The Application is intended for people who are competent to contract under applicable law. Individuals who are less than 18 years old are not permitted to use this application unless the complete Agreement is seen and agreed by parents or their legal guardians under applicable law. You confirm that You are at least 18 year old or otherwise competent to contract including with consent of Your parent/legal guardian as may be required under applicable law.
This Policy is part of our Terms of Service and applies to the Personally Identifiable Information that is collected in connection with the download, installation and use of the Application and related services. By using the Application or the Site You signify Your assent to this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of Your Personally Identifiable Information as described herein.

1. Information Collection
“Personally Identifiable Information” means any information that either on its own or when combined with certain other information can identify an individual and for the purpose of this Privacy Policy usually limited to Your mobile phone number or address book contact numbers.
AyeLabz may obtain the following types of information from or concerning You or Your mobile device, which may include personal information that can be used to identify You as specified below:
User Provided Information: You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information, such as Your mobile phone number, name and mobile device information to AyeLabz when choosing to participate in the use of the AyeLabz application, such as registering as a user, messaging other AyeLabz users, posting status updates, uploading images. In order to provide the AyeLabz service, AyeLabz shall periodically access Your address book or contact list on Your mobile phone to locate the mobile phone numbers of other AyeLabz users. To ensure a better user experience, AyeLabz may also at times, access names stored in Your address book to ensure any incoming messages and push notifications via the SMS feature have a name associated with them. For instance, if AyeLabz cannot access names on Your address book, when a non- AyeLabz user responds to a SMS sent from AyeLabz, the incoming reply will show the non-AyeLabz users number and not the name.
“Last Seen” information is available and displayed to each user whom You have added in Your list (and which You have not blocked), and reflects the last approximate time the AyeLabz application has been backgrounded or brought to the foreground on Your mobile phone. “Last Seen” information is reported to AyeLabz when a user brings the mobile application to the foreground or quits it.
AyeLabz may receive data whenever You connect with an application or site through AyeLabz (such as during status update, when You connect to other sites and in which case AyeLabz posts to these sites on Your behalf ). This may include date and time You visit the site, the web address, IP address information, browser and if You are logged into AyeLabz and Your authentication tokens used on such sites. Your authentication tokens may be saved on the server for the sole purpose of seamless posting to the same site by You in the future through AyeLabz.
AyeLabz does not collect addresses or other contact information from its users’ mobile address book other than mobile phone numbers; associated email ID’s and names associated with such mobile phone numbers. The AyeLabz mobile application will associate whatever name the AyeLabz user has assigned to the mobile telephone number in his/her mobile address book. As a result, if You have Your friend’s mobile phone number associated with the name “Doctor” or “Electrician” in Your mobile address book or its User Name as registered, that’s the name that will appear for that mobile phone number in Your AyeLabz list of contacts. We do not collect location data, but at time users may voluntarily share their location with other users via the AyeLabz application.
If the recipient can be messaged via the AyeLabz application, the message is delivered to that recipient via data service routed through our servers. Any messages that are undelivered are held on the AyeLabz servers until they can be delivered or for a period of 30 days whichever is earlier.
With the introduction of AyeLabz, any status update messages and profile image updates posted by AyeLabz is stored on our servers to facilitate the normal use of the Status Updates feature in AyeLabz and beyond. This includes but is not limited to the timestamp and the actual status update message.
AyeLabz may retain date and time stamp information associated with successfully delivered messages and the mobile phone numbers involved in the messages, as well as any other information which AyeLabz is legally compelled to collect in accordance with retention policies applicable under Indian law.
