Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Controller

This Privacy Policy describes how DAF Consulting Group LLC, doing business on Google Play under the developer name DAF Consult (“Cozi,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), handles personal information in connection with Cozi - Video Chat & Date.

DAF Consulting Group LLC is the controller of personal information where that term applies. This Policy covers the Cozi Android application, related websites and webviews that link to it, support, moderation, safety review, and associated services (collectively, the “Service”).

2. Adult Eligibility and Age Information

Cozi is intended only for users aged 18 and older. We may process a date of birth, age confirmation, eligibility response, account history, and other limited signals reasonably necessary to apply age restrictions, investigate suspected minor access, and comply with law or Google Play requirements. A person under 18 may not create or use a Cozi account.

3. Information We Collect

Account and profile information

Depending on the registration method and features used, this may include a user ID, email address or phone number, authentication information, display name, age or birth-date confirmation, gender, profile photo, biography, interests, language, region, dating or contact preferences, and account settings.

User content and communications

We process content you create, upload, send, receive, or share, such as profile information, text messages, photos, videos, audio, voice messages, and support communications. Content you send to another user is disclosed to that user as part of the feature you select.

When you start or accept a one-to-one audio or video call, Cozi processes the live audio and video streams needed to connect participants. We may also process call metadata, including participant identifiers, start and end times, duration, connection quality, and technical diagnostics. Other participants may capture or redistribute communications using tools outside our control.

Usage, device, and network information

We and our providers may collect IP address, app-instance or device identifiers, device model, operating system and app version, language, time zone, network type, connection quality, crash reports, diagnostics, security events, access times, screens viewed, feature interactions, profile or communication activity, reports, blocks, and approximate location inferred from IP address.

Advertising information

Where advertising is enabled and permitted, we may process the Android Advertising ID, ad interactions, limited device information, and approximate location to deliver, limit, secure, and measure contextual or personalized advertising.

Purchases

Google Play processes payment credentials. We do not receive your full card number or Google account password. We may receive a product identifier, order or transaction ID, purchase time, price, currency, country, entitlement, refund status, and limited billing status to deliver and administer purchases.

Reports and safety information

We process reports, blocks, appeals, support requests, attachments, and relevant account, content, message, call-metadata, device, and network context when reasonably necessary to investigate scams, impersonation, harassment, non-consensual content, child sexual abuse and exploitation, fraud, or other violations.

4. Android Permissions

Permissions are requested in context. You can deny or revoke optional permission in Android settings, but the associated feature may stop working.

We do not use camera or microphone content for advertising. Cozi does not intentionally activate the camera or microphone when a user-initiated call, voice message, or capture feature is not active.

5. How We Use Information

• create, authenticate, maintain, and secure accounts;
• provide profiles, discovery, preferences, text and media messaging, and one-to-one audio or video calls;
• personalize features, recommendations, language, and, where permitted, advertising;
• fulfill digital purchases and maintain account-bound entitlements;
• diagnose technical issues, measure performance, prevent duplicate delivery, and improve the Service;
• detect and address fake accounts, spam, scams, harassment, exploitation, illegal content, fraud, and security threats;
• review reports and appeals and enforce our Terms of Use and Child Safety Policy;
• send service, security, transaction, policy, and support communications; and
• comply with law, lawful process, reporting duties, and legal claims.

6. Legal Bases

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on performance of our contract with you, consent for optional permissions or other processing where required, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting Cozi, compliance with legal obligations, and protection of vital interests in emergencies. You may withdraw consent prospectively without affecting processing already lawfully completed.

7. How Information Is Shared

We may disclose relevant information:

• to other users, according to the profile, call, message, or media-sharing feature you choose;
• to service providers, supporting hosting, real-time communications, authentication, moderation, analytics, customer support, security, fraud prevention, and messaging;
• to Google Play and payment providers, for distribution, billing, entitlements, refunds, fraud prevention, and compliance;
• to advertising and measurement partners, for the purposes described above, subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements;
• to authorities and safety organizations, when required by law or reasonably necessary to address illegal content, valid legal process, or imminent danger; and
• in a business transaction, such as a financing, merger, restructuring, acquisition, or transfer, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some U.S. state laws may classify certain advertising disclosures as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Eligible users may exercise applicable opt-out rights through available controls or by contacting us.

8. International Processing

Cozi serves users across jurisdictions. Information may be processed in the United States and in other countries where we or our providers operate. Where required, we use contractual or other legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.

9. Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Account and profile information is generally retained while an account is active. Messages and uploaded content are retained as needed to provide the selected feature and according to deletion choices. Purchase, tax, and accounting records may be retained for the legally required period, which may be up to seven years in some jurisdictions.

Reports, enforcement, fraud-prevention, and child-safety records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to protect users, prevent repeat abuse, resolve disputes, and comply with law. Isolated backups are removed or overwritten on a controlled cycle. De-identified data may be retained where it no longer reasonably identifies an individual.

10. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including access restrictions, encryption in transit, monitoring, logging, vendor review, and incident-response processes. No system is completely secure. Keep your credentials confidential and notify us if you suspect unauthorized account access.

11. Your Choices and Rights

You can edit profile and communication settings, revoke Android permissions, reset or delete the Advertising ID through Android settings, block or report users, and request account deletion.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, obtain portability, withdraw consent, opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, limit certain sensitive-data uses, or appeal a denied request. We may verify identity and may limit a request where permitted by law, including to protect another person or preserve safety evidence.

12. Account and Data Deletion

Cozi provides an in-app deletion path and an external request method. Visit the Cozi Account Deletion page for instructions, deletion scope, verification, processing time, and limited retention exceptions. Suspension or deactivation is not a substitute for deletion.

13. Children’s Privacy

Cozi is not directed to children and does not permit anyone under 18 to create or use an account. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child for ordinary product use. If we learn that a minor has accessed Cozi, we may restrict or close the account and delete associated data, subject to safety, reporting, and legal preservation obligations. See our Child Safety Policy.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy as Cozi, our providers, or applicable law changes. We will post the revised Policy with a new effective date and provide additional notice where legally required.
