AmanzMe Privacy Policy

Effective 1 January 2022. Last revised 1 January 2022

We want you to understand how and why Amanz Media Sdn Bhd (0977772-T) ("Amanz,” “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our sites, mobile apps, and other online products and services (collectively, the “Services”) or when you otherwise interact with us or receive a communication from us. This Privacy Policy applies to all of our Services.

What We Collect (and How it is Used and Shared)

Information You Provide to Us
We collect information you provide to us directly when you use the Services. This includes:

Account information
If you create an AmanzMe account, we may require you to provide a username and password. Your username is public, and it doesn’t have to be related to your real name. You may also provide other account information, like an email address, bio, or profile picture. We also store your user account preferences and settings.

Content you submit
We collect the content you submit to the Services. This includes your comments and your reports and other communications with us. Your content may include text, links, images, gifs, and videos.

Actions you take
We collect information about the actions you take when using the Services. This includes your interactions with content, like voting, saving, hiding, and reporting.

Other information
You may choose to provide other information directly to us. For example, we may collect information when you fill out a form, participate in activities or promotions, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us.
Information We Collect Automatically
When you access or use our Services, we may also automatically collect information about you. This includes:

Log and usage data
We may log information when you access and use the Services. This may include your IP address, user-agent string, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, pages visited, links clicked, the requested URL, and search terms. Except for the IP address used to create your account, we will delete any IP addresses collected after 100 days.
Information Collected by Third Parties

Embedded content
Our apps displays some linked content in-line via "embeds". For example, Amanz posts may have links to YouTube or Twitter and loads the linked video or tweet within the app directly from those services to your device so you don’t have to leave Amanz to see it. In general, we do not control how third-party services collect data when they serve you their content directly via these embeds. As a result, embedded content is not covered by this privacy policy but by the policies of the service from which the content is embedded.

Audience measurement
We use Google Analytics for the sole purpose of identifying the total number of users and the demographic of our users on all of our apps and sites. All data collected from Google Analytics is anonymous and does not link back to the user.

We use information about you to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Services;
  • Research and develop new services;
  • Help protect the safety of our Services and our users, which includes blocking suspected spammers, addressing abuse, and enforcing the AmanzMe User Agreement and our other policies;
  • Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, invoices, and other support and administrative messages;
  • Provide customer service;
  • Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services;

Much of the information on the Services is public and accessible to everyone, even without an account. By using the Services, you are directing us to share this information publicly and freely.

When you submit content to a public part of the Services, any visitors to and users of our Services will be able to see that content, the username associated with the content, and the date and time you originally submitted the content.

Your AmanzMe account has a profile page that is public. Your profile contains information about your activities on the Services, such as your username and bio.

We offer social sharing features that let you share content or actions you take on our Services with other media. Your use of these features enables the sharing of certain information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the third party that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the third parties that provide these social sharing features (e.g., Facebook, and Twitter).

How We Protect Your Information

We take measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we use HTTPS while information is being transmitted. We also enforce technical and administrative access controls to limit which of our employees have access to nonpublic personal information.

We store the information we collect for as long as it is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes or as required by law.

Changes to this policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will let you know by revising the date at the top of the policy. If the changes, in our sole discretion, are material, we may also notify you by sending an email to the address associated with your account or by otherwise providing notice through our Services. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access or use our Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy. By continuing to use our Services after Privacy Policy changes go into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised policy.
