Hawa's Privacy Policy

This Hawa Privacy Policy explains how Hawa (“Hawa” “we” “our”) handles any personal data we collect from visitors and users of our application-related services (collectively, the “Hawa Services”)

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

When using the Hawa Services, you may share personal information. One example is when you provide information about yourself during the process of creating a Hawa account. Another example is when you take certain public or intentionally public actions on the Hawa Services, such as when you post content, post profile information, etc. Given the social nature of some of the Hawa Services, this information may be collected, used or disclosed by others participating in that social interaction. In addition, certain features of the Hawa Services are designed to provide information about user activity to others, such as identifying the user who created a particular clip or the subscription status of a user of a particular channel. We encourage you to be aware of this when considering your activities on the Hawa Services.

Each time you upload a video, you can change who can see the video or image.

We may also share your information with other members of our group of companies, subsidiaries or affiliates to improve, optimize the platform and prevent illegal use.

We may share your personal information outside of the Hawa Services with your consent, whether explicit or implicit.

We may disclose your personal information to members of our corporate group (i.e. entities that control us, are controlled by us, or are under common control with us) to the extent necessary for the Services, customer management, content customization, advertising, analytics, authentication, functionality and security, and compliance.

We may disclose your personal information to authorized service providers who provide certain services on our behalf.

4. International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be processed by us (and our trusted third-party vendors) outside of your country of residence, including in countries where data protection and privacy laws or regulations may be the same or equivalent to those in your country of residence. Subject to applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal information remains protected and secure when transferred outside of your country to jurisdictions that have a lower level of protection for personal data. These measures include, where applicable, transfers pursuant to data transfer agreements that implement standard data protection clauses.

We may also transfer your personal information outside of your country of residence in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations.

However, please note that we cannot completely eliminate the security risks associated with storing and transmitting your personal information. You should exercise caution when submitting information through the Hawa Services and should be particularly careful when deciding what information to provide to us.
