Privacy

Goat Tea is a mobile app to compliment your friends. Users answer polls about their friends. When you select a friend in a poll, they will receive a notification that a friend has voted on them. Because Goat Tea is designed for teenagers, we care deeply about safety and user privacy. We try to limit the data we collect to what is necessary to use the app and connect with friends.

At Goat Tea, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Goat Tea and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.

Log Files

Goat Tea follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they use app. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the app, tracking users&apos movement on the app, and gathering demographic information.

Data Collection And Use

Account Data

When you sign up for an account on Goat Tea, you are asked to enter your phone number, name, school, grade level, gender, username, age, and profile photo. This data is used to identify you to other Goat Te users and makes it easy for your friends to find your account on the service. If you provide your school, you will be listed in the classmate section of the app and your classmates will be able to request to be friends with you.

Contacts Data

When signing up for an account on Goat Tea, you have the option to give Goat Tea access to your address book to find friends on Goat Tea. We will use your Contacts in order to identify other Users that you may know or that your Contacts may know and to provide you and other Users with suggestions with whom to connect, such as friends-of-friends. We may also present your Contacts as options in polls if you do not have at least 12 friends on the app. Choosing Contacts in polls does not send them an invitation to join Gas. We will never send text messages to your Contacts without your explicit permission.

You can invite friends to join Goat Tea by sending them a message with a link to install the app. The invitation may include your school name and the names of your friends on Goat Tea. We do not automatically send messages to your friends on your behalf. Instead, you have to send the message yourself. This means you&aposre always in control of what messages get sent to your friends. When sending an invitation, you are also sending a friend request. We do this so they can immediately accept your friend request after signing up.

Location Data

Before creating an account on Goat Tea, you have the option to give Goat Tea access to your approximate location data. We will use your approximate location to suggest nearby schools to join and to determine if Goat Tea is available in your area.

Your approximate location data is not stored or linked to your identity and we do not track your location after your account is created.

Device and App Activity Data

When you use the app, we automatically collect certain information about your device (such as the type of device, operating system, IP address, and unique identifiers) and how you interact with the app (such as the actions you take and how long you use the app). We use this information to improve the app, create new features, and keep our systems secure.

How We Disclose Data

We do not sell, rent, license, or lease your data to third parties, nor do we share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. However, we may disclose it to the following third parties:

  • Service Providers – such as hosting services, customer support services, and analytics services.
  • Professional Advisors – such as lawyers and accountants.
  • Business Transaction Recipients – including counterparties and others assisting with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, asset sale, or similar transaction involving our business.
  • Legal and Safety – government authorities or regulators or other third parties where required by law or legal process or to protect Gas, users’, or other third parties’ rights and safety.

How You Share Data

You can use Goat Tea to answer polls about your friends.
