Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-01

This application is named WeDu. We fully understand the importance of personal information to you and will make every effort to keep your personal information safe and secure. We are committed to maintaining your trust in us and protect your personal information by adhering to principles such as consistency of rights and responsibilities, clear purpose, choice and consent, minimum necessity, security assurance, subject participation, and openness and transparency.

I. Information We Collect

Collected at registration: username and password, email address, avatar and nickname (optional). Collected during use: chat records (stored on servers for multi-device sync), device information (for push notifications), and log information (for troubleshooting).

Other information used by WeDu features

When you use Nearby, the plaza, and your profile, the photos, date of birth, gender, bio, interest tags, prompt answers, posts, likes, and interactions you provide are used to display your profile, recommend nearby people, match users, and provide those features. If you use identity verification, membership, diamonds, or gifts, the related verification information and transaction records are also processed. Content you choose to send in chats, voice calls, or video calls is delivered to the relevant recipients.

Location and visibility

After you allow location access while using the app, WeDu obtains your device coordinates when you use features such as Nearby and reports them to the server to recommend people nearby and show approximate distance. The app does not continuously track location in the background for this purpose. You can revoke WeDu location permission in iOS settings.

II. Purposes of Information Use

• Provide instant messaging services • Enable multi-terminal message synchronization • Send system notifications and push messages • Safeguard account security • Improve the product experience

III. Information Sharing

We will not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information under the following circumstances: • With your explicit consent • As required by laws and regulations • When necessary to protect the safety of users and the public

The profile information, photos, posts, and approximate distance you choose to show may be visible to other users depending on the feature and visibility settings. Chat content is delivered to its recipients. Device identifiers needed for push notifications may be processed by the relevant push providers.

To provide audio and video calls, push notifications, and crash diagnostics, the app integrates Tencent Real-Time Communication (TRTC), Apple Push Notification service, GeTui, Firebase Messaging, and Firebase Crashlytics. These providers may process call data, push identifiers, and diagnostic information needed for those functions.

If you choose to use the AI Assistant, the text or voice you submit is processed by third-party services as described in the separate in-app consent notice: DeepSeek processes text, and Microsoft Azure processes voice synthesis. You can decline and avoid using AI features.

IV. Information Security

We adopt measures such as encrypted transmission (HTTPS/WSS) and access control to protect the security of your information. In the event of a data security incident, we will notify you in a timely manner.

V. Your Rights

You may at any time: • View and modify your personal information • Deactivate your account • Withdraw authorizations you have granted • Request deletion of your data

You can edit your profile, photos, interests, and posts in the app, and request account deletion. Transaction records that must be kept by law may remain after deletion, and messages you sent may remain on recipients’ devices. The app explains any conditions in its deletion confirmation screen.
