Security of our customers’ information is very important to us, and we take a range of measures to help protect it, including encryption. Even so, no security measure is 100% perfect.

You must provide an e-mail address to create a Better Quests account. If you don’t provide us with this information, you will not be able to create an account to use our Services. You can add other optional information to your account, such as a profile picture, first name, last name, phone, street, city, state, zipcode, country, company name; only if you want.
If you are using our Voipas app, you will have to provide additional data like: name, age, birth date, sex, occupation, studying or working schedule, virtual assistant’s sex, name. This information can be fictional too. The application will provide a customized experience based on the provided information.

If you are using the in-app chat functions, you will have to choose an online username, alphanumeric, that other users can use it to contact you. This could also be fictional and it’s better to not use your real name. Premium users can change their username more than once. We offer end-to-end encryption for the chat messages. Your Status (online/offline) and mood (emoticon – if set) are visible to your friends, in the friends list. Premium users have the possibility to know the last time you were using the chat (“last seen”).

Google AdMob is a mobile advertising platform provided by Google that allows us to display relevant ads on our mobile applications.

Google customers use tags on web pages and an SDK for mobile apps to enable Google measurement products. The measurement data collected helps customers understand their users’ needs and, optionally, personalize the user experience and offer relevant advertising.
Google tags and the SDK use cookies and app instance IDs, respectively, to measure user interaction.
Google collects information to provide better services to all their users — from figuring out basic stuff like which language you speak, to more complex things like which ads you’ll find most useful, the people who matter most to you online, or which YouTube videos you might like. The information Google collects, and how that information is used, depends on how you use the services and how you manage the privacy controls. When you’re not signed in to a Google Account, Google stores the information they collect with unique identifiers tied to the browser, application, or device you’re using. This allows Google to do things like maintain your preferences across browsing sessions, such as your preferred language or whether to show you more relevant search results or ads based on your activity. When you’re signed in, Google also collects information that is stored with your Google Account, which is treated as personal information.
Google Analytics collects first-party cookies, data related to the device/browser, IP address and on-site/app activities to measure and report statistics about user interactions on the websites and/or apps that use Google Analytics.
Protection Of Your Vital Interests Or Those Of Another Person
For protecting your vital interests or those of another person, we conduct manual (human) review. We share information with law enforcement and others, in circumstances where someone’s vital interests require protection, such as in the case of emergencies. These vital interests include protection of your or someone else’s life, physical or mental health, wellbeing or integrity or that of others.
In protecting such vital interests we aim to combat harmful conduct and promote safety, integrity and security. For example, we investigate reports of harmful conduct and take appropriate action, such as sharing information with relevant authorities, where there is a risk of imminent harmful conduct such as an attack or where a person’s safety is at risk.
Law enforcement and legal requests
We preserve and share information with others including law enforcement and to respond to legal requests. This includes responding to legal requests where we are not compelled by applicable law but have a good faith belief it is required by law in the relevant jurisdiction or sharing information with law enforcement or industry partners/peers such as other online platforms and technology companies to combat abusive or illegal behaviour. For example, we preserve a snapshot of user information when requested by law enforcement where necessary for the purposes of an investigation.
We may also report illegal or infringing content to law enforcement, government or other authorities.
It is in our interest and in the interest of WhatsApp users to prevent and address fraud, unauthorised use of Voipas, violations of our Terms and policies, or other harmful or illegal activity.
It is in our interest to protect ourselves (including our rights, personnel, property or products), our users or others, including as part of investigations or regulatory inquiries; or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm.
We preserve and share information when we seek legal advice or seek to protect ourselves in the context of litigation and other disputes. This includes matters such as violations of our Terms and policies.
To promote safety, integrity and security outside of the performance of our contract with you, we analyse users’ Device and Connection Information to identify and investigate patterns of suspicious behaviour or violations of our policies and Terms.
Retention of Your Information
We store information for as long as necessary for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our Services, or for other legitimate purposes, such as complying with legal obligations, enforcing and preventing violations of our Terms, to fight spam, or protecting or defending our rights, property and users. The actual information that we keep and how long we keep it for depends on the nature of the reason in question.
