Lawa Privacy Policy
Last Revised Date: February 5, 2025
This Lawa Privacy Policy explains how Lawa ("Lawa," "we," "our," "us") handles any personal data we collect from visitors and users of the services related to the application (collectively, the "Lawa Services"). We value the privacy of our users and others who visit and use the Lawa Services (collectively or individually, "you" or "User") and want you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information.
Using Lawa Services
You may share personal information when using Lawa Services. For example, you provide information about yourself when creating a Lawa account. Another example is when you take certain actions on Lawa Services that are public or intended to be public, such as when you post content or profile information, which, given the social nature of certain Lawa Services, may be collected, used, or disclosed by others involved in the social interaction. Additionally, some features of Lawa Services are designed to provide information to others regarding user activities, such as identifying the user who created a particular clip or the subscription status of a particular channel user. We encourage you to keep this in mind when considering your activities on Lawa Services.
