionality. To provide these features, we may request access to your device's camera and microphone. Audio and video are used to enable real-time communication and related functionality within the Services.

Google Account and Google Contacts

If you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information from your Google account, such as your name, email address, and profile picture. With your permission, we also access your Google contacts (including Google's "other contacts"), which may include names, email addresses, phone numbers, and organizations. Granting the contacts permission is optional; you can decline it and still use the Services.

Information Collected Automatically

When you access or use the Services, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device information (such as device type, operating system, and browser)
• IP address and general location information
• Usage data, such as pages viewed, features used, and interactions

2. Google User Data

We use Google user data only to provide user-facing features of the Services:

• Signing you in and setting up your account and profile
• Suggesting people you may know on Directed, by matching your contacts against registered users; where contact details are used for matching, we compare one-way hashed identifiers
• Letting you view your imported contacts and auto-completing email addresses when you invite someone to a chat

We do not use Google user data for advertising, and we do not sell it. We do not transfer it to third parties except as necessary to provide these features (for example, to our hosting providers), to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger or acquisition with notice to you.

We keep your imported Google contacts while your account is active and refresh them when you sign in with Google. You can delete them at any time from within the Services or by contacting us, and you can revoke Directed's access to your Google data at any time in your Google account settings.

Directed's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Services
• Enable group video chat and AI-powered features
• Maintain security and prevent fraud or abuse
• Communicate with you about the Services
• Comply with legal obligations

4. How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

• With service providers who perform services on our behalf
• With other users, as necessary to enable group video chat features
• To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes
• In connection with a merger, sale, or other business transaction

5. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

6. Your Choices

You may control certain information through your account settings or device permissions, including camera and microphone access. You may also contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, subject to applicable law.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no security system is completely secure.

8. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date when changes are made.
