LEGAL / PRIVACY
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Humo Messenger processes, why it is needed, and the choices available to you.
1. Who we are
Humo Messenger (the “Service”) is owned and operated by UniconSoft LLC (“UniconSoft,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), located in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This Privacy Policy applies when you use the Humo mobile application, website, and related services.
2. Information we process
Account information
We process your phone number and information you choose to add to your account, such as your name, profile photo, username, and biography. Verification information is used to register and secure your account.
Contacts and connections
If you grant contact access, Humo may process contacts from your device to help you find people you know. You can deny or revoke this permission in your iOS or Android device settings. We also process information about the users, groups, and channels with which you interact.
Messages, calls, and content
We process messages, photos, videos, voice and video messages, files, call information, reactions, captions, and related metadata as needed to transmit, synchronize, store, and display them. Content you share with another person or a group is visible to those recipients.
Technical and usage information
We may process device and app details, IP address, language, time zone, connection information, push-notification tokens for Apple or Google notification services, identifiers needed for account sessions, and diagnostic, crash, security, and performance logs. This information helps keep the Service reliable and secure.
Information you choose to provide
When you contact support, report a problem, or send feedback, we process the information in your request and any files or screenshots you attach.
3. Device permissions
Humo requests access only when a feature needs it. Depending on the features you use, this may include:
- Notifications to alert you about messages and calls.
- Contacts to help find and communicate with people you know.
- Camera and microphone for calls, photos, videos, and voice or video messages.
- Photos and media to let you select content to send and save content you request.
- Location only when you choose to share a location or use a location-based feature.
- Platform integrations, such as Siri on supported Apple devices, when you enable the related feature.
You can manage these permissions at any time in iOS or Android settings. Turning off a permission may disable the related feature but will not prevent you from using unrelated parts of Humo.
4. How we use information
We process information to:
- create, authenticate, and maintain your account;
- deliver and synchronize messages, calls, media, files, groups, and channels;
- provide notifications and user-selected alert sounds;
- operate, troubleshoot, protect, and improve the Service;
- detect spam, abuse, fraud, security incidents, and violations of our Terms;
- respond to support requests and communicate important service changes; and
- comply with applicable law and valid legal requests.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on performance of our contract with you, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the Service, your consent, and compliance with legal obligations.
5. When information is shared
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information in these circumstances:
- With other users: information and content you choose to make visible or send is shared with the intended users, groups, or channels.
- With service providers: infrastructure, hosting, storage, push delivery, security, diagnostics, and support providers may process information only to perform services for us and under appropriate safeguards.
- For safety and legal reasons: we may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect rights and safety, or investigate abuse and security threats.
- Business changes: information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law and continued protection.
Apple and Google may independently process information when you download Humo from the Apple App Store or Google Play, use their platform services, or receive notifications through Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging. Their respective terms and privacy policies apply to that processing.
6. Storage and international transfers
The Service may process information on systems located in Uzbekistan or other countries where we or our service providers operate. Data-protection rules may differ from those in your country. We use contractual, organizational, and technical safeguards appropriate to the information and applicable law.
7. Retention
We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Service, maintain account continuity and security, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Retention depends on the type of information, why it is processed, and whether you delete content or your account. Limited records may remain in backups or be retained where required for fraud prevention, security, legal claims, or regulatory compliance.
8. Your choices and rights
You can update profile details, manage notification and privacy settings, revoke device permissions, delete individual content where the feature is available, or delete your account. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or a portable copy of certain information.
For account-deletion instructions, visit Delete Humo Account. For another privacy request, email info@uniconsoft.uz. We may need to verify that the request relates to your account.
9. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No service can guarantee absolute security. Protect your device and verification codes, use device security features, and contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
10. Children
Humo is not directed to children who are below the minimum age required to consent to use an online service in their country. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided personal information without the required permission may contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the Service, law, or our practices. We will update the date above and, when appropriate, provide an additional notice in the app or through another suitable channel.
