Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 13, 2026

WIDS Corp. ("we," "us," or "our") built the GiliChat app as a Free/Freemium app. This SERVICE is provided by WIDS Corp. at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use our Service.

If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that we collect is used for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. The information that we request will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy.

a. Authentication Data (Google Sign-In)

We use Google Sign-In for authentication. When you log in, we collect your basic profile information (such as your email address, display name, and profile picture) provided by Google. This is used solely to create and manage your account.

b. Hardware Permissions (Camera & Microphone)

GiliChat is a video communication app and requires access to your device's Camera and Microphone to function. We do not record, save, or store your video or audio streams on our servers. The video and audio data are processed in real-time through our third-party provider (ZegoCloud) to connect you with other users.

c. Abuse Reporting Data

To maintain a safe community, we allow users to report inappropriate behavior. If you are reported, we collect the report reason, your User ID, and a timestamp. We use this data strictly for moderation purposes to ban users who violate our Terms of Service.

AdMob may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your device and your interactions with the ads to provide personalized advertising. You can opt out of personalized advertising in your device's settings (e.g., by enabling "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android).

Our Service is strictly limited to users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. In the case we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to take necessary actions.

Child Safety and Legal Compliance: In cases where we identify content that may involve child exploitation or endangerment, we will take appropriate steps, including notifying law enforcement and/or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) or other relevant regional authorities as required by law. We are committed to complying with applicable child safety regulations.
