Privacy Policy – Vibes App Effective date: April 2024

Tatbeeq Withaq Company for Communication and Information Technology LLC ("us", "we", or "our") operates the www.thevibes.app website and the Vibes mobile application (hereinafter referred to as the "Service").

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions.

When you use these services, you’ll share some information with us. So we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the controls we give you to access, update, and delete your information.

That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy and it’s why we’ve tried to write it in a way that’s blissfully free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Nevertheless, we are happy to inform that we participate in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks.

If you still have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us.

Communicating with other users. It’s important to us that you stay in control over whom you communicate with.
