Last updated: July 1st, 2024

This Frogy LIVE Privacy Policy explains how Frogy LIVE and its affiliated companies (“Frogy” “we” “us”) process any personal data we collect from visitors and users of Frogy LIVE App, Frogy LIVE Telegram Mini App (TMA), www.frogy.live, and any other services provided in relation to the applications and website or that link to this Privacy Policy(collectively, the “Frogy Services”).

We value the privacy of users, subscribers, publishers, members, and others who visit and use the Frogy Services (collectively or individually, “you” or “users”) and want you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from and about you.

You may share personal information when using the Frogy Services. One example is when you provide information about yourself as part of the Frogy account creation process. Another is when you take certain actions on the Frogy Services that are public or intended to be public in nature, such as when you broadcast content, post profile information, follow a channel, or subscribe to a broadcast channel. Given the social nature of some of the Frogy Services, that information may be collected, used, or disclosed by others who are part of that social interaction. In addition, some features of the Frogy Services are designed to provide others with information about user activity, such as identifying the user who created a particular Clip or the subscription status of users for a given channel. We encourage you to be mindful of this when considering your activity on the Frogy Services.
